Sleep Apnea Treatment Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Device Type (Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices, Oral Appliances, Masks & Accessories, and Others), By End User (Sleep Laboratories & Clinics, and Homecare & Other Settings), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026.
A study published in the medical journal Lancet in 2019 found that nearly 1 billion people worldwide suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Regionally, too, the statistics conform to the global trends. For instance, the European Respiratory Society estimates that 13% to 32% of the geriatric population in Europe suffer from sleep apnea. As a result, the demand for sleep apnea treatment is escalating and driving the sleep apnea treatment devices market trends. Furthermore, the incidence of OSA is spiking owing to the rising prevalence of obesity, the most common cause for interrupted sleep, which according to the World Health Organization, presently affects close to 650 million adults worldwide.
Discomfort Caused by CPAP Masks to Stall Market Growth
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a highly recommended therapy for sleep apnea patients. It involves a machine that uses mild air pressure to keep airways open, helping an apneic person get sound sleep. However, despite its popularity, CPAP entails certain disadvantages that are likely to negatively affect the sleep apnea treatment devices market growth. For example, CPAP machines are infamous for causing discomfort as patients find it difficult to sleep in specific positions so as to not to displace the mask on their face. Moreover, the mask can also lead to a runny nose or cause nasal congestion. The biggest hindrance for this market, however, is the high cost associated with CPAP devices, especially in emerging economies. The challenge is humungous as insurance coverage in these countries is poor and limited and reimbursement policies are unfavorable for patients, hampering the adoption of this treatment method.
Availability of Advanced Treatment Options to Propel the Market in North America
With a market size of USD 2.35 billion in 2018, North America is poised to dominate the sleep apnea treatment devices market share during the forecast period. The key factors augmenting this regional market include wide availability and high adoption of advanced products, along with growing prevalence of sleep disorders among the populace. In addition to this, supportive health insurance and reimbursement policies are further fueling the uptake of these devices in the region.
In Asia-Pacific, the major driving force for the market is the rising demand for sleep apnea therapies in Japan and the presence of a large, underpenetrated market in the rest of the region. These factors are expected to aid Asia-Pacific to register a considerable CAGR in the upcoming years.
