The global cerebral palsy market size was valued at USD 3.38 Billion in 2023 and is expected to surpass USD 4.53 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising healthcare expenditure for the infant population and availability of advanced treatment devices of cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy refers to a neurological disorder that primarily affects the coordination of body movement of an infant due to imbalance brain development before birth, during birth, or after birth. The disorder is widely prevailed among the infant population. An infant with the disorder has incapable to walk independently and unstable walking patterns due to disturbance in body balance, body motion, and body posture. Patients with cerebral palsy show symptoms of various physical disabilities and impairment such as vision or hearing impairment and seizures besides a severe case of intellectual impairment. It is primary caused by the immature brain development after birth or other factors such as severe jaundice, bleeding into the brain, and brain infections of an infant. Without a proper and timely treatment or therapy, a patient may result to permanent paralysis.
The number of patients suffering from the disorder is higher in developed countries. As per the report by the Cerebral Palsy Guidance, around 10,000 babies are born with cerebral palsy each year in the US. According to the data published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2017, nearly 1 in 400 babies are born with the cerebral palsy in the UK and approximately around 1,800 infants are diagnosed with the disorder every year. The COVID-19 pandemic had adversely affected the market due to increasing decline of the patients visit to hospitals for the treatment as the majority of healthcare organizations were totally focused on handling the virus spreading.
High prevalence of cerebral palsy among infants, especially in developed countries present a key factor driving the market.
Rising awareness among parents about the medications and advanced treatment methods for the disorder are expected to fuel the market in the coming years.
High spending on the healthcare sector and wide availability for insurance coverage for the disease treatment further boost the market.
High cost of the device treatment and some side effects of using treatment medications are the main restraining factors that can hamper the market.
Extensive R&D programs and technology development for the development of innovative medicines and devices are projected to create several growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

Based on types, the global cerebral palsy market is divided into ataxia cerebral palsy, spastic cerebral palsy, dyskinetic cerebral palsy, athetoid cerebral palsy, postnatal cerebral palsy, congenital cerebral palsy, hemiparesis of cerebral palsy, hypotonic cerebral palsy, and diplegia of cerebral palsy. The spastic cerebral segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period as it is the most common type of the disorder occurred among the infants. As per global health reports, spastic cerebral type accounts for nearly 77% of all cerebral palsy cases worldwide.
In terms of treatments, the market is segmented into surgery, medication, and therapy. The medication segment accounted for a large market share in 2021 and is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years owing to wide availability of drugs such as muscle relaxants drugs, anti-depressants drugs, anti-convulsant drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anti-spastic drugs. Medication remains a key component of the disorder treatment as parents usually prefer to adopt medication treatment first. The options for therapy and surgery are generally considered after the medication treatment of the disorder is not improving or working with the patients.
On the basis of diagnosis, the global cerebral palsy market is classified as laboratory tests, imaging tests, and others. The imaging tests segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT); ultrasound, and electroencephalogram (EEG). Moreover, the wide popularity of the imaging tests in diagnostic purposes due to its certain benefits such as accurate diagnostic results present another key driver of the segment.
Based on medical devices, the market is categorized as orthotic devices, ENT devices, and eye-tracking devices. The ENT devices segment accounted for a large market share in 2021 and is anticipated to exhibit a robust growth rate during the forecast period owing to rising demand for electronic communication boards and other ENT devices such as hearing aids and implants.
On the basis of end-users, the global cerebral palsy market is segregated into physiotherapy centers, hospitals, specialty clinics, home care, pathology centers, ambulatory, and others. The hospitals segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to high admission of the patients to hospitals due to the wide availability of advanced treatment devices and the presence of specialized doctors for the disorder.
In terms of regions, the global cerebral palsy market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America held a dominant market share, representing more than 37% share of the total revenue of the market in 2021 and is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period owing to high prevalence of the disorder among a large portion of the infant population, rising adoption of novel treatment devices, and increasing spending on health-related issues. Moreover, the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure and favorable reimbursement policies from medical insurance companies further drive the regional market.
