Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances Market

Global Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global sleep apnea oral appliances market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 19.40% from 2023 to 2028 and be worth USD 645.5 million by 2028 from USD 266 million in 2023.

Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder in which an individual's breathing stops and starts repeatedly. Insomnia, difficulty going asleep (insomnia), abrupt awakenings with shortness of breath, loud snoring, and waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat, as well as headaches, attention issues, and irritability. Sleep apnea is the most frequent disorder among the elderly, and it often goes undetected due to a lack of awareness and incorrect diagnosis. Oral appliances are becoming more popular in managing sleep apnea, and technological developments in oral appliances are accelerating market expansion.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The availability of improved oral appliances, lack of accurate diagnosis of sleep apnea, and increased popularity of sleep apnea oral appliances over traditional approaches are expected to drive the global sleep apnea oral appliances market growth.

One of the other primary factors driving the growth of the sleep apnea oral appliances market is the rising prevalence of sleep apnea among the global population. Undiagnosed sleep apnea patients, rising public and clinical awareness of sleep apnea due to increased public and private sector actions, considerable venture capital funding in the sleep apnea market, growing use of oral appliances, and technological advancements are driving the sleep apnea market. Furthermore, increased focus on telemedicine and mHealth presents considerable potential for diagnostic and treatment equipment producers in the worldwide sleep apnea oral appliances market.

During the forecast period, poor PAP device compliance and rising demand for home healthcare are likely to provide growth opportunities. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a type of sleep apnea most commonly treated with positive airway pressure (PAP). During sleep, this device employs pressured air to keep the airway open. The sleep apnea oral appliances market benefits from improved healthcare infrastructure, a hectic lifestyle that causes stress, and increased healthcare spending. The key contributing factors driving the growth of this market are the growing popularity of oral appliances in sleep apnea management, technological advancements in dental appliances, a large pool of undiagnosed sleep apnea patients, and increasing awareness about sleep apnea in everyone.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The expensive cost of personalized oral appliances and poor reimbursement policies for oral appliance therapy are projected to hamper market expansion. In addition, the presence of strict regulatory restrictions for oral appliance therapy is projected to provide a challenge to the sleep apnea oral appliances market during the forecast period. The expansion of the global sleep apnea oral appliances market is further estimated to be hindered by issues associated with their referral processes and restricted access to sleep centers.
