Sleep Apnea Devices Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027

The global sleep apnea devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.07% during 2022-2027.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The growing sleep apnea devices market is attributed to factors such as the high prevalence of sleep apnea, increasing potential risk factors, technological advancements in sleep apnea devices, and an increasingly aging population. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is particularly prevalent in adults with mild to moderate severity (14% in men and 5% in women) and is becoming more common, partly due to the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide. The global prevalence of OSA is estimated at 1 billion people, and in some countries, the prevalence in the general population is estimated to exceed 50%.

In developed regions such as North America and Europe, sleep apnea devices are already widely held for OSA. The sleep apnea devices market in these regions is witnessing the entry of many new players and start-ups, promising to provide different products that meet customer demand and market trends. The current trend is smart sleep apnea devices, which are being explored by existing and new players in the market.

The increasing prevalence of obesity and other lifestyle diseases in both developed and developing countries and the rising rate of diagnosis of sleep apnea is presenting a larger patient demographic which requires treatment or management of sleep apnea. This, combined with the increasing number of sleep physicians, technicians, and sleep clinics globally, is facilitating the global sleep apnea devices market's growth.

MARKET TRENDS & OPPORTUNITIES

The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Apnea Treatment

• The convergence of large data sets, increased computing power, and algorithm advances have opened the door to Artificial intelligence (AI) applications across various industries.
• AHI is only a consideration, and the ability to predict side effects and response to treatment is limited. AI offers the opportunity to consider more factors than AHI. AHI provides more information about the severity and OSA endophenotype and can influence treatment choices.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) will pave the way for screening and diagnosing OSA, reduce costly PSG deployment, and streamline the path to effective treatment in the sleep apnea devices market.

Growing Demand and Advancements in Home Sleep Apnea Tests (HSATs)

• In December 2007, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) task force published guidelines for the use of unattended wearable monitors (PM) for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. In March 2017, considering recent technological advances in the sleep apnea devices market, the AASM revised its guidelines to include home sleep testing (HST) measuring peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), oximetry, and actigraphy in obstructive sleep.
• Itamar Medical, a leading player in the sleep apnea diagnostics market, offers WatchPat, the market-leading sleep apnea diagnostic device that uses this proprietary PAT technology.
• ResMed launches a three-part "Onesleeptest" service for NightOwl after acquiring the device’s manufacturer Ectosense. The onesleeptest device accurately tracks and delivers results from a certified sleep specialist within 3-5 business days, making it the ideal solution for testing sleep quality from the comfort and safety of their own home during the pandemic.

Technological Advancements in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy

• CPAP has changed significantly since its inception in 1981. Devices developed decades ago were heavier, noisier, and had limited performance compared to today's slim, lightweight devices.
• An outstanding innovation is the Automatic Airway Pressure Device (AutoPAP); with AutoPAP, airway pressure begins with light to meet lower pressure needs. When a patient falls asleep, the device automatically adjusts to increase positive airway pressure and keep the respiratory system open. Some CPAP machines in the sleep apnea devices market have the intellectual ability to record the mask on time when the patient breathes into the mask, when the air supply is started and when the mask is removed, and the air stops.
• Another notable feature of CPAP today is its low noise level. In addition to size and weight, the CPAP machine's ability to deliver 20 cm H2O-filtered air to patients with a slight humping is just as refreshing for doctors, patients, and bed partners. The days of sleeping next to mechanically generated hurricanes are over; thanks to a lightweight blower, it is well insulated with CPAP machines.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

PRODUCTS INSIGHTS

The therapeutic devices segment accounts for the highest share of 73.98% in the global sleep apnea devices market by products segment. The therapeutics device segment comprises positive airway pressure (PAP) devices, oral appliances, adaptive servo-ventilators, implants, airway clearance systems, oxygen therapy devices, & accessories. The prevalence of OSA is increasing significantly in developed and developing countries. The prevalence of OSA is rising due to the exponentially growing potential risk factors such as obesity, the aging population, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, etc. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is a common term used for all sleep apnea treatments that use compressed air flow to support the airways during sleep. The PAP machines continuously witness technological advancements; for instance, these devices combine the variable positive air pressure (VPAP), a relatively new technology, with the automatic adjustments of classic BiPAP therapy's dual-level pressure settings.

The global sleep apnea devices market by facial interfaces was valued at USD 916.7 million in 2021. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks and headgear are available in various styles and sizes to help treat sleep apnea. Because everyone's needs, preferences, and face shapes are different, patients may need to try different mask styles before finding the one that works best for them. A mask is used to direct air through the therapy device. Most masks have built-in vents to expel exhaled air.
