Market Scenario

The global hearing screening and diagnostic devices market size is presumed to exhibit a CAGR of 7.40 % during the forecast period (2022-2030) owing to the growing geriatric population, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). Hearing screening and diagnostic devices are the instruments used to treat deafness. Hearing loss can arise from non-heredity factors and heredity factors due to certain complications at the time of childbirth or pregnancy. Chronic ear infections, meningitis or measles can cause hearing impairment.

Drivers and Constraints Impacting the Market

The increasing level of noise pollution has affected the global population to a great extent. Loud music systems during any festive occasion along with noise created by the traffic are major causes of hearing loss. Factors such as growing geriatric population, increasing patient pool due to birth complications, ear infections, and genetic disorders are propelling the market growth during the assessment period. Besides, government funding in clinical research and continuous technological developments in medical devices are further driving the market. For instance, the advent of cochlear implants has brought revolution in the hearing screening and diagnostic devices. The use of hearing screening and diagnostic devices has gained importance due to its potential to improve the quality of life.

On the flip side, unavailability of proper healthcare infrastructure and unaffordability of such devices in the middle-income countries are considered to impact the market negatively. Moreover, lack of awareness about the disease and high cost of the implant devices are likely to retard the growth of the market in the coming years.
