Mental health has emerged as a priority area for health systems globally. The stigma that previously surrounded mental health has started to dissipate, empowering individuals to seek assistance through diverse channels, including digital platforms. Mental health apps serve as a vital resource for users, providing convenient access to therapeutic tools and support in a private and comfortable environment. The rising demand for mental health services has created fertile ground for the expansion of the mental health apps market, prompting innovation and the development of new solutions.

The mental health apps market is segmented by platform, application, patient demographics, end users, and geography. The platform segmentation includes Android, iOS, and other operating systems. In 2024, the Android segment is expected to dominate the market with a significant share of approximately 64.0%. This market leadership is largely due to the higher number of Android users compared to iOS users globally. Additionally, the faster approval process for applications on the Google Play Store compared to the App Store and the generally lower subscription costs for Android apps contribute to this segment’s growth.

The application segmentation of the mental health apps market includes categories such as depression and anxiety management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), meditation management, stress management, and others. The depression and anxiety management segment is expected to capture the largest market share of 44.7% in 2024. This significant market presence can be attributed to the alarming global rise in depression and anxiety cases, with the WHO reporting that about 280 million people suffer from depression. The mental health apps tailored to address these conditions offer valuable solutions to users, enabling them to manage their symptoms effectively without resorting to medication.

The segmentation based on patient demographics includes adults, children, and older adults. In 2024, the adult segment is projected to dominate the market share, driven by the increasing awareness of mental health issues and a decrease in stigma associated with seeking help. The prevalence of mental health disorders among Generation Z also contributes to this segment’s growth. Data from the American Psychological Association indicates that only 45% of Generation Z individuals rate their mental health as good or excellent, underscoring the urgent need for accessible and effective mental health solutions.

End-user segmentation includes home care, hospitals, clinics, and other settings. The home care segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by increased awareness of mental health, the growing adoption of telehealth services, and a preference for receiving care in home environments where individuals feel most comfortable.
