Why invest in Sonova & strategy

• Attractive secular growth drivers
• Low penetration rate
• Rising adoption of implantable solutions
• New growth opportunities through connectivity and Internet of Things

Sonova is active in an attractive market, which is poised for further growth: Penetration rates in the mild to moderate category are still low, developed countries see increasing demand from the “baby boomer” generation and developing countries begin to bridge the gap in hearing care provision. The cochlear implants market is expanding from being mostly children born with hearing loss to adults whose hearing loss has become too severe to be treated only with hearing aids. Furthermore, our growing emphasis on connectivity and digital applications means that we can both broaden and deepen our engagement with consumers, offering trusted, valuable support at every stage of their journey to better hearing.
