Treatment-Resistant Depression Treatment Market Snapshot (2023 to 2033)

The global treatment-resistant depression treatment market size is expected to be valued at USD 1.69 Billion in 2023. With the increasing prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in adults, coupled with the aging population, the overall demand for Treatment-Resistant Therapeutics Treatment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% between 2023 and 2033, totaling around USD 4.0 Billion by 2033.

The rising occurrence of Treatment-Resistant Depression has generated consciousness regarding its treatment. Various market players are developing advanced drugs that can be administered through nasal and intravenous routes rather than the traditional oral route of administration. The traditional antidepressants used for this disorder treatment require at least 4 to 6 weeks to produce an effect with a risk of incomplete or poor outcomes through the oral route of administration, whereas the intranasal has been found to produce better results within hours of administration.

For instance, in January 2022, as per the article published by Pharmacopsychiatry, the novel pipeline antidepressant MIJ821 of Novartis Pharmaceuticals demonstrated a more significant reduction in depressive episodes within 24 hours of administration via infusion weekly among patients.

In addition, the overall findings displayed that treatment with intranasal esketamine in amalgamation with a novel oral antidepressant was more efficient than a placebo plus an oral administration. The intranasal esketamine showcased a prompt drop in depressive symptoms and postponed its relapse time. Such increasing research & development for advanced drugs through other routes of administration is projected to surge the demand for drugs, thereby augmenting the overall market growth.

Treatment-Resistant Depression Treatment Demand Analysis (2018 to 2022) Vs Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global demand for treatment-resistant depression therapeutics is projected to increase at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2033, reaching a total of USD 4.0 Billion in 2033, according to a report from Future Market Insights (FMI). From 2018 to 2022, sales witnessed significant growth, registering a CAGR of 3.3%.

According to Future Market Insights, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the Treatment-Resistant Depression Therapeutics market was valued at USD 1.55 Billion in 2022. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of mental health disorders as well as conditions is increasing across the globe. There has been a 13% increase in mental health conditions and other depressive disorders in the last decade.

According to the USA Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in 2020, among adolescents between ages 12 and 17, 17.0% (about 4.1 million population) had a major depressive episode (MDE), and 12% (about 2.9 million people) had MDE with severe impairment. Moreover, several factors such as demographic changes, environmental conditions, and increasing mental stress are resulting in rising mental health disorders. This is improving the growth in the depression treatment market.

Which Drivers underpin Treatment-Resistant Depression Treatment Industry Expansion?

Increasing Drug Development Projects to Fuel the Market Growth

The rise in the prevalence of Treatment-Resistant Depression and the presence of few treatment options has stimulated the market players to initiate full-fledged research and development activities. Various major market players are focusing on developing new and innovative therapies in the market, citing the clinical benefits and a significant unmet need in treating the disorder globally.

Additionally, it is the leading cause of worldwide disability as conventional therapies are ineffective in a large patient pool, and novel therapies are needed to cater to this growing demand. Also, various pharmaceutical, as well as life science companies, are actively investing in clinical trials of potential pipeline candidates to introduce novel products for treatment. Further, such active participation from the public and private players in developing potential candidates under investigational studies escalates the demand for resistant depression treatment around the globe.

Increasing Prevalence of TRD Globally to Accelerate the Market Growth

The increase in the prevalence of this mood disorder is one of the major factors that is projected to boost the growth of the TRD Treatment market. TRD occurs when an individual hasn't responded to doses of two different antidepressants taken for an adequate time, usually six weeks. The increase in the prevalence of this medical condition has increased the demand for resistant depression therapeutics.

In addition, according to Springer's research article published in August 2021, major depression disorders affect over 300 million people worldwide, and approximately one-third of patients with MDD have treatment-resistant depression. The prevalence is also associated with disproportionate healthcare costs that have significant direct and indirect cost implications, which places considerable strain on healthcare and social resources.

The variability in the type of healthcare setting as well as accessibility to quality healthcare across the countries to assess unmet needs and treatment failure increases the demand for effective therapeutic measures. Such a rising prevalence of this disorder and disproportionate healthcare costs, which varies across the globe, are anticipated to surge the demand for an effective treatment thereby, fostering the overall treatment growth over the analysis period.

Which Factors are limiting the Growth of Treatment-Resistant Depression Treatment Market?

Poor Management of Disorders to Restrain the Market Growth

Despite increasing investment from market players in the TRD project for developing an effective therapeutic measure, there is poor management of this mood disorder, resulting in significant variations in how patients are being managed in real-world practice.

Moreover, the lack of clarity in diagnosing patients is a significant challenge for its treatment. Patients drop out or discontinue treatment due to poor or no positive outcomes. In addition, a cultural and social stigma toward reporting non-responsiveness to treatment, lack of therapeutic options, and inadequate guidelines for managing patients are cumulatively responsible for restraining the market growth.

According to a December 2020 study published by NIH, for the management of TRD, 41.0% of physicians reported treatment discontinuation and loss to follow-up as the top challenge, while 15.0% indicated a lack of therapeutic options as their biggest challenge. Another 14.0% and 13.0% were related to a lack of standardized TRD definitions and specific guidelines, respectively. In addition, the lack of clarity in guidelines for the diagnosis and management of this mood disorder patients, coupled with limited therapeutic measures is expected to hinder the market growth over the analysis period.
