Ear,
nose, and throat (ENT) disorders are the most common reasons for visits to a
primary care physician. Most patients with ENT disorders visit the doctor early
in the disease process as associated symptoms and signs are readily visible.
The physical appearance of the tongue, teeth, gums, and palate indicates
different physiological states. These indications can be used to detect and
diagnose the particular disorder. Some of the common ENT disorders are chronic,
acute and recurrent tonsillitis, recurrent and acute otitis media (OM), and
recurrent and allergic rhinitis along with chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS).
Common cold is the most frequent upper respiratory tract infection (URI).
Nearly half of the cases of cold affecting children can be attributed to a
variety of up to 200 distinct viruses which are seasonally active (Source:
Journal of Biomedical Therapy 2010 Vol. 4, No. 2). For instance, rhinoviruses
are active in the early fall, summer, and spring. Disorders related to the ear
such as hearing loss constitute a considerable share of ENT disorders.
According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication
Disorders (NIDCD), 2 to 3 among every 1,000 children in the U.S. are born with
detectable level of hearing impairment in one or both ears. Hearing aids and
hearing implants are used to treat the hearing impaired patients. While hearing
aids amplify the incoming sound, implants transform sound into electrical
signals that stimulate the patient’s auditory nerve.

Some
of the key factors driving the ENT devices market are rising incidence of ENT
related infections and traumas, increased prevalence of geriatric population
around the world, and growing awareness about ENT disorders and their
prevention and cure among the target population. According to the data revealed
by the (NIDCD) in 2016, the highest amounts of hearing loss disorders exist in
the age group between 60 and 69. As per a study conducted by Action on Hearing
Loss, in 2015, over 11 million people in UK were living with some form of
hearing loss, which amounts to one in every 6 persons in the UK. According to
the data revealed in 2016 by health direct, an information service supported by
Government of Australia, adults usually encounter 2 to 4 colds every year
whereas, children usually get affected by cold 5 to 10 times in a year as they
are less immune to cold causing viruses. Such high prevalence of common cold in
children and adults will favorably contribute to the growth of ENT devices
market over the forecast period. However, factors such as high cost and
unfavorable reimbursement policies for hearing aids are likely to hinder the
growth of ENT devices market.
Technological
advancements in ENT diagnostic and surgical devices will offer lucrative growth
opportunities for the manufacturers. Latest developments in minimally invasive
Trans-Oral Robotic Surgeries (TORS) are highly effective as recovery time for
patients undergoing such surgeries is considerably reduced. In these surgeries,
surgeons use computer enhanced, sophisticated systems to remove oral cancers
assisted by an enhanced view of the existing cancer and the surrounding tissue.

Some
of the key players in the ENT devices market are Medtronic plc. Stryker
Corporation, Olympus Corporation, KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG, Smith &
Nephew plc., Sonova Holdings AG, Acclarent, Inc., William Demant Holdings A/S,
and Cochlear Limited. Development of technologically advanced ENT devices is
the key strategy adopted by these players. For instance, in September 2016,
Med-El obtained FDA approval for its SYNCHRONY EAS (Electrical Acoustic
Stimulation) hearing implant system. This system is a combination of two
technologies viz. the Synchrony cochlear implant technology, which is used to
stimulate the auditory nerve in high frequency hearing loss, and the SONNET EAS
audio processor, which has built-in acoustic amplification used for low
frequency hearing loss.
