Popularity of Tech-based Mental Health Apps also Contributing to Low Sales

The study finds that demand for depression drugs is also witnessing a decline as end-users have more coping options at their disposal. The huge popularity of mental health apps, such as Headspace, Calm, Moodnotes, Pacifica, and SuperBetter has given patients more control over how they manage depression. Considering the growing body of research supporting the use of meditation and cognitive behavior therapy, the proliferation of tech apps has witnessed a spike in the recent years. The study finds that depression drugs market will continue to be influenced by these evolutions.

Depression Drugs Market to Remain Concentrated in Developed Nations

North America and Europe are the two largest depression drugs market globally, owing to concentration of leading market players and increase in R&D of these drugs. While there has been a rising burden of mental illness such as bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia in China and India, lack of wide-ranging awareness regarding antidepressant medications (ADMs) is expected to negatively affect the growth of depression drugs market in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, different therapies of depression are as efficacious as ADM and their effects are more enduring, which may create a hindrance in future expansion of depression drugs market, especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa.
