簡介目錄

近年來,助聽器市場規模強勁成長,從2024年的119.4億美元成長至2025年的129.7億美元,複合年成長率達8.6%。這段時期的成長歸因於人口老化加劇、噪音污染加劇、政府對市場的投資、併購交易的增加、新興市場的強勁經濟成長以及醫療保健支出的增加。

預計未來幾年助聽器市場規模將強勁成長,到2029年將達到177.4億美元,複合年成長率為8.1%。預測期內,推動這一成長的因素包括研發投入的增加、耳機和藍牙設備的廣泛普及、政府舉措、人口快速老化、聽力損失患病率的上升、醫療保健支出的增加以及醫療保健可及性的提高。預測期內的主要趨勢包括新技術平台的推出、新產品的推出、對新興創新公司的策略性收購以及先進創新技術的開發。

助聽器專為聽力損失人士設計,旨在放大聲音,使他們能夠更清晰、更有效地聆聽。這些助聽器包含多種功能,旨在增強溝通能力,改善聽力損失人士的生活品質。

助聽器類別的主要產品包括耳內接收器 (RTE) 助聽器、耳背式 (BTE) 助聽器、耳內 (ITE) 助聽器、耳道式 (ITC) 助聽器和完全耳道式 (CIC) 助聽器。助聽器中的接收器充當耳內的揚聲器系統,將麥克風拾取的聲音放大並傳送至耳內,使大腦能夠解讀聽覺體驗。助聽器適用於成人和兒童。傳統助聽器和數位助聽器等技術被用於解決成人和兒童患者的傳導性和感音性聽障。分銷管道包括耳鼻喉診所、藥局和線上銷售。

2025年春季美國關稅的突然上調及其引發的貿易摩擦對醫療設備行業產生了重大影響,尤其對用於診斷影像設備的進口零件、手術用不銹鋼和一次性塑膠製品產生了重大影響。由於醫院和診所抵制漲價,製造商面臨利潤壓力。監管挑戰使情況更加複雜,因為由於關稅而更換供應商通常需要重新認證醫療設備,導致市場進入延遲。為此,企業正在透過雙重採購關鍵零件、增加標準化產品的國內生產以及加快尋找更具成本效益的材料來降低風險。

本研究報告是商業研究公司 (The Business Research Company) 新報告系列的一部分,該系列提供助聽器市場統計數據,例如全球市場規模、區域佔有率、競爭對手的助聽器市場佔有率、詳細的助聽器細分市場、市場趨勢和機遇,以及您在助聽器行業取得成功所需的數據。本助聽器市場研究報告對該行業的現狀和未來趨勢進行了詳細分析,為您提供所需的一切觀點。

未來五年8.1%的預測成長率比我們先前對該市場的預測略有下降0.1%。下降的主要原因是美國與其他國家之間關稅的影響。美國可能會直接感受到這種影響,因為來自丹麥和愛爾蘭等主要地區的數位訊號處理晶片和可充電鋅-空氣電池的供應鏈中斷,這可能導致助聽器選擇減少,聽力康復成本上升。這種影響將透過互惠關稅以及貿易緊張局勢和限制加劇對全球經濟和貿易的負面影響,更廣泛地感受到。

聽力損失盛行率的不斷上升是助聽器市場成長的關鍵催化劑。光是在美國,就有超過3500萬名兒童和成人受到不同程度的聽力障礙的影響。此外,由於噪音污染水平上升、遺傳因素、耳部感染疾病和其他相關併發症等因素,預計到2050年,全球將有約9億人遭受聽力損失。聽力損失患者的數量支撐了全球對助聽器的巨大需求。

政府和監管支持力度的加大預計將推動助聽器市場的擴張。政府和監管支援是指政府當局和監管機構為支持、指導和監督特定產業、部門或活動而實施的政策、行動和措施。政府和監管支持的增加正透過改善可及性、嚴格的品質標準、研究激勵措施、宣傳宣傳活動、強制保險覆蓋和簡化核准流程等舉措推動助聽器市場的成長。這些措施將擴大市場,促進技術創新,並使助聽器更實惠、更易於聽殘障人士使用。例如,2023年5月,美國聯邦機構美國食品藥物管理局(FDA)為18歲及以上、於2022年8月16日自我報告輕度至中度聽力損失的成年人推出了新的消費者助聽器分類。該分類於2022年10月17日生效。因此,政府和監管支持的增加正在推動助聽器市場的成長。

3D列印技術的應用已成為助聽器市場的顯著趨勢。 3D列印是一種將2D模型轉化為3D實體的技術,它有助於生產佩戴舒適度更高、佩戴更舒適的助聽器,並使其更具個性化。該技術可以根據客戶的耳道和聽力損失程度來客製化耳罩的形狀。例如,索諾瓦公司 (Sonova) 利用先進的 3D 列印技術,根據每位客戶的特定需求客製化助聽器。一些著名的 3D 助聽器產品包括 EnvisionTEC 的 E-Shell 200 系列、E-Shell 300 3D 列印材料系列以及 EnvisionTEC 的 E-Clear 系列。

助聽器市場的主要企業正在策略性地開發可充電助聽器,以建立競爭優勢。可充電助聽器是一種可充電重複使用的設備,無需使用一次性電池。一個值得注意的例子是,2023年8月,加拿大助聽器製造商Unitron推出了Moxi V-RS,這是一款基於Vivante平台的可充電助聽器。這款突破性的助聽器提供獨立的左右助聽器,佩戴舒適,並配有磁性充電盒,更加便利。 Moxi V-RS確保與數位裝置的無縫連接,使佩戴者能夠輕鬆播放電話、音樂等。它還允許輕鬆控制助聽器,只需輕輕一按即可。 Remote Plus應用程式提供個人化的聽力控制、更佳的音質和現代​​化的設計,有助於提升整體使用者體驗。

Hearing aids, devices, and equipment are specifically designed to amplify sound for individuals experiencing hearing loss, enabling them to hear more clearly and effectively. These devices encompass a variety of tools aimed at helping individuals enhance communication and improve their quality of life when facing hearing difficulties.

The primary products within the category of hearing aid devices and equipment include receiver-in-the-ear hearing aids, behind-the-ear hearing aids, in-the-ear hearing aids, in-the-canal hearing aids, and completely-in-the-canal hearing aids. The hearing aid receiver functions as the speaker system for the ears, playing amplified sounds captured by the microphone into the ear, allowing the brain to interpret the auditory context. The target demographic comprises both adults and children. Technologies such as conventional hearing aids and digital hearing aids are employed to address conductive and sensorineural hearing loss in both adult and pediatric patients. Distribution channels encompass audiology and ENT clinics, pharmacies, online sales, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis.

The hearing aid devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.94 billion in 2024 to $12.97 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased older population, increased noise pollution, government investments in the market, increased mergers and acquisitions, strong economic growth in emerging markets, and increased healthcare expenditure.

The hearing aid devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in R&D activities, widespread usage of headphones and bluetooth devices, government initiatives, rapid growth in elderly population, increasing hearing loss prevalence, a rise in healthcare expenditure, and increasing healthcare access. Major trends in the forecast period include launching of new technology platforms, new product launches, strategic acquisitions of emerging and innovative companies, and development of advanced and innovative technologies.

The forecast of 8.1% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for digital signal processing chips and rechargeable zinc-air batteries, sourced from key regions such as Denmark and Ireland, which could lead to reduced hearing assistance options and increased costs for auditory rehabilitation.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing prevalence of hearing loss serves as a significant catalyst for the growth of the hearing aid devices and equipment market. In the United States alone, over 35 million children and adults are affected by varying degrees of hearing impairment. Additionally, it is projected that approximately 900 million individuals worldwide will experience hearing disabilities by 2050, attributed to factors such as elevated noise pollution levels, genetic influences, ear infections, and other related complications. The substantial number of people grappling with hearing loss underscores a substantial global demand for hearing aid devices.

A surge in government and regulatory support is anticipated to drive the expansion of the hearing aids market. Government and regulatory support encompass policies, actions, and measures implemented by governmental authorities and regulatory bodies to provide assistance, guidance, or oversight to specific industries, sectors, or activities. The heightened backing from governments and regulatory bodies is set to fuel the growth of the hearing aids market through initiatives such as enhanced accessibility, stringent quality standards, research incentives, awareness campaigns, insurance coverage mandates, streamlined approval processes, and more. These collective measures extend the market's outreach, encourage innovation, and make hearing solutions more affordable and accessible to individuals with hearing impairments. For example, in May 2023, as per The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a federal agency based in the U.S., on August 16, 2022, the FDA introduced a new classification for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids intended for adults aged 18 and above experiencing self-reported mild to moderate hearing loss. This classification came into effect on October 17, 2022. Hence, the increased government and regulatory support are steering the growth of the hearing aid market.

The utilization of 3D printing stands out as a prominent trend in the hearing aid devices and equipment market. 3D printing, a technology that transforms 2D models into 3D objects, facilitates the production of hearing aid devices that offer superior fitting, enhanced comfort, and customization. This technology enables the customization of the ear shell shape based on the customer's ear canal and degree of hearing loss. For instance, Sonova leverages advanced 3D printing technology to manufacture tailored hearing aid devices that meet each customer's specific requirements. Notable examples of 3D hearing aid devices include EnvisionTEC's E-Shell 200 Series, E-Shell 300 3D Printer Material series, and EnvisionTEC E-Clear series.

Leading companies in the hearing aids market are strategically developing rechargeable hearing aids to establish a competitive advantage. Rechargeable hearing aids are devices that can be charged and reused, eliminating the need for disposable batteries. In a noteworthy example, in August 2023, Unitron, a hearing aid manufacturing company based in Canada, introduced Moxi V-RS, a rechargeable hearing device powered by the Vivante platform. This innovative device offers individual left and right-side instruments for comfort and is accompanied by a magnetic charging case for added convenience. Moxi V-RS ensures seamless connectivity with digital devices, enabling wearers to effortlessly stream calls, music, and more. The user-friendly experience is further enhanced through tap controls, allowing users to easily control their hearing aids. The Remote Plus app provides personalized hearing control, improved sound performance, and a modern design, contributing to an enhanced overall user experience.
