The rising prevalence of chronic diseases creates a demand for effective insomnia treatments and management strategies, contributing to the growth of the market. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in January 2023, the global number of people with chronic diseases is projected to reach 142.66 million by 2050, up from 71.522 million in 2020.
