Zopiclone is a sedative-hypnotic medication used to treat insomnia. The market for zopiclone is driven by the increasing prevalence of insomnia and sleep disorders worldwide. Growing awareness about the side effects of zopiclone, including addiction and dependence, is expected to hamper market growth. The availability of alternative therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and non-pharmacological interventions is also a factor that may limit the growth of the zopiclone market. However, the development of new formulations with reduced side effects and improved efficacy, as well as increasing investment in research and development, are expected to create new opportunities in the market. The market is also influenced by government policies, regulations, and reimbursement policies for zopiclone and other sleep medications.
