In addition to its role in sleep disorders, melatonin is also used for muscle protection and women's health.

Government rules and regulations are the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. Melatonin, a naturally occurring biogenic amine, plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. However, its use as an insomnia medicine has been a subject of debate in the medical field due to its limited efficacy and low-quality evidence.

Despite its widespread use, melatonin is not a prescription or over-the-counter drug but a dietary supplement in the US, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) does not routinely fund melatonin prescriptions for jet lag or insomnia treatment. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
