The global hearing aids market size is 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 auditory loss are some of the factors contributing to the market growth over the forecast period.
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.

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.
