Cerebrospinal Fluid Management Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Type, by Age group : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Cerebral Spinal Fluid Management Market Research, 2031

The global cerebrospinal fluid management market was valued at $0.67 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $1.03 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2031. Cerebrospinal fluid is an ultrafiltrate of plasma contained within the ventricles of the brain that performs vital functions like providing nourishment, waste removal, and protection to the brain. The excess cerebrospinal fluid building up within the fluid-containing cavities or ventricles of the brain can give rise to the condition like hydrocephalus.  The adult CSF volume is estimated to be about 150 ml, with a distribution of 125 ml within the subarachnoid spaces and 25 ml within the ventricles. When excess CSF builds up around the brain, it can create harmful pressures on the tissues of the brain confined within the skull. The accumulation of CSF occurs due to either an increase in production of the fluid, a decrease in its rate of absorption or it can also accumulate from a condition that blocks its normal flow through the ventricular system.
