Hearing Aid Coin Cell Batteries Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 610 Million
Thursday,16 May,2024
A recent report reveals that the global hearing aid button battery market size is expected to reach USD 610 million by 2024. Forecasts indicate that the market size could reach a staggering $1.04 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.2x. From 2022 to 2030. Several key factors are driving this steady upward trajectory.
First and foremost, the rising prevalence of hearing impairment globally is driving demand for hearing aids and their tiny power supplies. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2050, nearly 2.5 billion people will suffer some degree of hearing loss, compared to about 1.5 billion today. This growing healthcare challenge is exacerbated by an aging population, coupled with increased noise pollution and lifestyle factors.
Technological innovations in hearing aid design have made these devices smaller, more discreet and equipped with advanced features such as Bluetooth connectivity, noise cancellation and language translation. These power-hungry features require longer-lasting, higher-capacity coin cell batteries to meet users' needs.
On the product front, zinc-air battery chemistry dominates the hearing aid coin cell battery market, and is set to account for over 60% share by 2021. These eco-friendly batteries offer high energy density and flat discharge profiles to ensure consistent performance throughout their service life. Silver oxide and lithium coin cells are also popular choices, valued for their compactness and ability to handle extreme temperatures.
In terms of size, the ubiquitous 312 and 675 models together accounted for nearly half of last year's global market revenue. Their versatility in adapting to a wide range of hearing aid models has made them a must-have for manufacturers and users alike. However, as hearing aid sizes continue to shrink, smaller sizes like the 10 and 13 are becoming increasingly popular.
Geographically, North America and Europe are currently leading the way due to high awareness, robust healthcare infrastructure, and large elderly population. However, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years. Increasing disposable income, government initiatives for hearing healthcare, and rapidly growing geriatric population in countries such as China and India are fueling the market expansion.
Key players in this segment include heavyweights such as Duracell, Energizer, Rayovac, Panasonic, Sony, Renata, and Varta. Product innovation, cost optimization, and strategic partnerships with hearing aid manufacturers are key strategies used by these battery giants to maintain their competitive edge.
Duracell, for example, recently launched its “Optimum” line of hearing aid batteries, touting higher energy density and longer-lasting performance. Energizer, on the other hand, is focused on expanding its distribution network and building partnerships with hearing clinics around the world.
The future of the hearing aid button cell market looks bright, driven by a growing number of potential users and progressive technological advances.
