Antidepressants are medications prescribed to treat major depressive disorders. They are used to alter brain chemistry in order to relieve symptoms such as sadness, loss of interest, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, fatigue, and poor concentration. The increasing prevalence of depression and other mental health disorders along with growing awareness is fueling the demand for antidepressants globally. Moreover, development of new and advanced treatment options by major pharmaceutical companies is also boosting market growth. However, availability of alternative treatment methods and side-effects associated with antidepressant drugs restrict the market expansion to some extent.

Market Dynamics:

The drivers influencing growth of global antidepressant market include rising incidence of depression and other mental health conditions, growing awareness about depression diagnosis and management, new product launches, and increasing expenditure on healthcare. According to WHO, over 264 million people are estimated to suffer from depression worldwide. Depression is also the leading cause of disability as measured by Years Lived with Disability (YLDs). Furthermore, growing acceptance of antidepressants for conditions other than depression such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and chronic pain is driving their market growth. However, availability of alternative treatment methods such as psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and social support is restricting complete reliance on antidepressants globally. Also, many individuals experience mild to serious side-effects such as insomnia, sexual dysfunction, weight changes, gastrointestinal issues, and headaches with antidepressant use, which limits their compliance and overall market revenue. High costs of new antidepressants also hinder the market growth, especially in price-sensitive developing nations. Development of generics offers opportunities to address the unmet needs of consumers with budget constraints.
