Bone Conduction Hearing Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Bone Anchored Hearing Aids, Traditional Bone Conduction Hearing Aids), By Patient Type (Children/Pediatrics, Adults), By End-User (Hospitals, ENT Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centres) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Bone conduction hearing devices are a type of hearing aid. It is majorly used by people who are suffering from conditions such as unilateral hearing loss, conductive hearing losses, or people with mixed hearing losses who are not able to wear hearing aids. It is an alternative to a usual hearing aid for those patients with problems in their middle or outer ears. It transfers sound in the form of vibration through the bone, to the cochlea bypassing the middle and the outer ear.

Increasing incidence of hearing loss across the globe is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market. High incidence rate can be witnessed in the population above the age of 60. Also, pediatric population is affected with partial hear loss as well. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), about more than 4 out of every 1,000 children in the U.S. are born with partial or completed detectable level hearing loss. Also, one in ten people in the U.S aged 11 years or older has complete or partial hearing loss, based on standard hearing examinations. The incidence of hearing loss among the geriatric population is increasing and thereby boosting demand for adult bone conduction hearing devices. Moreover, rising technological advancements in diagnostic equipment of hearing loss for children and infants is anticipated to boost the pediatric/child bone conduction hearing devices segment growth.

However, concerns regarding high cost of bone conduction hearing devices and stringent regulatory requirements for the approval of these devices are also impeding the growth of the market.

Regional Analysis:

Geographically, the market can be classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North American region is likely to hold the largest share of the market and is anticipated to follow the same impetus over the forecast period. This growth of the market can be attributed to the presence of major companies operating in the bone conduction hearing devices market coupled with growing awareness regarding health and physical issues. Europe is estimated to be the second most productive market throughout the forecast period. The factors such as adoption of novel medical devices increase in the incidence of the hearing loss, and growing research and development activities to manufacture technologically advanced products are driving the market in this region, and rise in geriatric population in this region are likely to boost the growth of the bone conduction hearing aids market in this region. However, Asia-Pacific is likely to expand at high growth rate in near future. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increase in the elderly population, growing number of manufacturers penetrating the emerging Asian economies, and increase in the incidence of complete or partial hearing loss. The market in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa are expected to grow moderately in the forecast period.
