The mental health apps market includes mobile applications designed to support mental well-being by offering services such as mood tracking, stress management, guided meditation, self-help tools, and virtual therapy sessions. These apps are widely used by individuals seeking convenient, affordable, and accessible mental health support. The market is expanding rapidly due to rising awareness of mental health issues, increased smartphone usage, and the growing acceptance of digital health solutions. Both consumers and healthcare providers are adopting these tools to complement traditional therapy, making mental health care more reachable for people across all age groups.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global mental health apps market was valued at USD 6.52 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 7.48 billion in 2025 to USD 23.80 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.0% during the forecast period. In 2024, North America dominated the market with a 47.24% share.
In October 2023, Headspace Inc. announced the unification of all its service offerings under a single brand, Headspace Care, aimed at boosting accessibility and simplifying user experience across its platform.
The surging global prevalence of mental disorders—including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia—has heightened demand for accessible, effective management tools. For example, as per World Health Organization (WHO) data, approximately 280 million people worldwide suffer from depression, equating to around 3.8% of the global population. Additionally, rising government-led mental health awareness initiatives across multiple regions are reinforcing demand for digital therapeutic platforms.
However, growth may face constraints as users and providers weigh concerns related to privacy, data security, regulatory compliance, and the digital divide—especially in regions with limited tech infrastructure.
