Major Depressive Disorder Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034


The top 7 major depressive disorder markets reached a value of US$ 5.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 7.1 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.88% during 2024-2034.

The major depressive disorder market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Major Depressive Disorder Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Major depressive disorder, also referred to as clinical depression, is a mental condition that causes alterations in brain function, including the disrupted activity of specific neural circuits in the brain. The disease is characterized by at least two weeks of pervasive low mood, loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities, and lack of self-esteem. The common symptoms of this condition include inappropriate guilt or regret, feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, poor concentration, reduced sex drive, withdrawal from social situations and activities, irritability, suicidal thoughts, etc. Additionally, individuals suffering from major depressive disorder may experience insomnia, hypersomnia, oversleeping, fatigue, headaches, or digestive problems. Diagnosing this ailment is based on the patient's symptoms, biographical history, and mental status examination. The healthcare provider also performs cognitive tests and brain imaging studies to help distinguish depression from other mental disorders. Various assessment tools, such as the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Beck Depression Inventory, are utilized to determine the severity of symptoms and confirm a diagnosis.

The rising incidences of several associated risk factors, including stressful life events, medical conditions like chronic illness, psychological factors such as personality traits, etc., are primarily driving the major depressive disorder market. In addition to this, the increasing cases of imbalances in brain chemistry, specifically in the levels of certain neurotransmitters, are also propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the inflating adoption of effective medications, including antidepressants and anxiolytics, to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the escalating application of transcranial magnetic stimulation, a noninvasive treatment procedure that utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells and alleviate disease indications, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread demand for behavioral interventions, such as interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral therapies, to prevent new-onset depression and change unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is also augmenting the market growth. Additionally, the emerging popularity of low-dose psychedelic drugs that boost the activity of glutamate in the brain and improve the patient's mood is expected to drive the major depressive disorder market in the coming years.

IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the major depressive disorder market in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and United Kingdom) and Japan.
