Executive Summary
Summary:
Over the last decade, there has been a growing prevalence of mental health disorders across the globe, a good part of which was due to the COVID pandemic. Not only was the pandemic responsible for many new cases of mental health disorders, it worsened the condition of many people who were already suffering from mental health disorders and, due to lockdowns, made treatments less accessible.
Mental health apps started proliferating during the COVID pandemic. Mental health apps are mobile applications that can alleviate mental health disorders. Currently there are more than 20,000 mental health disorder apps available in the iOS and Google app stores.
Even after the pandemic, there are other factors driving the market for mental health apps. The limited number of psychiatrists, psychologists and other professionals available for treating mental health disorders is a major factor. Additionally, the advantages of the mental health apps, such as accessibility, affordability and anonymity, are also boosting the market growth. The demand for mental health apps have also generated the interest of venture capitalists and as a result there has been a sharp increase in funding for mental health apps.
The mental health apps market also faces certain challenges, such as concerns about data security and safety. There have been incidences of data theft. There is also a challenge of customer retention, as most customers stop using the apps within a week after downloading. Finally, the effectiveness of the apps is still questionable.
