Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances Market Expected to Reach $2.3 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances Market," The sleep apnea oral appliances market size was valued at $516.42 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2,337.7 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2022 to 2031. Breathing repeatedly stops and starts while sleeping. This is known as sleep apnea. Age and obesity are two common risk factors for sleep apnea. In addition, men are more likely than women to experience this condition. Snoring loudly, feeling tired even after a full night's sleep, insomnia, sudden awakenings with shortness of breath, loud snoring, waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat, as well as headaches, attention problems, and irritability, are the main symptoms of sleep apnea.

Factors that drive the growth of the sleep apnea oral appliances market size include rise in geriatric population, increase in sleep apnea oral appliances industry and increase in the prevalence of sleep apnea. Moreover, rise in the prevalence of obesity and increase in number of product launch and product approval for sleep apnea oral appliances fuel the sleep apnea oral appliances market analysis. Geriatric population is more susceptible to sleep apnea. Rise in geriatric population, thus increases the demand for sleep apnea oral appliances products and boosts the sleep apnea oral appliances market trends. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in October 2021, by 2030, 1 in 6 population in the world is anticipated to be aged 60 years or over. Moreover, obesity is the leading cause of sleep apnea, thus, rise in the prevalence of obesity is anticipated to fuel the demand for sleep apnea oral appliances which drives the market. For instance, according to World Obesity Atlas 2022, estimated number of female population with more than 30 BMI (Body Mass Index) is 586 million globally. As per the same source estimated number of male populations with more than 30 BMI (Body Mass Index) is 434 million globally.

In addition, rise in the prevalence of sleep apnea over the globe increases the demand for sleep apnea oral appliances products. Thus, this factor boosts the growth of the market. According to data shared by SomnoMed, the largest supplier of oral sleep apnea devices of the world, approximately 900 million people suffer from sleep apnea among which, around 511 million population suffer from mild sleep apnea, and 425 million people suffer from moderate sleep apnea.

On the basis of device, the market is segmented into mandibular advancement devices, tongue-stabilizing devices and rapid maxillary expansion. The mandibular advancement devices segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the sleep apnea oral appliances market forecast period, owing to increase in the product launch and product approval for mandibular advancement devices and rise in the prevalence of sleep apnea.

On the basis of gender, the market is bifurcated into male and female. The male segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to unhealthy life style and rise in the prevalence of obesity in male population.

On the basis of age group, the market is classified less than 40, 41 to 50, 51 to 60, and 61 and above. The 51 to 60  segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, as geriatric population is more susceptible to sleep apnea.

On the basis of end user, the market is divided into hospital & sleep laboratories, clinics & office facilities and home care settings. The hospital & sleep laboratories segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to rise in the number of hospital & sleep laboratories and rise in the expenditure by government to develop healthcare infrastructure.

North America accounted for a majority of the global sleep apnea oral appliances market share in 2021, and is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in the prevalence of sleep apnea, increase in number of sleep apnea oral appliances industry and developed healthcare infrastructure. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth, owing to rise in expenditure by government organization to develop healthcare sector, increase in awareness among people regarding sleep apnea and rise in geriatric population.   

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the global sleep apnea oral appliances market share. Obstructive sleep apnea are more vulnerable to hospitalization in COVID-19 infection patients. Theincreasing prevelence of obstructive sleep apnea will increase demand for sleep apnea devices and propel the growth of the market.
