According to the new research report published by The Insight Partners, titled “Earplug Market - Global Analysis and Forecast to 2025”, the global earplug market is expected to reach US$ 1,331.6 Million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period 2018 to 2025.
By 2025, APAC is estimated to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period globally.
Occupational noise exposure has recorded to cause approximately 7-21% of hearing loss among the workers, and therefore Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) has become a noteworthy health issue with economic consequences globally. The significant rise in NIHL by occupational noise is thus known to influence the growth of Hearing Protection Devices (HPD) such as earplugs, in developing as well as developed regions. Furthermore, momentous rise in the count of employees in construction as well as manufacturing industry has also contributed to the growth of earplugs market globally. Government regulations regarding occupational noise control and use of HPD after a certain limit of sound production in industries has resulted in widespread awareness regarding the importance of usage of hearing protection devices, particularly in noise induced industries. However, not all employees/workers in the industries are adaptive towards the earplugs as the regular foam disposable earplugs do not provide satisfactory comfort, and the cost associated with making of custom molded earplugs for each and every employee is practically not possible, especially for large enterprises. The lack of proper education for usage and importance of earplugs along with relatively higher cost of custom molded earplugs are therefore expected to impede the market growth during the forecasted period.
