Impact of COVID-19 on the global sleep apnea oral appliances market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised some arguments about the use of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) (OSA). Although it has long been recognized that PAP can aerosolize respiratory droplets and distribute them around the room during the night, it took the current Pandemic to bring attention to the medical implications of this; the risk of infecting others with COVID-19. Medical supplies are in more demand because of the afflicted population. Respiratory support equipment, such as an atomizer, a life-support machine, an oxygen generator, and a monitor, are among the most regularly utilized medical devices in primary clinical care. With the increasing number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, the demand for medical supplies from both healthcare professionals and the general public is growing. Manufacturers of these products have an opportunity to profit from the increased demand for medical supplies by ensuring a steady supply of personal protective equipment on the market. COVID-19 is predicted to have a substantial impact on the sleep apnea oral appliances market due to these factors during the forecast period.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The availability of improved oral appliances, lack of accurate diagnosis of sleep apnea, and increased popularity of sleep apnea oral appliances over traditional approaches are expected to drive the global sleep apnea oral appliances market growth.

One of the other primary factors driving the growth of the sleep apnea oral appliances market is the rising prevalence of sleep apnea among the global population. Undiagnosed sleep apnea patients, rising public and clinical awareness of sleep apnea due to increased public and private sector actions, considerable venture capital funding in the sleep apnea market, growing use of oral appliances, and technological advancements are driving the sleep apnea market. Furthermore, increased focus on telemedicine and mHealth presents considerable potential for diagnostic and treatment equipment producers in the worldwide sleep apnea oral appliances market.

During the forecast period, poor PAP device compliance and rising demand for home healthcare are likely to provide growth opportunities. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a type of sleep apnea most commonly treated with positive airway pressure (PAP). During sleep, this device employs pressured air to keep the airway open. The sleep apnea oral appliances market benefits from improved healthcare infrastructure, a hectic lifestyle that causes stress, and increased healthcare spending. The key contributing factors driving the growth of this market are the growing popularity of oral appliances in sleep apnea management, technological advancements in dental appliances, a large pool of undiagnosed sleep apnea patients, and increasing awareness about sleep apnea in everyone.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The expensive cost of personalized oral appliances and poor reimbursement policies for oral appliance therapy are projected to hamper market expansion. In addition, the presence of strict regulatory restrictions for oral appliance therapy is projected to provide a challenge to the sleep apnea oral appliances market during the forecast period. The expansion of the global sleep apnea oral appliances market is further estimated to be hindered by issues associated with their referral processes and restricted access to sleep centers.
