Digital Therapeutics Market Size Worth $32.5 Billion By 2030 | Global and Regional Forecast | Grand View Research, Inc.
The global digital therapeutics market size is anticipated to reach USD 32.5 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR of 26.1% from 2022 to 2030. Key factors driving the market growth include high demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various supportive regulatory initiatives & early signs of reimbursements, increasing smartphone penetration in developed & developing countries, and the growing prevalence of chronic disorders. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness of digital health technology for providers & patients and increasing demand for integrated healthcare systems & patient-centric care are estimated to boost the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the
adoption of digital therapeutics solutions. Teladoc reported that telehealth
usage grew by about 38 times since pre-pandemic. The adoption of these solutions
was further supported by supportive initiatives by key regulatory bodies, such
as the FDA. For instance, the U.S. FDA released guidelines in April 2020 to
expand the availability of digital health therapeutic devices for psychiatric
patients. As per Kepios, globally, the number of internet users is growing at
an annual rate of 7.6%, i.e., an average addition of 900,000 new users every
day. While developed and certain developing economies have high smartphone and
internet penetration, countries in regions, such as Africa and South Asia, are
lagging due to their less advanced economies.
With a modest user base, Africa’s
smartphone market is expected to grow due to the advent of affordable handsets
in the country. These handsets are priced under USD 100 per unit and are
gaining popularity. The need for cost-effective healthcare is increasing due to
the growing healthcare expenditure. The rising incidence of chronic diseases
has led to an increase in healthcare costs. This has affected economic growth
in developing and developed economies. To promote cheaper and alternative means
of healthcare delivery, digital health technologies are being encouraged to
help avoid added costs. The ease of usage of mHealth apps and their consistent performance
can help improve health outcomes of individuals and communities, which is
anticipated to have a positive impact on market growth.
