The global post-traumatic stress disorder treatment market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.85 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.08% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing disease burden of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), innovation in R&D and emerging drug pipeline, and efforts by government and non-profit organizations to increase awareness are the key factors augmenting the space growth.
The emerging drug pipeline, thereby, expected advancement and drug launches for the treatment of PTSD, is anticipated to offer a lucrative opportunity for market growth over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the presence of Aptinyx’s NYX-783, Bionomics’ BNC210, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ JZP150 under phase 2 clinical trials. Ahead of these, Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Brexpiprazole and Zoloft Combination are in phase 3 trial, creating fierce competition among key players to launch the product in the space.
Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic further support space growth. Several studies have been conducted to understand the impact of the covid 19 pandemic on mental health, increasing the risk of PTSD and rising demand for its treatment. For instance, the August 2021 review article, "COVID?19 and Post traumatic Stress Disorder: The Perfect 'Storm' for Mental Health," clearly demonstrates an increase in the risk of development of PTSD among pandemic affected families and survivors.
Companies are strategically taking initiatives that aid in developing new products, regulatory approvals, and enhancing their product portfolio with geographical expansion. For instance, in March 2022, H. Lundbeck A/S granted the license agreement to Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., for marketing and distribute of Vortioxetine under the brand name Vortidiftm in the Indian market.
