Ear Infection Treatment Market, By Infection (Inner Ear Infection, Middle Ear Infection, and Outer Ear Infection), By Cause (Viral Infection and Bacterial Infection), By Type (Medication and Surgery), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
In an ear infection, narrow tubes that run from the middle ear to high in the back of the throat (eustachian tubes) can become swollen and blocked. Ear infection can affect the inner, middle, and outer layer of the ear. Ear pain and new onset fever after several days of a runny nose is probably an ear infection. Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common type of ear infection. This causes pain in the ear, commonly called an earache. Acute ear infections also cause severe pain and discomfort. Treatment varies and may include watchful waiting, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medicines. In many cases, ear infections clear up on their own.
Market Dynamics:
Increase in demand for safe and effective treatment due to increase in cases of ear infections in children compared to adults is expected to propel growth of the global ear infection treatment market during the forecast period. Eustachian tubes are smaller and more level in children than they are in adults. This makes it difficult for fluid to drain out of the ear, even under the normal conditions. Thus, children are more prone to ear infections than adults. According to the report published in March 2021 (titled Acute Otitis Media), around 80% of all children experience a case of otitis media during their lifetime, and between 80% and 90% of all children will have otitis media with an effusion before school age. Moreover, according to an article published in March 2021 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 5 out of 6 children in the United States experience ear infection by 3 years of age.
