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.

What goes into a Mintel Market Intelligence Report?
Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
The Four Pillars of Our Research
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
- Consumer Research: Direct surveys with real people, giving us clear, current insights into what people think and do.
- Desk Research: In-depth review of trusted data sources. We use this rich database, plus powerful internal tools that track new products and market sizes, to detect trends and guide forecasts.
- Trade Research: Insights from conversations with industry experts. Their real-world experience helps us understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
- Brand and Social Media Research: Analysis of online opinions and trends. This lets us spot trends, measure brand sentiment, and capture feedback in real time, adding further depth to our research.
Bringing It All Together
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.
Our expert analysts are skilled in weaving these diverse data streams together. They apply a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques to uncover the deeper story, connecting the dots to deliver clear, actionable insights. This comprehensive, multi-layered process is how we transform raw data into a market intelligence report you can trust to inform your most important business decisions.

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
