The growing geriatric population is expected to propel the growth of the nocturnal leg cramps treatment market going forward. The geriatric population refers to individuals who are typically aged 65 years and older. This population is increasing as life expectancy rises, driven by improved healthcare, better nutrition, enhanced sanitation, and medical advancements. Nocturnal leg cramp treatment helps the geriatric population by reducing pain, improving sleep quality, and enhancing mobility, all of which are essential for maintaining overall health and independence in older adults. For instance, in January 2024, according to the report published by the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, in 2022, the population of individuals aged 90 and over in England and Wales reached a record high of 550,835, marking a 2.1% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, the growing geriatric population is driving growth in the nocturnal leg cramps treatment market.

The rise in sedentary lifestyles is expected to propel the growth of the nocturnal leg cramps treatment market going forward. A sedentary lifestyle refers to a way of living that involves little to no physical activity, typically characterized by prolonged periods of sitting or lying down, with minimal movement or exercise. The increase in sedentary habits due to greater screen time - driven by the widespread use of smartphones, computers, and televisions for work, entertainment, and communication - encourages prolonged sitting and reduces physical activity. Nocturnal leg cramp treatment supports individuals with sedentary lifestyles by relieving painful muscle spasms that often occur at night, which may be aggravated by prolonged inactivity, and encouraging improved muscle health, mobility, and sleep quality. These benefits can help motivate individuals to engage in more regular physical activity. For instance, in June 2024, according to a report published by the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, 31% of adults worldwide, or about 1.8 billion people, did not meet recommended physical activity levels in 2022, with inactivity rates projected to rise to 35% by 2030 if the trend continues. Therefore, the rise in sedentary lifestyles is driving growth in the nocturnal leg cramps treatment market.
