The bionic ear market is expected to cross ~USD 17.20 Billion by 2030 at a CAGR of ~7.80% during the forecast period.
Market Overview:
A bionic ear is an electronic device termed as a neural prosthesis which is designed for the people suffering from hearing disability. Itcan stimulate the hearing nerve and provide sound signals directly to the brain. The bionic ear constitutes a receiver-stimulator and an external sound processor; both are fit behind the ear. Additionally, the sound processor captures the external sound and then converts it to a digital code. This digital code gets transmitted to the receiver-stimulator fitted behind the ear. Furthermore, the receiver develops the electrical signals with the help of the received digital code and sends them to the electrode array, which is present in the cochlea. These devices can be used by both,the ones suffering from profound loss or total loss.The rising prevalence of hearing disorders is likely to lift the demand for the product. The increasing aging population will also create a larger patient pool of people living with hearing loss. For instance, it is estimated that as of March 2019, around 466 million people globally are having disabling hearing loss.The number is expected to reach 900 million by 2050.
COVID-19 Analysis of Bionic Ear Market
COVID-19 negatively impacted the bionic ear market. The pandemic resulted in severallockdown measures and added to the challenges ofpatients with hearing disabilities.Many hospitals were restricted to non-elective procedures and surgeries and reallocated hospital resources like nursing staff and ICU beds to care for patients with the coronavirus. Furthermore, there are limitations associated with treatments anda decline in the production of implantable bionics, which further restricted the growth of the bionic ear market.
Market Dynamics:
Drivers:
The rising prevalence of hearing disorders and the increasing geriatric population are likely to create a larger patient pool with hearing loss. For instance, according to the WHO,more than 360 million people in the world have hearing loss disabilities. Hearing loss is one of the leading disorders globally. According to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, the disorder increases with age, affecting 70% of people over 70 and 42% of people over 50. Moreover,the prolonged exposure to noise in recreational settings, increasing healthcare spending and the prelaunch of bionic ear devices are some other factors driving the bionic ear market size.
The demand for minimally invasive surgical techniques is increasing significantly andcannotablly augment the global bionic ear market. There has been significant growth in the adoption of such equipment due to technological advancements and the establishment of favorable insurance schemes
Restraints:
The stringent approval procedure associated with the bionic ear implants is projected to significantly hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Opportunities:
There have been increased R&D activities on bionic ears worldwide.Bionics institutes are aiming at improving the performance of bionic ears and the function of hearing nerves.
Bionic Ear Market Segment Overview:
By Device Type
Based on device type, the bionic ears market is segmented into cochlear implant, auditory brainstem implants, and bone-anchored hearing aid.The cochlear implant segment held a significant share of the market in 2020.Cochlear implantsare found to be effective than traditional devices. These devices enhance the sound quality and thus improve a person's ability to better understand a speech.It also helps regain the clear sound in a noisy environment and is even considered safe for children.
By End User
Based on end user, the bionic ear market is segmented into research institutes, hearing clinics, ad hospitals.Growing healthcare expenditure and increasing demand for bionic ears are anticipated to contribute to the market's growth. On February 20, 2019, the WHO released a new report on global health expenditure, according to which global spending on health increased in low- and middle-income countries by 6 percent and in high-income countries by 4 percent.
