The Middle East ENT devices market size was estimated at USD 272.80 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 456.47 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.97% from 2025 to 2033. The growth of ENT devices in the Middle East is driven by the rising prevalence of sinusitis, rhinitis, and hearing disorders, fueled by pollution, lifestyle changes, and an aging population. Expanding healthcare infrastructure and specialty clinics, supported by government and private investments, are boosting access to advanced ENT technologies.In January 2025, an article published in Cureus reported that 38.5% of participants had chronic ENT conditions, with sinusitis being the most common (22.2%), while symptoms such as chronic nasal congestion (46.2%), tinnitus (44.9%), and hoarseness (43.5%) were widespread.
The Middle East faces an increasing burden of otolaryngology diseases, with sinusitis, rhinitis, and hearing loss among the most common conditions. Urban air pollution, industrial dust exposure, smoking, and lifestyle choices directly contribute to higher rates. An aging population further increases the number of patients needing long-term ENT care. Untreated sinus infections often develop into chronic issues, and hearing loss is associated with decreased productivity and quality of life, raising healthcare demands. In 2024, the Saudi Journal of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery published a national systematic review on rhinosinusitis in Saudi Arabia. The study reviewed 14 articles involving 12,667 patients and found that among chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) cases, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) represented 11-14%, with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) being more common than the polyp variant.
Regional governments are focusing on healthcare as part of their efforts to diversify and modernize, allocating large budgets for hospital expansion, specialized clinics, and upgrades in medical technology. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are building large medical complexes with dedicated otolaryngology departments. Private companies are also investing in outpatient clinics and ambulatory surgical centers, using advanced ENT equipment to stand out competitively. In July 2025, Kuwait's Minister of Social Affairs, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah, announced the first distribution of hearing aids to citizens with hearing impairments after years of suspension. The program, supported by the Public Authority for the Disabled, aims to improve communication, independence, and social integration, with additional batches planned to fulfill pending requests.
Minimally invasive ENT procedures are rapidly displacing conventional surgeries due to lower complication risks, reduced hospital stays, and faster recovery. Techniques such as balloon sinuplasty, image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery, and cochlear or bone-anchored hearing implants are increasingly incorporated into standard care. Surgeons benefit from enhanced visualization and precision, while patients experience fewer postoperative complications and shorter downtime. Hospitals adopting minimally invasive approaches rely heavily on next-generation otolaryngology devices, which directly boosts market growth by encouraging continuous technology upgrades and higher procedure volumes.In June 2023, doctors at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat, Oman, successfully implanted a first-of-its-kind hearing device in a 14-year-old patient. The surgery restored hearing in the affected ear after years of loss and marked a milestone for advanced otolaryngology procedures in the country.
