Global Speech Aid Devices Market - 2024-2031
Global Medical Non-implantable Battery market reached US$ YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Tablets and laptops are examples of speech aid technologies, which facilitate communication for those with speech or language impairments. In addition, they permit children to communicate through language in ways other than vocal speech. These are portable electronic gadgets that play words or phrases in response to button presses, switch presses or key presses.
People who struggle with word pronunciation due to physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy or acquired brain injury are the ones who utilize these devices the most frequently. Speech-generating gadgets are occasionally used by autistic children, especially when they are still establishing their language and speech.
Market
Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing technological advancements
The increasing technological advancements in developing speech aid devices and the increase in the launch of new devices are expected to drive market growth. For instance, In August 2023, Voiceitt released the Voiceitt. Voicett is a new web application, powered by the company's next-generation technology, that is available to customers through its partner and authorized reseller, the assistive technology company, RAZ Mobility.
Additionally, in June 2023, Amrita University researchers created a ground-breaking AI-enabled device that can turn eye signs into speech. This would help millions with verbal expression challenges or speech impairment. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of speech disorders and increasing development of advanced devices are expected to drive the market growth.
High cost of the devices
High cost of speech aid devices is expected to hinder market growth. The devices with advanced features are expected to be expensive which can restrict the individuals from purchasing them. Cost can be a factor that makes it inaccessible to individuals suffering from speech disorders.
Segment AnalysisnThe global speech aid devices market is segmented based on the display, application, input, output, technology, end user and region.
Fixed Display Devices segment is expected to dominate the market share
Fixed display devices segment is expected to hold the dominant position due to several factors and their efficiency in aiding the speech-disordered individuals. Communication options are easily accessible on fixed displays, requiring little in the way of selection or navigation. This is very helpful to users who have restricted dexterity, motor skills, or cognitive ability.
Compared to dynamic gadgets that have more options and navigation requirements, fixed displays are simpler to learn and operate due to their static nature. As a result, consumers are free to concentrate on expressing themselves rather than learning how to utilize the gadget. Fixed displays reduce users' cognitive load and facilitate more natural and efficient communication by offering fewer options and an easier-to-use interface. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the segment in the dominant position.
Geographical Analysis
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the speech aid devices market share
North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the market share in the forecast period owing to the prevalence of speech disorders in the region and also the increasing technological advancements and also due to the presence of major key players in the region.
For instance, according to the Columbus Speech and Hearing report in 2021, it is estimated that around 28-60% of children with a speech and language deficit have a sibling or parent who is also affected. The prevalence of speech sound disorder in young children is estimated to be 8- 9%.
It is estimated that more than 3 million Americans stutter. Stuttering affects people of all ages but occurs most frequently in young children between the ages of 2 and 6.6-8 million people in the US have some form of language impairment. Approximately 7.5 million people in the US have trouble using their voices. Thus, an increase in the number of individuals with speech disorders is expected to drive market growth with the increasing demand for the devices.
COVID-19 Impact AnalysisCOVID-19 has impacted the growth of the market moderately. The shift of medical device companies towards the development of the devices required for hospitalized patients and the supply chain disruption has affected the distribution of the devices which has impacted the market growth during the pandemic.
