Voice prosthesis device Market Size, Share, Segments, Trend, Statistics, Manufacturers, Drivers and Restraint Research Report by 2027

A vocal prosthesis device is used in conjunction with voice therapy to assist laryngectomized patients whose larynx has been surgically removed to talk. This gadget is built of silicon and provides the patient with good voice quality as well as simple device maintenance. Patients who have had their vocal prosthesis installed do not need to expend much effort when speaking. On the other hand, it allows pulmonary air to reach the oesophagus and pharynx while preventing food from the food pipe, such as saliva, from entering the trachea. There are basically two ways to insert the voice prosthesis with the help of the guide wire, one is through the throat and other through the mouth. There are several manufactures that are operating in global voice prosthesis device market.

One of the primary factors likely to stymie global voice prosthesis device market expansion is the high cost of vocal prosthesis devices. For example, long-term devices such as the Blom-Singer indwelling prosthesis developed by Singer and Blom cost US$80, while the Provox2 prosthesis created by Atos medical costs US$182.

The short life term of vocal prosthesis devices, on the other hand, is another factor that is likely to impede the growth of the voice prosthesis device market throughout the forecast period. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), in 2017, different 3,648 vocal prosthesis devices (VP) were put in 390 individuals in the United States, with nearly two-thirds of prostheses removed owing to leakage, and the remainder removed for other reasons. Furthermore, the device had a life duration of 61 days for all prostheses. This aspect is predicted to reduce demand for voice prostheses.

North America is expected to account for largest market share in global voice prosthesis devices market, owing to major key players operating in these region such as InHealth Technologies. Moreover, in 2018, U.S. FDA announced that the medical device including ENT surgical devices are more safe and efficient for the patient. Therefore, availability of voice prosthesis as safe for the patient, which is expected to boost demand for the voice prosthesis device.
