Snoring is the sound of resistance and turbulence in the upper airway. When the muscles are most relaxed, they keep the upper airway open during REM sleep or dream sleep. As the airway narrows, air turbulence increases, causing the soft tissues in the back of the throat to vibrate. The increase in the number of elderly people in the Middle East and Africa, as well as lifestyle changes in the community, are key driving factors for the anti-snoring devices market to grow. The market's need is being fueled by rising demand for advanced technology and the introduction of innovative products. Furthermore, increasing device awareness through campaigns and digital advertisements is also boosting the market's growth rate. Rising disposable income in urban areas is driving market demand. Moreover, people in rural areas are less aware of these devices, which are slowly reducing market demand. The availability of other devices is also slowing the market's growth rate. Stringent rules and regulations imposed by government organizations in the approval of new products may also have a negative impact on the market's growth. Growing issues with the use of these devices are impeding market growth in this region.
According to the research report, "Middle East & Africa Anti Snoring Device Market Outlook, 2028", published by Bonafide Research, the Middle East & Africa Anti Snoring Device market is expected to add around USD 24 Million by 2028. According to the report, the Middle East & Africa market is segmented into three major countries, including the Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates. Among these, the Saudi Arabia leads the Middle East & Africa Anti-Snoring Device market. Saudi Arabia has a cultural preference for non-invasive treatment options, which makes anti-snoring devices particularly appealing. Furthermore, Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that is becoming more prevalent in Saudi Arabia, due in part to the country's high rates of obesity and diabetes. This is driving demand for anti-snoring devices that can help manage the condition and improve sleep quality. Moreover, the healthcare infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is improving, and as a result, more people have access to healthcare services and products like anti-snoring devices. This is driving demand as more people are able to seek out solutions for their snoring and sleep apnea.
There is a trend towards the introduction of innovative anti-snoring devices in the Middle East and Africa, such as wearable anti-snoring devices, such as snoring detection bracelets and smart rings, which are becoming increasingly popular in the region due to their ease of use and convenience. Furthermore, some local manufacturers in the region are developing smart pillows with sensors that can monitor snoring and adjust the pillow's position to help prevent snoring. Furthermore, mobile applications that monitor snoring, track sleep patterns, and provide feedback on how to improve sleep quality and reduce snoring are gaining popularity in the region due to the widespread use of smartphones. In addition, smart anti-snoring beds that use sensors to monitor snoring and adjust the bed's position to prevent snoring are emerging as a new category of anti-snoring devices in the region. These products are helping to improve the effectiveness and convenience of anti-snoring devices and are likely to drive growth in the market.
Based on product type, the market is segmented into mandibular advancement devices, nasal devices, position control devices, chin straps, EPAP/CPAP, and tongue stabilizing devices. Among them, In the Middle East & Africa market, MADs have the largest market share among the various types of anti-snoring and sleep apnea devices. This is due to their effectiveness, ease of use, and comfort for patients. MADs are typically custom-fitted to each patient's mouth by a dentist or sleep specialist. Furthermore, One advantage of MADs is that they are relatively non-invasive compared to other sleep apnea treatments, such as surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. MADs are also portable and easy to use, making them a convenient option for people who travel frequently. EPAP/CPAP is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing prevalence of sleep apnea in the region, as well as the growing awareness among patients and healthcare providers about the benefits of EPAP/CPAP therapy.
The market is divided into hospital, clinic, retail pharmacy, and e-commerce segments based on the distribution channel. Among them, Hospitals have the largest market share among the various types of anti-snoring and sleep apnea devices. Hospitals are the primary channel for the distribution of sleep apnea devices in Middle East & Africa, as they are the primary source of diagnosis and treatment for sleep-disordered breathing. Hospitals offer a range of diagnostic tests, including polysomnography, which is used to diagnose sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. After diagnosis, hospitals often prescribe and dispense anti-snoring and sleep apnea devices to patients. E-commerce is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. One of the main drivers of the growth in e-commerce for anti-snoring and sleep apnea devices is the increasing popularity of online shopping among consumers. Many consumers prefer the convenience and accessibility of online shopping, particularly for products that are often viewed as personal or sensitive, such as anti-snoring and sleep apnea devices.
There are several organizations and initiatives in the Middle East and Africa that conduct anti-snoring device camps or events to raise awareness about snoring and sleep apnea and to provide free or low-cost anti-snoring devices to those in need. Some of the organizations are The Sleep Medicine and Research Center in Egypt conducts regular events and workshops to raise awareness about sleep disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea. The center also provides diagnosis and treatment for these conditions, including prescribing anti-snoring devices. Furthermore, The Snore Centre in South Africa provides a range of services to help people with snoring and sleep apnea, including diagnosis, treatment, and the provision of anti-snoring devices. The center also conducts workshops and events to educate the public about these conditions. Moreover, the Anti-Snoring Society of South Africa is a non-profit organization that provides education and resources to help people manage snoring and sleep apnea. The organization conducts regular events and workshops to raise awareness about these conditions and provides free or low-cost anti-snoring devices to those in need. In addition, The Dubai Sleep Clinic in the United Arab Emirates provides diagnosis and treatment for a range of sleep disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea.

Restraints:
One of the major barriers to the use of anti-snoring devices in the Middle East and Africa is a lack of knowledge about snoring and sleep apnea. Many people in the region are unaware of these conditions and, even if they are available, may not seek out anti-snoring devices. Furthermore, cultural factors in the Middle East and Africa may limit the adoption of anti-snoring devices. Some people, for example, may be uncomfortable using devices such as chin straps or nasal dilators, or they may prefer to use traditional remedies. Furthermore, there has been little research into the effectiveness of anti-snoring devices in the Middle East and Africa. This can make it difficult for healthcare providers to make evidence-based recommendations to their patients, as well as for consumers to make informed choices about which devices to use.
