As one of the most common sleep-related ailments, sleep apnea is a major cause for increasingly disrupted or shorter sleep cycles among the U.S. population. Estimates from the CDC suggest that nearly 35.2% of the adult population in the United States has reported an average sleep cycle of less than seven hours each night, leading to a transformation in sleep apnea devices market outlook in the U.S.
Among the two major types of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea is the most prevalent in the United States, affecting nearly 30 million adults. However, given that most common symptoms associated with sleep apnea; pauses in breathing, snoring or gasping for air, occur during sleep, most patients are unaware of these symptoms, and are thus left undiagnosed and untreated. This can prove detrimental in the long run, as untreated sleep apnea can lead to several other comorbid ailments like stroke, depression, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, among others.
In order to address these challenges, the persistent development and usage of advanced sleep apnea devices and therapies is a key solution, one that developed markets like the United States have been proactively incorporating. Estimates from a study conducted by Global Market Insights, Inc. suggest that the U.S. is a leading North American sleep apnea devices market, having accounted for a revenue share of over 91% in 2020.
Obesity among long-haul truckers to increase sleep apnea prevalence in US
Sleep apnea, known for being underdiagnosed among the general population, is even more so among long-haul truck drivers. According to a study conducted by VTTI (Virginia Tech Transportation Institute), almost 47% of truck drivers are considered high-risk for sleep apnea, mainly due to neck size or weight. According to the NCBI, obesity is a root cause of the narrowing of the airway, with research showing that even a 10% rise in weight can increase OSA risk by nearly six-fold.
Underdiagnosis of sleep apnea presents an even higher risk among the driver population in the U.S., according to the American Sleep Apnea Association, as prolonged periods without treatment can lead to headaches, daytime fatigue, memory problems and difficulty in focusing on roads. Since truck drivers inherently handle heavy vehicles and equipment, these issues can be extremely detrimental, both in terms of driver health as well as economic burden.
In order to mitigate these risks, sleep physicians are refocusing their approach towards the diagnosis and screening of sleep apnea among truckers, to the benefit of the sleep apnea devices industry. Physicians are increasingly prescribing the use of home sleep apnea tests, that can be self-administered by patients. Modern sleep apnea testing solutions, like the WatchPAT® ONE, are giving long-haul truckers a suitable alternative to in-lab sleep studies, enabling them to diagnose and treat their sleep apnea on the go and revolutionizing the way sleep apnea treatment is administered.
U.S. intensifies its focus on countering the burden of sleep apnea
With sleep-related troubles and ailments like obstructive sleep apnea emerging as major health concerns in the region, several organizations and sleep apnea treatment device producers in the U.S. have started to implement initiatives and projects to address these concerns.
In June 2021, the sleep apnea devices business landscape suffered a significant setback, due to the mass recall of over 4 million sleep apnea devices and ventilators by Royal Philips NV, due to potential health risks. This recall created a massive impact on the sleep apnea patient population in the U.S., with over 38,000 patients left facing huge gaps in their sleep apnea treatment in North Texas alone. In order to counteract this, Sleep Dallas announced a new initiative in September 2021, with an aim to give patients access to personalized sleep apnea treatment device solutions and “no cost” consultations, to recover from the impact of the recall.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has also been a notable contributor to improved sleep apnea awareness, most recently with the awarding of a grant to the AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine). This move was indicative of the organization’s support towards the AASM’s efforts to improve recognition of OSA, with the help of a new awareness program implemented with the help of partners like the National Sleep Foundation and Alliance of Sleep Apnea Partners with a vested interest in sleep apnea therapy.
