Hearing Instruments 2010: Baby Boomers, Bottlenecks and Boosting Growth
Published 2-25-10
Price: Full Version US$ 3,495.00; Audiologist Version US$ 350.00
Pages: 150 (est.)
     
Overview
Baby boomers represent a potential multi-decade growth engine for hearing aid makers but distribution bottlenecks and cultural taboos may hinder market potential. Hearing instrument vendors and dispensers need to keep abreast of the latest market developments to remain competitive. Consolidation and evolution have accelerated. Since 1990, the number of manufacturers has dropped by more than 50 percent. Currently the top six vendors account for 91 percent of global sales. While sales are polarized, technology innovation is not limited to these giants. Smaller firms continue to bring unique technologies to the market. Population changes brought about by aging baby boomers portend high growth rates but also threaten to bottleneck the distribution channel.
 
The report is available in two formats to serve multiple audiences. The full report, priced at $3,495.00, contains nearly 150 pages of global market sizing and share, technology and concise analysis, market projections and strategy recommendations
 
The "Audiologist Version" is 63-pages and is priced at $350. It excludes the Global Market Sizing, Global Market Share and Market Opportunities chapters that are of more interest to manufacturers. The Audiologist version also limits manufacturer profiles to the top three.
