Mental Wellness Global Market Report 2024

The mental wellness market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $160.3 billion in 2023 to $173.03 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the rise in mental health awareness, efforts to reduce stigma, the implementation of corporate wellness programs, advancements in telehealth, and various government initiatives aimed at improving mental health services.

The mental wellness market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $235.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The expected growth in the forecast period is influenced by several factors: the increasing significance of wearable devices in mental health management, a global advocacy for mental health awareness, a shift towards preventive mental health practices, the emergence of virtual reality therapy, and the development of tailored solutions for mental wellness. Major trends anticipated during this period encompass the rise of digital mental health platforms, the implementation of mental health programs in corporate settings, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health solutions, a focus on cultural diversity and inclusivity in mental health initiatives, and the creation of holistic wellness ecosystems to support mental well-being.

The increasing prevalence of mental health disorders is expected to drive the growth of the mental wellness market in the future. Mental health disorders are characterized by clinically significant impairments in cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior, often associated with distress or functional impairment in important areas of life. The rising incidence of these disorders has led to an expansion of the mental wellness market, as mental wellness practices are instrumental in both preventing and treating mental health disorders. For example, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre, a UK-based federal body providing content, data, and computer systems for professionals, clinicians, and regulators in the social and healthcare sectors, the percentage of 17- to 19-year-olds with suspected mental disorders increased from 17.4% in 2021 to 25.7% in 2022. Therefore, the increasing incidence of mental health disorders is a key driver behind the growth of the mental wellness market.

An increase in smartphone adoption is expected to drive the growth of the mental wellness market in the future. Smartphone adoption refers to the proportion of individuals who own and use smartphones. The widespread adoption of smartphones can contribute to mental wellness by providing access to mental health apps, resources, and support. For example, in February 2023, Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, reported that starting in 2022, there were 71.8 million mobile connections in the UK, representing a 3.8% (or approximately 2.6 million) increase from 2021. The UK population is projected to reach 68.3 million by 2025, with an estimated 95% (or around 65 million individuals) owning a smartphone. Therefore, the growing adoption of smartphones is a key driver of the growth of the mental wellness market.

For instance, in April 2022, Talkspace, a US-based provider of virtual behavioral health services, unveiled Talkspace Self-Guided - a comprehensive suite of offerings tailored for employers aiming to assist executives, managers, and teams in prioritizing and cultivating emotional intelligence (EQ) and mental wellness. This groundbreaking app presents over 70 clinically supported programs and hosts weekly therapist-led live classes focusing on addressing concerns such as anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, and more.
