Europe Sleep Aids Market

Europe Sleep Aids Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the European sleep aids market is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2029 and be worth USD 23.11 billion by 2029 from USD 16.87 billion in 2024.

The European sleep aids market is expected to be majorly driven by factors such as the increase in the prevalence of sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnias, and many more illnesses. As mentioned in the European Sleep Research Society, around 10% of the European population is suffering from insomnia. As mentioned in healtheuropa.com, an estimated 175 million people in Europe have obstructive sleep apnoea. Furthermore, sleeping disorders are majorly attributed to factors such as high-pressure workload, environmental changes, depression, anxiety disorders, and lack of a proper sleep cycle.

The growing geriatric population in Europe, limited research on regional sleep patterns, resistance to pharmaceutical interventions and lack of standardization in sleep disorder diagnosis are significantly contributing to the growth of the European sleep aids market. In addition, rising awareness among people about increasing sleep disorders' effects increases the demand for sleep aids as these pills help reset the sleep schedule. Furthermore, increasing investments from government and non-government organizations in research and development activities for manufacturing innovative and effective treatments and drugs are encouraging the growth of sleep aids in the European market.

The growing number of initiatives by the government and private organizations to develop required medical infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and services are positively accelerating the growth rate of the European sleep aids market. On the other hand, the rising preferences towards over-the-counter drugs are propelling the market growth. In addition, the increasing technological advancements for developing various new techniques and diagnosing devices for treating sleep aids and the increasing adoption rates for newly launched therapeutics and devices are also boosting the sleep aids market growth in this region. 

However, side effects and complications associated with sleep aids are expected to restrict the growth of the sleep aids market in the European region during the forecast period. In addition, the people's lack of awareness and knowledge about the dosage forms and strict government rules and regulations with the stringent approval processes for approving drugs and devices are hampering the market growth of sleep aids.
