With a reported market share of over 50% in China, Siemens is said to have 1,000 stores and 2,000 fitting centers in the country, covering all of the first-tier cities and 90% of the second-tier cities. Radke says the Chinese hearing aid market is expected to experience double-digit growth in the next 5-10 years due to the fact that it has 180 million people over age 60 and a 5% market penetration (compared to the 20-25% global market).
