The U.S. Sleep Disorders Treatment Market: Sleep Centers, Sleep Studies & CPAPs
Fully 70% of Americans are estimated to experience insomnia symptoms or sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea. There are now an estimated 4,500 “sleep labs” or “centers” in the United States, that perform sleep studies and design treatment programs for insomniacs and those with sleep apnea.
Sleep centers were hit hard by the pandemic as they shifted to less costly at-home tests and telemedicine. However, the CPAPs market has grown strongly.
As obesity rates climb and Americans age, more people are developing sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Plus, stressors related to inflation, politics, the pandemic and last recession are resulting in more sleepless nights for Americans.
