Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT) Market Highlights 2020-2029
The hearing assistive technology (HAT) market is estimated to grow with a moderate CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-2029. Hearing assistance technology (HAT) refers to a wide range of devices beyond traditional hearing instruments designed to facilitate the reception of auditory information. These products bridge the distance between the listener and the speaker by routing the conversation from the speaker directly to the ear of the listener without the additional presence of background noise or signal degradation. With a rising middle class in many developing countries, progression in technology, ongoing training programs for those involved in amplification fitting, along with the growing investments for the development of hearing assistive technology are expected to fuel the progress of this market. The growth of the market can also be attributed to factors such as the increasing geriatric population on a global level. According to the data collected from United Nations, by 2050, 1 in 6 people in the world will be over the age of 65, up from 1 in 11 in 2019.
The market is segmented based on functionality type into wireless device, and wired device, out of which, the wireless device segment is anticipated to grab the largest share by the end of 2021 on account of freedom and extended mobility offered by wireless devices, the surge in IoT devices, rapid development and proliferation of wireless technologies. Moreover, wired device is widely being used owing to the low price, zero latency, and better audio quality offered by these devices to the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
On the basis of device type, the wireless/wired headsets segment in the global hearing assistive technology (HAT) market is projected to grow with a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the fact that demand of personal hearing devices is growing on account of rapid internet proliferation, growth in OTT platforms, and growing number of smartphone users.
