Market Report Description

The Global Cochlear Implants Market size is expected to reach $2,706.4 million by 2025, rising at a market growth of 10.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2019-2025). Cochlear implants can be defined as the electronic medical devices used for replacing the internal ear function if it gets damaged. In contrast to other listening aids, cochlear implants are used to bypass the harmed inner ear skin cells (cochlea) to promote the transmission of sound signals to the body. These implants are helpful in both ears for patients with average to extreme listening impairment.

Market growth of cochlear implants can be ascribed to a favorable reimbursement situation, increased awareness of hearing aids, and increased implant adoption. Besides, technological advances in cochlear implants to render the instrument more effective and user-friendly can increase the demand. And this is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Because of the proximity of cochlear implant surgery to several essential parts of the inner ear, some patients report a post-operative sense of imbalance or vertigo. There have been numerous reasons, including the vibrations caused by drilling during surgery that patients may suffer from vertigo after the surgery. And this can be a major restraining factor for market growth.

Global Cochlear Implants Market Share By Product Type (2018)

Cochlear Implants Market Share

Based on Fitting Type, the market is segmented into Unilateral Implantation and Bilateral Implantation. Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Pediatrics and Adults. Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.

The overall cochlear implant market was dominated by unilateral implantation in 2018. Unilateral implantation dominance is largely attributed to higher consumer demand. Unilateral implantation surgery is performed at a reduced price than bilateral implant surgery. Also, several pieces of research have found a more cost-effective unilateral cochlear implant for adults. High demand from the older customer population is, therefore, likely to be responsible for the industry's dominance.

Geographically, Europe dominated the market in 2018 and during the forecast period is anticipated to keep its position. This is mainly linked to the European Union's favorable health infrastructure, which enables early implantation. Over the coming years, Asia Pacific is expected to experience the fastest development. This can be ascribed to increased consciousness of market players in the region and local involvement.
