The high prevalence of hearing loss, availability of technologically advanced hearing aids, growth in the aging population, and increasing initiatives by companies to expand in these emerging economies are driving the growth of hearing aids market.
MarketsandMarkets forecasts the Hearing Aids market to grow from USD 9.78 Billion by 2022 from USD 6.97 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Rising geriatric population and increasing conferences and symposiums help create awareness on market products and the latest technologies in hearing aids are the major factors supporting the growth of hearing aids market. The global Hearing Aids market is segmented into four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2017, Europe accounted for the largest share of this market majorly due to the high cost of hearing aids and the low penetration of these devices.
