The global Cleft Lip Surgery Market size is expected to reach USD 631.6 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Cleft palate or cleft lip surgery is a surgical procedure for the cleft palate (roof of the mouth), which is performed for treating the birth defects of the upper palate and upper lip. The cleft lip repair procedure aims to restore normal facial function and appearance of the upper lip. Cleft lip surgery is usually performed three to four months after birth. Cleft lip and palate repair, the most common surgery, is a surgical procedure that restores a gap in the upper lip that’s developed during fetal formation. In most countries, insurance typically covers cleft lip procedure, because it’s a congenital deformity.

The rising incidence of a defect in fetal development, growing awareness in developing countries, and increasing disposable incomes are some of the factors that are responsible for the market growth. Furthermore, reimbursement for cleft lip surgery is also a major driving factor to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Cleft lip defect with or without cleft palate is the second most prevalent birth deformity in the United States, affecting one in every 940 births and resulting in approximately 4,437 cases every year. Several reports estimated the prevalence range from 7.75 to 10.63 per 10,000 live births. In the last few years, there has been increasing evidence that cleft lip and palate could be the result of poor folic acid and vitamin B levels in the mother.

With an incidence of 7 children per 1,000, cleft lip and palate defects are one of the most common deformities in India. Thus, with the growing vitamin deficiency cases and rising population in countries like China and India, the market for cleft lip surgery is likely to grow. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused havoc and had significantly affected the market. Due to the global restrictions and lockdown being imposed in most of the countries initially, many non-emergency treatments and surgical procedures were halted. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge disruption in the supply chain of the overall medical industry. The outbreak had resulted in a decrease in the number of dental procedures performed each year, resulting in an overall decline in the dental matrix systems market.
