Depression drugs sales in the USA will reach $4.6 billion by 2025, report

25 October 2016

The US market for major depressive disorders (MDD) will rise from $2.4 billion in 2015 to $4.6 billion by 2025, at a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%, a new study finds.

According to research and consulting firm GlobalData’s latest report, the USA will not only remain the largest major market for MDD drugs, but will extend its lead over other countries, primarily due to the wide-ranging availability of treatments and the commercial success of atypical antipsychotics, which generated 39% of the sales in the US market in 2015.

Christos Michaelides, GlobalData’s analyst covering neurology and ophthalmology, explains: “As a class, atypical antipsychotics are due to retain their market share during the forecast period and are expected to generate sales of $1.9 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 7.1%, which will represent a little over two-fifths of the US MDD market.
