New Market Report: Sleep Aids in the United Kingdom

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Sun Dec 20 2015


Many areas of OTC are struggling due to consumers' concerns over the long-term health impact of chronic use and shift in focus from symptomatic relief to addressing underlying health conditions via lifestyle changes. In contrast, sleep aids are benefiting from consumers' concerns over the side effects associated with Rx sleep aids, with many consumers thus preferring to use gentler OTC products. Consequently, sleep aids was the second fastest growth area in OTC in 2015 over the previous year, ranking behind only emergency contraception.

Competitive Landscape

Omega Pharma is the clear leader in sleep aids and also saw the strongest gain in value share in 2015 over the previous year, gaining almost a percentage point to account for 42% share. The company benefits from its well-established Nytol range, which enjoys strong consumer trust. This range not only offers the One-a-night variant for those seeking convenience but also a Herbal variant for those that prefer more natural remedies.

Industry Prospects

Sleep aids is expected to continue to benefit from the rising incidence of insomnia and many consumers' mistrust of Rx sleep aids in the forecast period. Insomnia is expected to become an increasing problem for many consumers, partly due to an ageing population but chiefly due to the growing use of smartphones and tablets at night. Social media remains widely popular in the UK, with a growing number of consumers checking Facebook or Twitter feeds before bed or even during the night. Many of these consumers are meanwhile likely to seek OTC rather than Rx remedies for insomnia, due to concerns over the side effects associated with the latter.
