The digital therapeutics market size was USD 5.53 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 6.77 billion in 2023 to USD 28.66 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.9%. North America Dominated the Market due to Large Population Suffering from Chronic Illnesses.


Digital therapeutics (DTx) includes the software and devices that digitally maintain evidence-based therapeutic interventions for the prevention and management of diseases. The software and devices aid in the treatment of various disorders related to mental health, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. The increased demand for these products is also due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, mental illness, cancer, and heart failure (HF), worldwide. Hence, the adoption of therapeutics for managing and treating various chronic illnesses is increasing among patients.



  • As per an article published by the American Cancer Society, Inc. in 2021, an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed and will cause 608,570 cancer deaths in the United States.


Additionally, the increased demand for these products amongst the pharmaceutical industries and physicians is also anticipated to drive market growth. The increased focus on research and development activities among market players to develop novel and advanced therapeutics for treating various diseases is expected to spur the growth of these products. For instance, in 2020, Akili, Inc. received clearance from the U.S. FDA for Interactive’s video game treatment EndeavorRx for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).


COVID-19  IMPACT:


COVID-19 Positively Impacted the Market Due to Increased Adoption of Digital Therapeutics


The COVID-19 impact on the global digital therapeutics market growth will be positive during the forecast period. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions, the demand for efficient diagnosis and treatment at home significantly increased over the world. Moreover, the initiatives undertaken by major key players in the market to manage patients during the COVID-19 pandemic played a major role in the increased adoption of these products.



  • For instance, in April 2020, Fitbit Health Solutions announced a collaboration with The Scripps Research Institute and Stanford Medicine to study the role of wearables in the detection, tracking, and management of COVID-19 infection in patients.


Henceforth, the major players in the market witnessed increased revenues generated from the software and devices owing to the high demand and shifting adoption towards online treatment rather than visiting clinics and pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic.



  • For instance, according to a publication by MobiHealthNews in May 2021, 41.0% of start-ups in digital health companies noticed significantly higher revenue than expected during COVID-19, and 29.0% of companies generated slightly higher revenue than expected.


A surge in the high demand for treatment at home for various chronic diseases during the pandemic has created an opportunity for market players to introduce novel and advanced software and devices in the market, thereby boosting the steady market growth during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The increased usage of smartphones coupled with the introduction of mobile applications for the treatment of chronic diseases is expected to spur the global digital therapeutics market forecast.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limitations Associated with the Digital Therapeutics to Limit its Adoption


This market represents an emerging field of software and device-driven based products intended to prevent, manage or treat medical conditions. However, increasing issues related to cybersecurity are a major concern limiting the adoption of therapeutics. Patients are concerned about the risks and vulnerabilities in protecting their medical data. Certain risks and cyberattacks are responsible for the restrained adoption of these products in the forecast period.



  • According to Appdome Inc., in September 2022, the risk of cyberattacks on digital therapeutics apps increased as compared to previous years. The cyberattacks are due to the increased availability of more users and the rise in patient health information.
