It is estimated that in 2017, there were 1.7 billion prevalent cases of insomnia worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 1.9 billion prevalent cases by 2026.

The majority of marketed drugs are administered via the oral route, with the remainder being available in sublingual, oral transmucosal, or intravenous formulations.
The largest proportion of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for insomnia are in Phase III, with only one drug in the NDA/BLA phase.
Therapies in mid-to-late-stage development for insomnia focus on targets such as melatonin receptor, hypocretin/orexin receptor, GABA-A receptor, GABA receptors, histamine H1 receptor, serotonin 5-HT1 receptor, and serotonin 5-HT2B receptor.
