The growth trajectory of the sleeping aids market is expected to be significantly influenced by the increasing incidence of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders, stemming from insufficient sleep, have substantial implications for overall health. Sleeping aids play a crucial role as medications, not only in mitigating cognitive impairment resulting from sleep deprivation but also in promoting short-term improvements in sleep quality. Notably, as of January 2022, data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information reveals the prevalence of sleep problems in diverse populations, with rates projected at 52.39% for COVID-19 patients, 45.96% for children and adolescents, 42.47% for healthcare workers, 41.50% for special populations with healthcare needs, 41.16% for university students, and 36.73% for the general population. This observed rise in sleep disorders underscores the increasing demand for sleeping aids, positioning them as essential solutions.
The rising global aging population is anticipated to drive the growth of the sleeping aid market in the coming years. An aging population refers to changes in a demographic's age distribution that result in a larger proportion of elderly individuals. As people age, various age-related factors can lead to sleep disorders and disturbances, heightening the demand for sleep-related solutions. For example, in May 2024, the Administration for Community Living, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that in 2022, 17.3% of the population was aged 65 or older, with projections indicating that this figure will rise to 22% by 2040. Thus, the growing global aging population is a significant driver of the sleeping aid market.
A notable trend in the sleeping aids market is the emphasis on product innovations by major market players. The development of new products, including wearable sleep aids, serves as a strategic approach for market players to maintain their competitive edge. In March 2022, StimScience, a US-based company specializing in sleeping aids, introduced Somnee, a wearable sleep aid. This innovative product stands out as the first electronic sleep aid headband featuring personalized non-invasive brain stimulation. Results from a 1,500-night home pilot study indicate a remarkable improvement in sleep quality and a reduction of over one-third in overnight tossing and turning. This exemplifies the industry's commitment to advancing solutions and meeting evolving consumer needs through innovative product offerings in the sleeping aids market.
Major players in the sleeping aids manufacturing sector are actively engaging in strategic collaborations with prominent manufacturing companies, a move aimed at fortifying their market positions.

The collaboration is designed to enhance Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) adherence support for patients with sleep apnea. By leveraging actionable data, durable medical equipment suppliers, and referring doctors will have the means to provide prompt and personalized support to patients facing challenges in adhering to their treatment plans. This strategic partnership exemplifies a concerted effort to optimize patient care through innovative collaborations within the sleeping aids market.
In August 2022, ResMed Inc., a prominent US-based company focused on the treatment of sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other respiratory conditions, executed the acquisition of Mementor for an undisclosed amount.

Mementor, a Germany-based consumer software developer specializing in sleep medicine, adds valuable capabilities to ResMed's portfolio, showcasing the company's dedication to expanding its offerings and staying at the forefront of advancements in sleep-related technologies.
