Digital Therapeutics Market Report by Application (Diabetes, Obesity, CVD, CNS Disease, Respiratory Diseases, Smoking Cessation, and Others), End Use (Patients, Providers, Payers, Employers, and Others), and Region 2023-2028

The global digital therapeutics market size reached US$ 5.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 15.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1% during 2022-2028. The growing demand for digital behavior-monitoring treatment, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and rising awareness among the masses about personal health and fitness represent one of the key factors driving the market.

Increasing Usage of Smartphones and Tablets Propelling Market Growth

The rising reliance on smartphones and tablets, coupled with different healthcare apps, is propelling the growth of the digital therapeutics market. Smartphones and tablet-based healthcare apps have numerous advantages over the lower rate of medication errors, facilitating preventive care, and more accurate staffing. The increasing utilization of personal technological devices in healthcare is catalyzing the demand for digital therapeutics (DTx) treatments. DTx is enhancing patient access to the safety and effectiveness of treatments, presenting information in different languages, providing relevant information about diseases and treatments, and expanding the ability of physicians to care for patients. Furthermore, it is an advanced mode of care delivery, which can be easily implemented at home and eliminates any stigma associated with traditional therapies.

Digital Therapeutics Market Trends:

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is moderately fragmented with the presence of a large number of global and regional players. Moreover, the competitive environment in this market is intensifying due to the increasing number of research and development (R&D) innovations and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The volume of new entrants is moderate in the digital therapeutics industry due to the fragmented market structure and low product differentiation and switching cost. In addition, the growing number of mhealth developers is contributing to the high threat of new entrants. However, the requirement of patents and high costs of advanced technologies along with stringent regulatory procedures, decreases the threat from new entrants.

What are Digital Therapeutics?

Digital therapeutics (DTx) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention driven by high-quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease. It is a form of a software-as-a-medical device (SaMD) that relies on software interventions to bring about behavioral changes in patients and help treat their conditions. DTx is a fast-emerging class of therapies that utilizes software to treat disease as a standalone or for treatment optimization. It assists in preventing and managing a wide variety of diseases and conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, asthma, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), hypertension, anxiety, depression, and several others. DTx also aids in improving patient medication adherence and supporting healthcare professionals (HCPs) to manage their patients and businesses digitally.

COVID-19 Impact:

The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic can be described as a watershed moment for the healthcare industry. It changed the manner of healthcare delivery dramatically while exposing the lack of preparedness on the part of governments worldwide to adequately tackle a global healthcare emergency. Frontline health workers were involved in managing COVID-19 patients, but patients with other health conditions, especially chronic health conditions, experienced difficulties as their in-clinic visits were postponed or avoided. Moreover, as the outcomes of COVID-19 among patients with comorbidities, especially obesity, heart complications, and diabetes, were worse than those without, these patients were asked to be additionally vigilant. The pandemic also brought a fair share of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and withdrawals, and their management was a challenge due to the lack of face-to-face visits. These interconnected events have made healthcare providers look out for digital health solutions to tackle health crisis. There was a positive trend observed during the COVID-19 outbreak in relation to the adoption of digital health technologies, which increased the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare operations and service delivery. After the pandemic started, the adoption of DTx applications in various fields accelerated many folds. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the adoption of virtual and home care technologies by transforming patient engagement and integrating data across the healthcare landscape.

Digital Therapeutics Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the demand for DTx among type 2 diabetes patients to manage the disease and enable them to use the internet of things (IoT)-enabled insulin pumps and other health monitoring systems. This, along with the increasing demand for digital behavior-monitoring treatment to ensure medication adherence and healthy lifestyle changes, represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, the growing utilization of DTx to reduce the need for more follow-up checkups and relapses compared to traditional treatments is offering a favorable market outlook. Moreover, there is an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, and arthritis. This, coupled with the rising awareness among the masses about personal health and fitness, is propelling the growth of the market. Additionally, the escalating demand for DTx to help doctors manage patient adherence to medical regimens and build an integrated health ecosystem that can enable the seamless transfer of data between different stakeholders, such as payers, providers, and pharmacies, is bolstering the growth of the market.
