Global Anxiety Disorders and Depression Treatment Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Anxiety Disorders & Depression Treatment Market Analysis

The Global Anxiety Disorders and Depression Treatment Market size is estimated at USD 21.51 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 27.87 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.32% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted the growth due to the increased number of cases of anxiety and depression during the pandemic period. For instance, a WHO report published in March 2022 stated that in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25% in 2021. Additionally, the Springer Journal article published in October 2021 estimated an additional 53.2 million cases of major depressive disorders globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an additional 76.2 million cases of anxiety disorders in 2021. Thus, the increased anxiety and depression disorders due to the pandemic had a notable impact on the market's growth over the pandemic period. In addition, the demand is expected to remain intact due to the rising awareness among the global population regarding anxiety and depression, thereby increasing the market growth over the forecast period.

Factors such as the increasing prevalence of anxiety disorders and depression, increasing awareness levels, and product launches by key market players are expected to increase the market share. For instance, in September 2021, an article published by WHO stated that depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60. Approximately 280 million people in the world will have depression in 2021. Additionally, the TRV data published in 2022 mentioned that an estimated 264 million people globally experienced an anxiety disorder in 2021. Such an increasing prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide is expected to contribute to the market's growth.

On the other hand, increasing product approvals is another factor expected to drive the market's growth. For instance, in July 2021, Alembic Pharmaceuticals received final approval from the US FDA for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Desipramine Hydrochloride tablets USP, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg. The approved ANDA is therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug product (RLD), Norpramin Tablets, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg, of Validus Pharmaceuticals LLC. Desipramine Hydrochloride Tablets and USP are indicated for the treatment of depression.

However, the patent expiration of branded drugs will hinder the market's growth over the forecast period.
