Bone Conduction Hearing Aids Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
The bone conduction hearing aids market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period.
The major factors driving the studied market includes technological advancements, high incidence of hearing loss in the older population.
In the healthcare industry, the evolution of technology has been significant, primarily with respect to hearing aid devices. Many people are not aware about the changes and advancements in hearing aid devices. Currently, these devices can meet the various needs of people with hearing impairment, while providing comfort.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 6.1% of the world population (466 million) was living with hearing loss in 2018. Added to that, 34% of this population is children only. The rising demand for minimally invasive hearing devices coupled with growing awareness regarding the availability of bone conduction hearing aids is expected to fuel the market growth over the future. Moreover, the bone conduction hearing aid provides good sound quality and lesser chances of infection compared to other hearing aid devices. However, the high cost of the devices and disadvantages such as discomfort and pain in a few cases may hamper market growth.
Key Market TrendsBone Anchored Hearing Aids are Projected to Grow at a Healthy RateThe bone-anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a surgically implanted device designed to help people with hearing loss and bypass particular problems by sending sound vibration directly to the inner ear through the skull bone. These work best for people who have at least one inner ear that functions normally. The prevalence of hearing loss among the older population is growing and leading to the high demand for adult bone-anchored hearing aids. Furthermore, growing awareness and advancements in technology in the diagnosis of hearing loss in infants and children is expected to boost the child/pediatric bone conduction hearing aids segment growth.
The growth in healthcare infrastructure around the world and rising spending on healthcare are fuelling the adaptation of new technologies which is boosting the market growth.
The new innovations in bone conduction such as ease of use, noise reduction and increase in durability changing the phase of bone conduction hearing aids and further fuelling the market growth in the near future.
