expected to reach USD 7.3 billion by
2025, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6%
over the forecast period, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc.
Increasing adoption of hearing aids, growing awareness about technologically
advanced products for treatment of auditory loss, and rising prevalence of

With Covid-19
infections rising globally, the apprehension regarding a shortage of essential
life-saving devices and other essential medical supplies in order to prevent
the spread of this pandemic and provide optimum care to the infected also
widens. In addition, till a pharmacological treatment is developed, ventilators
act as a vital treatment preference for the COVID-19 patients, who may require
critical care. Moreover, there is an urgent need for a rapid acceleration in
the manufacturing process for a wide range of test-kits (antibody tests,
self-administered, and others). The report will account for Covid19 as a key
market contributor.
Behind-the-ear hearing aids was the largest product type
segment in 2018 and is expected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast
period. This is because they are easy to handle and clean and are more
preferred by younger population. Moreover, they can fit into various ear molds
and don't need device replacement as the child grows. With technological
advances, new products such as the Mini BTE have been developed, which are
smaller in size and provide more comfort.
The digital technology dominated the market in 2018 and is
expected to retain its position over the forecast period. Digital technology
hearing aids are technologically advanced and can be programmed according to
the external environment to amplify sound and reduce noise, thus providing an
enhanced auditory experience.
The retail sales channel segment dominated the market in
2018 and is expected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period. This
can be attributed to higher profit margin in retail stores and increasing
number of companies investing in company-owned retail stores to gain higher
revenue share. In addition, companies such as William Demant Holding A/S,

The global hearing
aids market size was valued at USD 5.3 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow
at a lucrative rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to key
factors such as increasing adoption of these devices, growing awareness about
technologically advanced devices for the treatment of deafness, and increasing
prevalence of hearing loss due to growing geriatric population.
Hearing service
offices and general healthcare service associations of local governments in
both developed and developing economies are emphasizing on early screening of
deafness and provision of hearing aids to people. As the healthcare sector in
emerging economies is moving towards privatization, healthcare infrastructure
in these countries is undergoing rapid development. Education and increased
awareness about health among people are also playing an important role in
increasing the demand for these devices and its diagnostic services.
Behind-the-ear (BTE)
products dominated the market in 2018. Canal devices are anticipated to emerge
as the fastest growing products with a CAGR of 8.7% in terms of revenue and are
expected to remain the same over the forecast period.
BTE hearing aids
consist of a small curved case that comfortably fits behind the ear.
Modification of these products is possible by connecting them to external sound
sources, such as infrared listening systems and auditory training equipment.
Various BTE models are Bluetooth compatible and they enable better wireless
connectivity, thus driving the market.
These devices also
provide a higher sound amplification owing to a strong amplifier and a large
battery. Furthermore, behind-the-ear (BTE) devices are easy to handle and clean
and are more preferred by younger population as they can fit into various ear
molds. Moreover, they don’t need device replacement as the child grows. With
technological advances, new products such as the Mini BTE are developed, which
are smaller in size and provide more comfort. These factors are responsible for
the growth of these BTE products in the hearing aids market.
Canal devices are
discreet devices, which is one of the critical success factors for their rapid
growth. Wearing hearing aids comes with a stigma therefore, young adults prefer
canal devices over other devices. Additionally, these devices are technology
advanced and significantly cancels external voices and reduces tinnitus. The
above-mentioned factors are responsible for the growth of canal devices in the
coming years.
