Sleep Tech Devices Market Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Sleep Disorders Driving Demand for Advanced Sleep Tech Devices 

• Based on SkyQuest’s in-depth analysis, the increase in demand for sleep tech devices is the rising prevalence of sleeping disorders across the global population that are served by wearable and non-wearable devices, as well as sleep tracking applications. Our analysis also reveals that the sleep disorders are gradually gaining traction as a global issue; with emphasis on the developed nations such as the United States of America. In addition, according to a survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) 30% of adults present symptoms of insomnia, a disease that involves; the difficulty of falling or staying asleep. Persisting insomnia, which lasts for months or years, is experienced by less than 10% of adults and it remains a sustained problem among the affected individuals. As result the increasing number of patients having sleep disorders directly increasing the need of these sleep tech devices. 

Technological Advancements in Sleep Tech Devices Significantly Drive Market 

• Our analysis reveals that another key driver that is responsible for the expansion of sleep tech devices market is technological evolution and the use of AI. Advancements in the sensory devices, data analysis, and artificial intelligence have expanded the options in sleep tracking and control. Popular sleep technology devices are fitted with advanced sensors that can measure different aspects of sleep such as heart rate, breathing cycles, and even body movements. The data is further processed by the AI algorithms to deliver the best sleep recommendations and suggestions for individual users which further enriches the user experience. The advancement of device accuracy and friendliness brings confidence to the consumers and hence they would use the devices. Also, the interconnectivity brought about by IoT (Internet of Things) makes the monitoring of sleep health a complete package since it interconnects devices.

Restraint  

High Cost of Advanced Sleep Tech Devices Could Hinder Market Growth 

• Our analysis reveals that one of the main restraints that is hindering the growth of the market is the steep price of sleep technology products. Advanced sleep tech products that are in the market such as smart mattress, sleep tracker, and sleep aiding devices are relatively expensive than other sleep commodities. They remain relatively expensive which inhibit their reach to more consumers mainly in the developing world where per capita income is relatively low. The price of a device and possibly additional subscription for applications or services related to this device may be too high for many potential users. This economic restraint inhibits market advancement since merely a portion of the high-income buyers will be capable of purchasing these innovations, thus slowing down market expansion and market saturation.  

Privacy Concerns & Data Security Issues 

• Another barrier to the market is the privacy concern & data security issues. Our study shows that privacy concerns and data security have emerged as critical challenges to the sleep tech devices. Since the devices gather personal data, such as sleeping hours, health data, and sometimes biometric data, consumers focus on their data privacy. Concerns regarding data privacy and scandals involving large organizations losing personal customer data have made consumers more sceptical. This uncertainty is especially widespread with devices that use constant data send to the cloud for analysis. Overall, this area of concern plays as major role hindering the sleep tech market because to achieve consumer trust, companies need to put in place proper security measures and data privacy policies that are clear on data collection and usage.
