The post-traumatic stress disorder therapeutics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, there has been consistent growth in the market size of therapeutics for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This market is predicted to expand from $1.14 billion in 2024 to $1.19 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. Several factors from the historic period have contributed to this growth, including increased awareness about PTSD, a rise in trauma incidence rates, various government campaigns, progress in diagnostic methods, the diminishing stigma related to mental health, the introduction of psychological support programs, and a concentrated focus on veterans' healthcare.
The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Therapeutics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for therapeutics for post-traumatic stress disorder is anticipated to undergo steady expansion. The predicted growth has it reaching $1.38 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%.
Factors contributing to the growth expected during this forecast period include enhanced availability of mental health services, mental health policies implemented by the government, research in biology and neurology, instances of PTSD in civilian populations, and strategies for crisis response. Key trends projected during this forecast period encompass the incorporation of digital therapeutics, strides in pharmacological treatment approaches, the use of neurostimulation and brain stimulation techniques, therapy aided by psychedelics, and joint research efforts.
The global increase in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the market for PTSD therapeutics. PTSD is a condition that emerges in individuals who have endured terrifying, surprising or threatening events. Treatments for PTSD, such as psychotherapy and medication, can assist individuals in regaining control over their lives. For example, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH), a company which provides mental health services to current service members and reservists, reported in March 2024 that the number of military personnel undergoing initial PTSD evaluations by mental health specialists escalated from 266 cases in 2022 to 320 cases in 2023, as stated on a UK-based defense industry news website. This significant increase in recorded PTSD cases is subsequently fueling the growth of the post-traumatic stress disorder therapeutics market.
