Sleep Aids Market: Overview

The market size for sleep aids was USD 73.2 billion in 2021, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7 percent during the forecast period. In order to monitor, diagnose, and treat sleep disturbances and disorders, sleeping aid products are used in the form of medicines and medical devices. It causes irregular breathing and abnormal sleeping behavior when sleep disorders affect the quality, timing, and amount of sleep. Excessively sleepy during the day, irregular breathing, or increased movement during sleep are some of the signs and symptoms of sleep disorders. A sleep disorder can negatively affect a person's health in many ways. For instance, people with sleep disorders can suffer from cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes. The growing adoption of sleep aid products in developing economies is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market to grow. However, various sleeping aids can also help treat sleep disorders.

A rise in disposable income and the benefits of using sleep aids drive the market's growth. Furthermore, the aging and obese populations have resulted in more cases of sleep disorders, which will also boost the market growth of patients with sleep disorders. For instance, there were 703 million persons aged 65 years or over in the world in 2019. The number of older persons is projected to double to 1.5 billion in 2050. Despite this, sleep aid medication has side effects that are harmful to human health, and the patents for these medications are on the verge of expiring. During the forecast period, sleep aid products are expected to evolve and become more widely adopted, and the untapped market in developing economies will offer lucrative opportunities.

Major players in the sleep aid market are focusing on acquisitions, product development, and product launches to boost their growth prospects. Sleep aid manufacturers invest heavily in research and development to meet the demands of a specific patient demographic. Market players are also focusing on expanding the geographical reach of existing and new products. For instance, in December 2019, Eisai Co., Ltd. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved DAYVIGOTM (lemborexant), an in-house developed and discovered orexin receptor antagonist. DAYVIGO was approved to treat insomnia in adults with difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep. A genetic insights-based approach to developing novel medicines was announced in July 2018 by GSK and 23andMe. Further, The DreamStation Go, Koninklijke Philips' newest and smallest positive airway pressure (PAP) device, was launched in April 2017 and designed to simplify travel for patients with sleep apnea.

Sleep Aids Market: COVID-19 Impact

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the trade of many products, including sleeping aids, was reduced. This affected the market by reducing sleep aid demand. Aside from this, the disruption of monthly incomes of individuals and the closure of manufacturing facilities to protect workers in all regions resulted in a drop in the production of sleeping aid solutions. People feared the infection during a period of distancing and lockdown due to constraints in handling capacity at ports and widespread financial distress. These factors also disrupted product supply. In general, COVID-19 had a negative impact on the sleep aids market. This was attributed to a decrease in demand for sleep aids. Due to the closure of manufacturing facilities throughout the country to protect workers, market players have reduced their investment in raw materials and resources.

Sleep Aids Market: Drivers

Government Funding and Product Approval to Drive Market Growth

Many factors drive growth in sleep aid suppliers, including lifestyle changes, rising affluence, improved healthcare access, and demand for quality healthcare. Manufacturers of sleep aid treatment products can gain market share by acquiring product approvals and government funding for better treatment options and sleep apnea testing. For instance, according to Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, the guidelines for releasing new OSA masks in the U.S. were upgraded in October 2019. As of May 2019, Merck's BELSOMRA (suvorexant) C-IV met primary efficacy endpoints in a phase-3 study assessing its efficacy in treating insomnia in Alzheimer's patients with mild-to-moderate dementia. In addition, NextWave Pharmaceuticals (NextWave), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc, was acquired by Tris Pharma in September 2018. The acquisition increased Tris' product offering for ADHD treatment. All these approvals and developments are expected to boost the demand for sleep aids in the market.

Rising Incidences of Sleep Apnea Driving Market Growth

There has been notable growth in the global sleep aid market due to the high incidence of insomnia and sleep apnea and the development of new types of sleep aids. In recent years, sleep-inducing mattresses and pillows have gained popularity worldwide, positively impacting the global market for sleeping aids. Sleep aids can also be used to control and treat narcolepsy, a rare disorder that can be controlled and treated with the aid of sleep aids. Meanwhile, sleepwalking and restless leg syndrome are also generating significant revenues for the global sleep aid industry. The global sleep aid market is expected to grow rapidly in the next decade.

Sleep Aids Market: Restraints

Introduction of New Technologies and Side Effects to Hamper Market Growth

The introduction of new technologies has raised concerns about the complexity of sleep disorder treatment. Slower market growth can also be attributed to improper documentation and licensing for sleeping pills and insufficient equipment standards for sleep devices. Drugs are available to treat insomnia and narcolepsy on the market, but they are very risky due to their side effects. A common side effect of sleep aids is headache, prolonged drowsiness, memory and performance problems, and allergic reactions. OTC and prescription-based sleep aids are associated with these side effects, which hinder market growth in some ways. Due to top-tier companies' dominance, small manufacturers of sleeping aids are losing domestic market share. Such limitations have hindered product adoption, which in turn has restricted the market growth.

Further, Merck's BELSOMRA C-IV achieved the primary endpoint in its phase 3 study for the treatment of insomnia in patients with mild to moderate dementia and Alzheimer's in May 2019.

Our Research Methodology

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast.

To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
