Global Sleep Apnea Market - Segmented by Diagnostic Devices, by Therapeutic Devices, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The sleep apnea market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. North America dominates the global market due to the high incidence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) in the USA.

Increasing Incidence of Sleep Apnea

It has been observed that one in every five adults have mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and one in fifteen adults have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It has also been detected that 9% of middle-aged women and 25% of middle-aged men suffer from OSA, while 75% of severe sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) cases remain undiagnosed. The number of OSA patients is increasing with the aging population and growing levels of obesity. The prevalence of OSA is approximately 3% to 7% in adult men and 2% to 5% in adult women, in the general population. Additionally, up to 50% of the adult population are snorers, which is an indicator of the presence of OSA and a significant social problem. Thus, increasing incidence of the sleep apnea is fuelling the growth of the sleep apnea devices market.
Additionally, increasing awareness among the patient population in developing countries, favorable government initiatives, and upcoming technological advancements, are also driving the sleep apnea devices market.

High Cost of Devices

A sleep apnea diagnosis is usually based on sleep history and the results of a polysomnogram, an overnight sleep study that typically costs about $1,000-$3,000. The healthcare cost and utilization project put the average cost of operations on the nose, throat or mouth, at USD 10,219. Thus, high cost of these sleep devices is hindering the growth of the global sleep apnea devices market.
Additionally, availability of alternate methods for sleep apnea, is also restraining the growth of the global sleep apnea device market.

Europe Expected to Grow at High CAGR

North America dominates the global market due to the high incidence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in the United States. The European region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to the use of noninvasive and painless cardiorespiratory monitors that are used to assess the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood.
