An estimated 70 million Americans have insomnia, and 39 million suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mostly undiagnosed. As obesity rates remain high, this problem is not likely to dissipate any time soon. Therefore, there is ample room for future growth of CPAP devices and sleep studies, performed at home or in specialized clinics.
As obesity rates climb and Americans age, more people are developing sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome and other sleep disorders. Plus, stressors related to inflation and politics are resulting in more sleepless nights for Americans.
Sleep centers had to contend with the pandemic and a shift to less costly at-home tests and declining Medicare reimbursements, but are diversifying their services to add other income streams (such as CPAP fitting, oral appliance therapy, and behavioral sleep medicine).
