China Sleep Health Management Market Overview

Only younger respondents in the 25-39 age group report having not improved their sleep quality over the past three years. Perhaps as a result of poor sleep, younger people are more likely than other age groups to regard sleep as part of the ‘maintenance bible’, and to recognise the many health benefits of a good night’s sleep. This means that sleep health management products have a high overall health value for the younger population.

Currently, innovation in food & drink and healthcare products related to sleep aids is still not extensive, meaning that brands can fill the product gap in this space. For established players, stabilising products’ perceived value requires highlighting its technological advantages, which can retain loyal consumers in a future with fierce competition from new launches. For the bath/skincare/scented essential oils category, which often focuses on delivering ’emotional value’, brands in the sleep health management space need to highlight their technological advantages, and how these can provide real benefits for sleep health.

Even consumers without sleep problems still show a keen interest in enhancing their sleep. At the lifestyle level, home is the first step for consumers taking the initiative to maintain their sleep health. At the efficacy communication level, the health benefits for beauty, hair growth and exercise are also attractive to people who do not have sleep problems. This signals an opportunity for brands to expand their customer bases by deepening their exploration of home concepts, and emphasising that their products provide their desired benefits.

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.

Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
