Surging Incidence of Ear Infections Fuels North America Tympanostomy Products Market

Ear infections are more common in young children than adults. Ear infections can affect people with weakened immune systems, chronic skin conditions (such as psoriasis), and respiratory tract infections; these conditions are also common in individuals spending a lot of time in water. Otitis media (OM) is a type of ear infection that occurs in the middle ear and can affect the auditory system and ear structure. Children aged less than 6 are frequently affected by OM due to developing immune systems and anatomical structures.

According to the article “A Pediatrician Explains a Spike in Ear Infections After COVID-19 Restrictions Lifted,” nearly 25% of children suffer from ear infections at the age of 1, whereas ~60% of children suffer from ear infections by the age of 5. As per the article “Effect of Ear Infections on Hearing Ability: A Narrative Review on the Complications of Otitis Media,” published in the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the incidence of acute otitis media (AOM) is ~11% globally (i.e., nearly 700 million people) every year. Children account for a huge share of those infected, accounting for more than 50% of the cases.

In all, nearly 31 million people with AOM develop chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) each year, including >7 million children. Hearing loss affects more than 50% of individuals with CSOM, i.e., ~0.3% of the global population. Tympanostomy, a minor surgical procedure, is generally performed to remove the chronic fluid behind the eardrum to improve hearing and reduce the frequency of recurrent middle ear infections. Thus, the increasing incidence of ear infections such as OM in children, which may further cause hearing loss, fuels the growth of the tympanostomy products market.
