The geographical scope of the speech and language disorder market report encompasses an assessment of the market performance in North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, South America, Central America, the Middle East, and Africa. North America dominated the speech and language disorder market share in 2024. An increasing number of cases is the main reason for the rising prevalence of speech and language disorders, among them developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, and neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's disease. The National Institutes of Health's July 2025 publication of statistics on voice, speech, and language reveals that approximately 1 in 14 (7.2%) children aged 3-17 in the US had a disorder of voice, speech, or language in the past 12 months. Parental and medical professionals' awareness-raising efforts have positively influenced the diagnosis stage and the procedure of intervention followed, thereby increasing the need for speech therapy and the supply of related devices. In 2023, the NIH introduced the "TALK Initiative" for late-talking children to provide support to caregivers, educators, and professionals who guide such children. As a result of the coupling of AI and teletherapy platforms, research and development, growing investments, and effective marketing strategies, speech-language services are now available at lower costs with improved efficiency. The government undertakings and fund allocators, such as those under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the US, encourage the treatment and therapy of the affected group. Also, aging population, which is vulnerable to speech disorders caused by degenerative diseases, fuels the need for speech-language pathology services. There is a greater acceptance of digital health solutions and the use of mobile applications geared to speech therapy. In September 2025, Alberta inaugurated a bursary scheme for early childhood educators to provide support for speech screening, aiming to improve detection in underserved areas. Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) has launched with a complete resource guide for school-based pathologists published in June 2025, encouraging the use of evidence-based practices in the face of increasing caseloads, and boosting the speech and language disorder market growth. Therefore, the above-mentioned factors support the growth of the global speech and language disorder market.
