Global hydrocephalus market was valued at $6907.5 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $10178.6 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2030.
Hydrocephalus is defined as a condition in which the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gets accumulated in the brain. It is the abnormal buildup of fluids in the cavities deep within the brain. Hydrocephalus is one of the most common reasons for brain surgery in young children. As per the data published by the Hydrocephalus Organization, hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder that affects 1 out of 770 new-born and 1 out of 100 senior citizens in America. More than 1 million Americans are currently living with this chronic condition. Moreover, in the U.S., every 15 minutes a brain surgery related to hydrocephalus is performed.
Growth of the global hydrocephalus market is majorly driven by increase in the prevalence of neurological disorders, such as brain tumors, spinal cord injury, and stroke, are more prone to develop hydrocephalus and drive the growth of the market. Approximately 125,000 people in the U.S. are currently living with cerebrospinal fluid shunts, as per the University of California, Los Angeles Health Organization. Moreover, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in 2020, stated that 1 to 2 of every 1000 babies is born with hydrocephalus globally. These aforementioned statistics represent the rise in the prevalence of hydrocephalus across the globe.
By Cause
Acquired hydrocephalus segment hold a dominant position in 2020 and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
There is an ongoing trend of introducing advanced technology for hydrocephalus market in the developed economies such as the U.S. and Canada and then unveiling it to the rest of the world. For instance, in January 2021, CereVasc, engaged in the development of minimal invasive treatment for neurological disorder, announced the eShunt device which is used as a minimal invasive treatment of hydrocephalus. This propels the demand for advanced technique in the treatment of hydrocephalus which further supplements the growth of the market.
By Type
Communicating hydrocephalus Segment hold the dominant position and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
However, Shunt infections are serious complications that may lead to irreversible brain injuries, meningitis, prolonged hospital stay, increase in the use of antibiotics, and at times need for further surgeries. Similarly, malfunctions occur, owing to complete or partial blockage of shunts that interfere with their overall function. Therefore, such factors are anticipated to decrease the growth of the global hydrocephalus market during the forecast period.
Hydrocephalus Market Segmentation
The hydrocephalus market is segmented on the basis of cause, type, diagnosis, treatment, age and region. On the basis of cause, the market is categorized into congenital hydrocephalus and acquired hydrocephalus. By type, the market is segmented into communicating hydrocephalus and non-communicating hydrocephalus. The communicating hydrocephalus is categorized into normal pressure hydrocephalus, ex-vacuo hydrocephalus. The diagnosis segment is fragmented into CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound. Furthermore, on the basis of treatment, the market is categorized into surgery shunt insertion and ventriculostomy.
By Diagnosis
Ultrasound Segment hold the dominant position and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
The age is categorized into Neonate & Pediatrics and Adults. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA).
Segment Review
On the basis of cause, the market is categorized into congenital hydrocephalus and acquired hydrocephalus. The acquired hydrocephalus segment led the market in 2020, and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to increase in neurological disorders and injuries such as intraventricular hemorrhage, stroke, tumor, and several other types of CSF infections can result in the development of hydrocephalic conditions among patients
By Treatment
Surgery Shunt Insertion Segment hold the dominant position and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
On the basis of type, the market is segmented into communicating hydrocephalus and non-communicating hydrocephalus. The communicating hydrocephalus is categorized into normal pressure hydrocephalus, ex-vacuo hydrocephalus. The diagnosis segment is fragmented into CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound. Furthermore, on the basis of treatment, the market is categorized into surgery shunt insertion and ventriculostomy. The age is categorized into Neonate & Pediatrics and Adults owing to a rise in the incidences of intraventricular hemorrhage or other brain injuries. Furthermore, the surge in incidences of stroke among children and adults, owing to major lifestyle changes & disorders is anticipated to boost the demand for shunts in these age groups.
North America accounted for a major share in the global hydrocephalus market in 2020, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to rise in prevalence of neurological disorder, increase in number of hydrocephalus patients, development of advanced healthcare medical devices, and development in technology for hydrocephalus in the region.
By Age
Neonate and Pediatrics Segment hold the dominant position and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
However, Asia-Pacific is expected to register highest CAGR of 5.0% from 2021 to 2030, owing to increase in geriatric population as they are more prone to neurological disorders, rise in awareness regarding minimally invasive surgeries, surge in cases of stroke and CSF related disorders and technological advances accelerate the growth of the hydrocephalus market during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global hydrocephalus market include Aesculap Inc., Integra Lifesciences, Karl Storz Se And Co. Kg, Proteses Inc., Medtronic Plc. and Natus Medical Inc. Further, the service provider of hydrocephalus is Boston Children’s Hospital, Anadolu Medical Center, Helios Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and Children's National Hospital.
By Region
Asia Pacific region would exhibit the highest CAGR of 5.0% during 2020-2030.

Analyst Review
According to analyst perspective, the hydrocephalus market is expected to witness a steady growth in the future. The market has drawn the interest of the healthcare industry owing to increase in the prevalence of hydrocephalus among individuals has subsequently raised the adoption of shunts, owing to their ability to channel excess fluid from the brain to other parts of the body, which reduces pressure within the brain.
The occurrence of hydrocephalus is expected to increase in coming years, owing to a rise in the incidences of intraventricular hemorrhage or other brain injuries. Furthermore, the surge in incidences of stroke among children and adults, owing to major lifestyle changes & disorders is anticipated to boost the demand for shunts in these age groups.
Furthermore, the market is projected to gain traction in developed regions of North America and Europe during the forecast period. Advanced healthcare infrastructure, a larger pool of patients, increase in disposable income, awareness about hydrocephalic conditions, and availability of shunts used in surgical treatments are estimated to drive the market growth in North America and Europe.
