Growth Drivers

• Increasing Concern for Sleep Deprivation Amongst the Rising Geriatric Population
  According to the World Bank, prevalence of geriatric population aged 65 and above around the world increased from 7.57% of total population in the year 2010 to 8.87% of total population in the year 2018.
  
  Sleep deprivation is one of the most common health issues observed throughout the years amongst the elderly population. Moreover, diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia often cause older adults to feel agitated, anxious or have disturbed sleep. Having a good night’s sleep helps to increase strength, lift mood and also increase the body’s ability to fight infection. Utilization of non-drug solutions, such as therapeutic weighted blankets, help seniors to relax and improve their sleep quality as the body feels the gentle pressure of the blanket and produces a chemical known as serotonin, which is considered as a natural mood stabilizer. The rising need to address the concern of sleep deprivation amongst the growing geriatric population is thereby anticipated to drive the growth of the global therapeutic weighted blankets market.
• Increasing Concern for ADHD Diseases Amongst Children
  According to a national 2016 parent survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that around 6.1 million children in the United States were diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) disease.
  
  Numerous kids suffering from ADHD struggle with self-regulation and also have the trouble to calm down. They also face the difficulties of managing their emotions, dealing with stress, coping with feelings of anger, overexcitement and several others. Many kids suffering from ADHD also have sensory issues and therefore seek for physical stimulation to calm down. As therapeutic weighted blankets are designed to relieve stress and also help to promote the production of the chemical serotonin, numerous parents use these blankets to help their kids cope up with the issue of ADHD, which is anticipated to bolster the growth of the global therapeutic weighted blankets market in the upcoming years.

Challenges

• High Price of Therapeutic Weighted Blankets
  The therapeutic weighted blankets are priced too high in comparison to other blanket types, which might impact the sales of the manufacturers. Such a factor is anticipated to hamper the growth of the global therapeutic weighted blankets market throughout the forecast period.
