Market Overview:
The global AAC devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of speech and communication disorders, rising demand for technologically advanced AAC devices, and growing awareness about the benefits of using AAC devices are some of the major factors driving the growth of this market. The global AAC devices market is segmented on the basis of type into communication boards and displays and speech generating devices. The communication boards and displays segment is expected to account for a larger share in terms of revenue in 2018, owing to its large user base across all age groups. However, the speech generating devices segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to its growing demand from children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and cerebral palsy (CP). On the basis of application, adults accounted for a larger share in 2017; however, children are expected to witness higher growth rates during the forecast period due to increasing incidence rates ASD and CP globally.

Product Definition:
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices are tools that help people with communication disabilities to express themselves. AAC devices can include anything from low-tech picture cards to high-tech computer tablets. They are important because they help people with communication disabilities to participate in conversations and activities with others.
Communication Boards and Displays:
Communication boards and displays are used in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices to communicate information to the user. They are also used in manually operated devices such as manual wheelchair, manual scooter, manual computer or manually operated medical equipment. Communication boards & Displays market is segmented on the basis of product type which includes visual display unit (VDU), voice output device (VOD), speech input device (SID) and text entry system.
Speech Generating Devices:
Speech generating devices are electronic devices that generate speech output. These devices can be used by people who have difficulty in using the voice or any other mode of communication. Speech generating device is an essential element for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) Devices as it helps them to communicate their needs and express themselves freely.
These speech generating device work on batteries, which provide enough power to operate for a longer time period.
Application Insights:
The adults segment held the largest share of the global market in 2017. The application of augmentation devices among adults is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to growing geriatric population and rising awareness regarding disability amongst this group. According to United Nations, by 2050, there will be more than 70 million people aged 60 or above globally, which is expected to increase demand for effective communication solutions such as AAC.
The children segment was estimated as one of the fastest-growing segments owing to increasing prevalence of speech disorders and other language related problems in infants and toddlers caused due to hearing loss or difficulty in comprehending sounds & words due largely in part because they are not ableto communicate effectively with others yet.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing prevalence of deafness and growing awareness about AAC are contributing to growth in this region. According to a study conducted by National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), over 15 million people suffer from hearing loss in U.S., which is nearly 12% of the population aged 65 and older, 6% among those aged 55-64 years, and 21% among those aged 45-54 years (Hearing Loss Association of America 2015).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for AAC devices from special education institutes and hospitals
- Growing awareness about the benefits of AAC devices among parents and caregivers
- Rising number of product launches by key players in the market
- Increasing adoption of AAC devices by speech language pathologists (SLPs) worldwide
- Technological advancements in the field of AAC devices
