The restless leg syndrome market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.91 billion in 2024 to $2.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as rising alcohol consumption, expanded health insurance coverage, greater availability of over-the-counter medications, increased public health initiatives, and a rise in mental health concerns.
The restless leg syndrome market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as increased healthcare investment, awareness and education campaigns, a rise in early diagnoses, higher government funding, and greater participation in clinical trials. Key trends in the forecast period include AI-powered personalized treatment plans, next-generation neurostimulation devices, deep learning algorithms for diagnosis, brainwave modulation technology, and wearable exoskeletons designed to assist with leg movements.
The growing prevalence of iron deficiency is expected to drive the expansion of the restless leg syndrome (RLS) market. Iron deficiency is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient iron to produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. The rise in iron deficiency cases is attributed to factors such as poor dietary intake, blood loss, malabsorption disorders, and increased iron demands during pregnancy or growth. Treatment for restless leg syndrome often includes iron supplementation or dietary adjustments, which not only help alleviate the discomforting urges and sensations but also address the underlying iron deficiency by replenishing iron stores, improving red blood cell production, and restoring proper neurological function. For example, in January 2025, NHS England reported that in the 2023-24 period, there were 191,927 admissions due to iron deficiency, reflecting an 11% increase from the previous year. As a result, the rising prevalence of iron deficiency is fueling the growth of the RLS market.
Leading companies in the RLS market are focusing on developing innovative, non-invasive therapies to improve symptom management and patient outcomes. Non-invasive therapies are medical treatments that do not require surgery or skin penetration, offering relief through advanced techniques such as electrical stimulation, light therapy, or external devices. For example, in April 2023, Varco Leg Care, an India-based consumer health-technology company, received FDA De Novo approval for its NTX100 Tonic Motor Activation (TOMAC) System. This system is designed to treat moderate to severe RLS symptoms and improve sleep quality in patients who do not respond to medications. The device works by electrically activating the peroneal nerves on both sides of the body to produce tonic, sustained muscle activation, which aids in suppressing RLS symptoms while being compatible with sleep.
In October 2023, Amgen Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, acquired Horizon Therapeutics plc for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Amgen’s portfolio in rare and inflammatory diseases, drive revenue growth, and develop innovative treatments while improving patient access to medications. Horizon Therapeutics plc, an Ireland-based biotechnology company, is involved in the treatment of restless leg syndrome.
