What is Cochlear Implants?

 


Cochlear Implants Market By Implantation (Unilateral Implantation And Bilateral Implantation), By End-User (Adults And Pediatrics), by geography, is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR forecast till 2026 owing to the rising prevalence of hearing loss across the globe and increase in approvals of technologically advanced products. 

What is Global Cochlear Implants Market Value?

The global cochlear implants market was valued at USD 1.38 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.92% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2026, to reach USD 2.43 billion by 2026. The rise in demand for cochlear implants is primarily owing to the growing prevalence of hearing loss of different types such as conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, one-sided sensorineural hearing loss, and others among the population worldwide. Moreover, the growing burden old-age population, technological advancement in cochlear implants, and increase in product approvals by the authorities are some other factors responsible for cochlear implants market growth.

What is Cochlear Implants Market Dynamics?

The market for cochlear implants is gaining momentum at present owing to the rising prevalence of hearing loss among the population across the globe where hearing aids are not much helpful. According to the statistics published by the World Health Organization 2021, more than 5% of the world population comprising 432 million adults and 34 million children have some degree of hearing loss. Also, as per the same data, the increase in people with hearing loss by the year 2050 is estimated to increase to 700 million.

In addition, rising exposure to high-intensity sound which could lead to hearing impairments and hearing loss will also raise the demand for cochlear implants. For instance, as per the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics released in the study Deafness and hearing loss in the year 2021, an estimated 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent hearing loss globally due to unsafe listening practices. 

Moreover, the rising burden of age-related hearing loss is also a driving factor for the cochlear implants market. For instance, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders 2021 data, around 2% of the population with disabling hearing loss were adults aged between 45 and 54 years and the rate increased to 25% and 50% of those aged 65 to 74 and 75 and older, respectively in the US. 

Henceforth, the above-mentioned factors will contribute to the global cochlear implants market growth during the forecasted period. However, certain factors such as the stringent regulatory approval process of the devices and the high cost of the implants and surgical procedures are the factors likely to hamper the cochlear implants market growth. 

Further, the unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has dived down the market growth for cochlear implants. This is because, with the rise in the COVID-19 cases, the government across the globe implemented various safety measures such as lockdown and stringent guidelines which disrupted the supply chain of cochlear implants internationally. Cochlear implants are surgically placed inside the ear. Therefore, the cancellation of elective surgeries in the hospital during the pandemic situation to prevent the transmission of the disease among the patients as most of the population receiving cochlear implants belong to the old age group also impacted the cochlear implants market. However, due to the launch of vaccines, the post-pandemic situation of the market is expected to gain normalcy as manufacturers have increased their manufacturing capabilities along with hospitals resuming elective surgical procedures.
