The voice prosthesis devices and equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for voice prosthesis devices and equipment has seen significant expansion in the past few years. The forecast indicates an increase from $1.26 billion in 2024 to $1.41 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%.
The historical growth of this trend can be linked to increasing cases of laryngeal cancer, an aging population, heightened awareness of speech rehabilitation, and support from healthcare providers.
The voice prosthesis devices and equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the ensuing years, swift expansion is anticipated in the voice prosthesis devices and equipment market. It is predicted to reach a valuation of $2.16 billion in 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%.
Factors contributing to this growth within the forecast period include the adoption of minimally invasive procedures, expansion in emerging markets, regulatory backing and reimbursement schemes, and the use of telehealth and remote speech therapy. Key trends expected during this forecast period encompass advancements in device materials, speech recognition technology, personalised and patient-focused solutions, and the use of rehabilitation apps and digital tools.
The anticipated rise in larynx cancer cases is projected to spur the expansion of the voice prosthesis devices and equipment market. Larynx cancer, also known as laryngeal cancer, is a type of cancer that originates in the larynx tissues, commonly known as the voice box. The typical treatment for this disease often involves the surgical removal of the larynx, known as a total laryngectomy, resulting in the patient losing their natural voice. As a result, those who have had their larynx removed often seek methods of voice restoration, thereby increasing demand for voice prosthesis devices. For example, a report by the American Cancer Society pointed out in January 2023 that around 12,380 new cases of laryngeal cancer are expected in 2023, with 9,900 cases affecting men and 2,480 cases affecting women. The report also estimates that around 3,820 people (3,070 men and 750 women) are anticipated to lose their lives to laryngeal cancer in 2023. Hence, the rising incidence of larynx cancers is a significant factor propelling the growth of the voice prosthesis devices and equipment market.
