Earplugs Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018 – 2026

Earplugs are the piece of rubber, wax, or cotton wool which is placed in the ear as protection against water, noise, or cold air. They cancel outside noise, provide comfort, and protect ears from injuries. These are best used for noise cancellation and hearing protection to humans exposed to 85 decibels and above. Earplugs may or may not be reusable and fit over the entire external ear including seal and lobe against the side of the head with suitable pad or cushion. The uniform attenuation devices are designed to provide more natural sound perception using acoustic filters having linear attenuation from 100 to 8000 Hz. These are made of rubber-like soft material which is held in place by suspension assembly or head band.
Increasing demand for Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) or noise cancellation devices are expected to drive the demand for earplugs over the forecast timeline. Growing consciousness about ear protection amongst the population will boost the growth of the earplugs industry. It draws out the ambient noise by playing sound in the canal, thereby acting as a defensive hearing aid. These are proven effective for noise cancellation.
However, lack of awareness about the importance of earplugs in African and other non-mature markets is expected to hamper the earplugs market over the forecast timeline. Improper hearing attenuation is also a major factor challenging the growth of the earplugs market.
By end-use, the industry can be segmented into forestry, construction, mining, manufacturing, military & defense, and healthcare. Mining sector accounted for majority of the market share which is expected to continue till 2026. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the mining industry has the highest noise exposure at hazardous workplaces amongst all other industrial sectors.
