Hearables shipments will exceed 217 million units by 2024, up from 167 million in 2022; representing a total growth of 30% over the next two years.

• The assistive and healthcare-focused hearables segments, typified by Nuheara’s IQbuds and Bose’s SoundControl Hearing Aids, are key to this growth; comprising 18% of hearables shipments by 2024, compared to 12% in 2021.
• The growing implementation of ‘right to repair’ legislation has the potential to limit future hearables shipments. To overcome this, vendors must leverage the growing capabilities of digital voice assistants to address emerging hearables use cases, including industrial monitoring and productivity enhancement, with the goal of expanding revenue streams and capturing early market share.
• The US and Germany will grow to account for 50% of total hardware revenue from emerging hearables use cases by 2024. This is due to these regions’ high levels of industrial digitalisation, allied with widespread connectivity and ubiquitous numbers of consumer devices.
• The Juniper Research Competitor Leaderboard, which provides an independent assessment of hearables vendors’ market standing, identified Apple as leading the hearables market.
• This is due to Apple’s expansive, differentiated offerings; comprising high-quality audio with advanced assistive and healthcare-focused technologies that leverage its existing partnerships with stakeholders across the value chain in established and emerging use cases.
