The global hearing aids market size is estimated to reach USD 17.87 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 7.05% from 2026 to 2035, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of hearing aid devices, and the growing awareness regarding technologically advanced products for the treatment of hearing loss are some of the factors contributing to the market growth. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2050, the number of individuals living with disabling hearing impairment will approach 900 million. Besides that, physiological ear aging, hereditary vulnerability, increasing noise exposure, vascular illness, and chronic inflammation are factors that will contribute to increasing incidence of hearing impairments.
Furthermore, rising public awareness regarding audiological impairment through strong government support and audiology devices is anticipated to create an opportunity for new entrants in the market. For instance, the WHO commemorate World Hearing Day on March 3rd each year to promote awareness regarding hearing loss and safe listening.
Key companies in the sector are improving their products via technological innovation, which is likely to boost market growth throughout the forecast period. For instance, in February 2022, Oticon, Inc. extended its product range to make Oticon's innovative BrainHearing technology accessible. Two new Oticon More miniBTE models have been added to meet the demand for consumers who want compact, inconspicuous behind-the-ear (BTE) choices.
