However, due to increasing spending for the improvement of health and safety standards in economies such as India and China, the hearing protection devices market in this region is expected to witness significant growth in the near future. The workers in agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and the military areas get exposed to loud sound. This sound exposure can be minimized by wearing the hearing protection devices, which allow permissible level of decibel without causing any adverse effects to the user. This is further expected to drive growth of the market.
