Market Dynamics 

North America region holds the largest market share of the global sleep apnea devices market

The global sleep apnea devices market growth is driven by the increasing incidences of sleep apnea, a rise in the aged population, a surge in the occurrence of obesity and hypertension, and rising cognizance among the patient population in emerging economies.

Ongoing technological advancements are expected to drive the growth in the forecast period

The development of new technologies for the treatment and diagnosis of the disease is driving the market growth. Moreover, new alternatives to CPAP equipment such as nasal and oral equipment are developed for patients with low CPAP tolerance. For instance, In February 2021, GoPAPFree, a homecare oral devices manufacturer for OSA, launched O2 Vent Optima to serve as an effective and more convenient CPAP alternative. This device increases sleep apnea therapy response by 40.0%. In February 2020, Fisher and Paykel launched F&P Evora with CapFit headgear, a compact nasal mask for treating sleep apnea. The company launched this product in the markets of New Zealand, Europe, Australia, and Canada.

For instance, in 2019, ResMed launched AirFit N30i, its first top-of-head-connected nasal CPAP mask, across the U.S. with a newly designed nasal cradle cushion that sits just under the wearer’s nose. The trend is shifting towards mHealth apps for remote monitoring of sleep, enhancement of patient outcomes, and real-time screening of patient data. Detection of symptoms of sleep apnea is done by the built-in sensor technology available in smartphones. These factors are driving the market growth in the forecast period.

The high cost of CPAP machines is likely to hamper the market growth

For instance, a machine with a heated humidifier costs more than a machine without one. CPAP air filters can cost anywhere from $5 to $30 each, depending on the type of machine. Headgear and mask set generally cost $100 r more. Smaller pieces that need replacing more often, such as mask cushions, range from $20 to $100. The medical visits to multiple locations, the inconvenient and high cost of diagnosis, and therapy create a huge hurdle for patients. These factors will hamper the market in the forecast period.
