Due to the record-breaking heat waves in South Korea, leading to restless nights for local consumers, a notable proportion of the population is expected to continue to suffer from sleep disorders. Furthermore, in line with the public perception of “sleeping well” as one of the important components to achieving a healthy life, many consumers are willing to invest in a wider range of products, including sleep aids, to enjoy quality sleep.
Domestic player Kwang Dong Pharm is expected to continue to dominate sleep aids in value terms over the forecast period, with its brand Woo Hwang Chung Sim Won. This brand has a herbal/traditional positioning, benefiting from a strong consumer preference for herbal/traditional OTC sleep aids.
As consumers' interest in and spending on sleep increases, demand for sleep aids is expected to continue rising. Nevertheless, sales will be challenged by the rising trend for “sleeponomics”, which looks at ways to create good-quality sleep outside of the Rx and OTC sleep aids landscape.
