An otoscope is a part of audiological equipment with light generation and magnification capabilities that can be used to examine the ear canal and tympanic membranes from the outside. The otoscope is frequently used as a tool for detecting physical problems in the ear during routine exams. An otoscope can provide a good view of the eardrum, tympanic membrane, and ear canal as long as no obstructions are present. Some of the disorders such as otitis media (middle ear), otitis externa (external ear), and similar other conditions can be detected with an otoscope. A nasal examination is another frequent application of the otoscope, which eliminates the requirement of a nasal speculum. When the speculum is removed, the otoscope is suitable to examine the upper throat. All otoscopes provide magnification and illumination of the tympanic membrane and ear canal so that audiologists can undertake a visual examination, however, different otoscopes have varying qualities and capabilities depending on the technology they employ.
The major factors that drive the growth of the global otoscope market include technological advancement in otoscopes and increase in geriatric population that is more susceptible to hearing disorder. In addition, rise in incidence of noise-induced hearing loss propels the market growth. However, lack of awareness in developing countries is likely to restrain the growth of the otoscope market during the forecast period. Conversely, growth potential of emerging economies is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to the market players.
The global otoscope market is segmented into product type, portability, application, and region. According to product type, the market is categorized into standard size, pocket size, and accessories. By portability, it is segregated into portable and wall mounted. On the basis of application, it is segmented into diagnosis and surgical. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
