Overview of the Sleep Aids Market in Germany

Amid multiple crises, Germans’ lifestyles and mental wellbeing is being uprooted putting a damper on sleep health in Germany while the sleep aids market size in Germany continues to grow with value sales reaching new highs.

According to Mintel’s Germany sleep health market research, financially struggling consumers are most affected by sleeping issues. Therefore, there will be significant demand for lower priced private label sleep aids in the short-term.

Germany Sleep Health Market Research: What Consumers Want and Why

• Sleep Aids in Germany and Consumer Behaviour: 64% of Germans face sleeping issues yet only 33% of them use sleep aids. Reasons for that are safety and health concerns, making Germans opt for sleep-enhancing lifestyle changes over medication to improve their sleep. Additionally, sleep aids are failing to convince German consumers of their efficacy. To address these concerns, brands need to invest in enhancing their efficacy and communicating successes.
• The Cost-of-Living Crisis and Sleep Aids in Germany: The cost-of-living crisis challenges Germans’ sleep with financial stress. 36% of adults say financial concerns often keep them up at night. Value sales of sleep aids are at an all-time high, but budgets remain stretched, with 55% of Germans putting off trying new health products because of rising prices.
• Sleep Aids Market Outlook: Germans’ health perception has declined between 2021 and 2023, which will prompt increased engagement with health products and services. Once inflation settles, Germans will aim to improve their health with better sleep and look for multi-functional botanical solutions that address health holistically. Sleep aids with additional benefits, such as improving digestion at night, are bound to succeed.

Sleep Aids Market Outlook

• Due to technology’s bad reputation regarding sleep quality, there is untapped potential for tech brands to reshape their image and demonstrate their value, e.g. by providing light-sensing technology, sleep environment analysis, and more.
