Cerebrospinal Fluid Management Market

Industry Overview

The global cerebrospinal fluid management market size is expected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2023 to USD 3.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period ranging from 2025 to 2030.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) typically is a colorless fluid in the brain and spine. This normally offers immunological and mechanical protection. There are different devices that manages CSF such as drainage systems and shunts. They control the flow of CSF to prevent hydrocephalus.

The global cerebrospinal fluid management market is expanding at a rapid rate due to the growing incidents of hydrocephalus as well as the growing aging population in need for CSF shunts, thereby increasing the demand for these devices and fueling the market expansion.

The growth of the market is however hindered by the lack of trained professionals and the high cost of devices. New growth opportunities are offered to the market due to the growing healthcare expenditure and improving healthcare infrastructure especially in emerging economies.
