Market Overview:
The global earplug market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing awareness about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and its prevention measures, rising demand for custom-fit earplugs, and growing popularity of music festivals. In addition, the increasing adoption of earplugs by industrial workers for protection against hazardous noise levels is also contributing to the growth of the market. However, high cost associated with custom-fit earplugs may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis on type, PU-foam earplug segment is projected to lead global Earplug Market with highest CAGR over forecast period 2018 – 2030 owing its properties such as low price point and good acoustic insulation characteristics. PVC foam Earplug segment is anticipated second largest revenue generating segment due superior sound attenuation properties as compared other types available inEarplug Market followed by Silicone Rubber Ear Plug which are widely used in medical applications . On basis on application Music concerts are expected witness highest CAGR over forecast period owing large number events taking place across world coupled with rising disposable income among people has resulted increased spending on live entertainment globally .
Product Definition:
An earplug is a device that is inserted into the ear canal to protect the user's ears from loud noises. Earplugs are often made of silicone, foam, or wax.
PU-foam Earplug:
PU-foam earplug is a type of polymer foam, which is produced from the reaction of polyurethane with foaming agents. It has an open structure and hence provides high sound insulation. The product finds application in various end-use industries including construction, marine, oil & gas and automotive among others.
PVC-foam Earplug:
PVC-foam earplug is a type of foam ear plug manufactured using polyvinyl chloride. PVC-foam is widely used in the production of soft and noise cancellation ear plugs. The material has good insulation properties, which make it suitable for use in noise cancellation products. It also provides passive protection against harmful noises as well as helps to block out external sounds resulting from engine revving, gunshot, etc.
Application Insights:
The music application segment led the global earplug market in 2017. This is attributed to the rising number of concerts and live performances across the globe. According to a study conducted by Live Nation, Inc., there were approximately 175,000 artists performing on 575,000+ dates in 2015 globally. Moreover, according to Pollstar magazine¢â‚¬â„¢s year-end 2016 data file, there were 1,818 major concerts held across North America which generated a revenue of more than USD 4 billion. The industrial production segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing product demand from various industries including automotive and construction for hearing protection at work place or during training sessions or job sites where noise levels are high enough to cause hearing damage if unprotected ears are exposed for long durations.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period, owing to increasing awareness regarding personal health and safety coupled with stringent government regulations for soundproofing in industrial facilities, concerts, sports stadiums and other public venues. In addition, rising cases of noise-related hearing loss among users are anticipated to drive product demand further.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 due its large population base along with growing industrialization and construction activities that generate huge volumes of noise pollution across various industries including transportation & logistics (trucking), manufacturing & metalworking, oil & gas sector as well as military installations/ bases/docks etc., which result in increased risk of hearing damage among workers over a period of time.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the importance of ear protection and its benefits among people, especially in industrial and manufacturing sectors.
- Growing demand for custom-fit earplugs from individual consumers, owing to the increasing popularity of personal audio devices such as headphones and earphones.
- Rising number of concerts and music festivals across the globe, which is resulting in an increase in demand for high-quality earplugs from event attendees.
- Proliferation of online retail platforms that offer a wide range of affordable earplug products to consumers worldwide.
- Increasing number of workplace safety regulations mandating use of hearing protection devices such as earplugs, thereby driving their adoption among workers
