A recent study focused on the Chinese mainland population reveals that nearly 60 percent of those surveyed experience poor sleep quality. This widespread issue has catalyzed a booming sleep economy, which reached an impressive value of nearly 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) in 2023.
As sleep struggles persist, innovative solutions flood the market—from smart mattresses and sleep-tracking devices to relaxation apps and wellness retreats. Entrepreneurs and startups are capitalizing on this trend, offering products and services designed to enhance sleep quality and overall well-being.
Experts suggest that the increase in work-related stress, digital screen time, and urban lifestyles contribute significantly to the decline in sleep quality. In response, consumers are increasingly investing in their sleep, recognizing its critical role in health and productivity.
