Hearing Aid Market Report: 2010 Edition -- A New Report by Koncept Analytics

March 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Evolution of the digital technology has changed the overall dynamics of the hearing devices industry. Innovations have provided hearing-impaired people with cosmetically attractive mini-instruments, which have proven highly efficient in terms of performance. Meanwhile, the low adoption rates of the technologically improved hearing devices offer significant growth opportunities to the hearing devices manufacturers globally.

The hearing devices market is segmented into hearing aids and hearing implant market. In terms of growth, hearing implant industry has far outpaced the hearing aid industry, witnessing an average double digit growth. It has resulted in hearing aid manufacturers actively seeking investment into the high growth market of hearing implant. Also, hearing implant companies are planning to foray into hearing aids market.

North America and Europe are the major hearing aids markets, in terms of sales, whereas in terms of people with hearing disorder, Asia is the largest region as it accounts for over half of the global hearing loss population. The worldwide market for hearing aids is moving towards shorter product life cycle, convergence of hearing aids & consumer electronics and industry consolidation through mergers & acquisitions.
