The global behavioural health EHR market is estimated to be USD 3.47 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 24.90 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 19.62% during the forecast period 2025-2035. The market will grow due to factors such as the rising prevalence of mental health disorders, technological developments in EHR systems, the growing use of telehealth and virtual care, the increased emphasis on patient-centered care, and the lack of behavioral health professionals.
The global rise in awareness of mental health issues, along with the increasing recognition of behavioral health as a crucial aspect of overall health, has driven demand for efficient management tools in this sector. According to the United States National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 48.5 million individuals in the U.S. were suffering from substance use disorders in 2023, yet only 23% of these individuals received treatment. This gap underscores the significant opportunity to enhance the delivery of behavioral healthcare services. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated the healthcare budget for drug control to be around USD 11.9 billion in 2024, further highlighting the critical need for effective behavioral health electronic health record (EHR) solutions.
By product, the web/cloud-based EHR segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global behavioural health EHR market in 2024 owing to the increased demand for flexible, scalable solutions that offer remote access, cost efficiency, and seamless integration with telehealth services. For instance, in May 2023, NorthSight Recovery, a mental health organization in Arizona, implemented a cloud-based EHR system to improve data usage and patient results. The agency highlights the role of technology in treating the United States' mental health crisis, particularly in light of rising opioid addiction rates. Additionally, the on-premises EHR segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the preference for enhanced data security, control over sensitive patient information, and compliance with stringent regulatory requirements, particularly among larger healthcare organizations.
By functionality, the clinical functionality segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global behavioural health EHR market in 2024 owing to the rising need for comprehensive tools that support diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management, enhancing the quality of care for behavioral health patients. For instance, in August 2023, lawmakers introduced a new measure that, if passed, will finance the purchase of electronic health records and other technology to assist behavioral health practitioners. Additionally, the administrative functionality segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its ability to streamline administrative workflows, improve scheduling, billing processes, and reduce operational costs for healthcare providers.
By end-user, the community clinics segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global behavioural health EHR market in 2024 owing to the increasing adoption of EHR systems by smaller clinics to enhance patient care, documentation, and reporting capabilities, driven by government incentives and funding programs. For instance, online mental health provider Talkspace unveiled its mental Health Consortium in April 2024. This network of specialized providers includes Charlie Health, Bicycle Health, and Ria Health. Through this consortium, Talkspace doctors can refer insured members to like-minded, clinically-vetted specialist care providers that provide a higher level of care for substance use, alcoholism, and eating disorder therapy. Additionally, the hospitals segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing focus on integrating behavioral health services into general healthcare settings, supported by increased investments in healthcare IT infrastructure to improve patient outcomes.
North American region is anticipated to have the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the well-established healthcare infrastructure, high adoption rates of advanced EHR systems, supportive government initiatives like the HITECH Act, and increased focus on mental health awareness and treatment. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising prevalence of mental health disorders, growing investments in healthcare IT infrastructure, increasing government support for digital healthcare solutions, and the expanding adoption of cloud-based EHR systems among healthcare providers. For instance, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) collaborated in February 2024. Over the course of the following three years, the two organizations used SAMHSA monies totaling more than USD 20 million to develop health information technology (IT) in behavioral healthcare.
