Saudi Arabia Eyes Sleep Tech Boom

Saudi Arabia is waking up to the importance of sleep health as the next frontier of wellness under Vision 2030. With one of the shortest average sleep durations globally, the Kingdom presents a ripe opportunity for innovation.

In 2024, Saudis averaged 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night—ranking third lowest worldwide. But where others see a problem, Saudi Arabia sees potential. Leading firms like Eight Sleep are entering the market with smart technologies that personalize rest, optimize temperature, and monitor recovery.

With over 100 of their Pods already in use and a waitlist of more than 500, Eight Sleep views the Kingdom as a long-term growth hub—second only to the US.

Beyond product launches, sleep is being integrated into the national wellness narrative. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 Quality of Life performance indicators show real progress: a life expectancy of 78.8 years and a stable happiness index of 6.6. These indicators underscore fertile ground for sleep innovation to flourish.
