The growth of the market was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, primarily due to the substantial increase in cases of anxiety and depression during the pandemic. To illustrate, a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) published in March 2022 revealed that in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a 25% surge in the global prevalence of anxiety and depression in 2021. Furthermore, an article in the Springer Journal, published in October 2021, estimated an additional 53.2 million cases of major depressive disorders worldwide and an additional 76.2 million cases of anxiety disorders in 2021 attributable to the pandemic. Consequently, the heightened incidence of anxiety and depression disorders resulting from the pandemic significantly affected the market's growth during this period. Moreover, the demand for related treatments is expected to remain strong due to the increasing awareness among the global population regarding anxiety and depression, thus further contributing to market growth in the forecast period.

Several factors, including the rising prevalence of anxiety disorders and depression, increased awareness levels, and product launches by key industry players, are anticipated to boost market share. For instance, a September 2021 article by WHO highlighted that depression is a prevalent global ailment, affecting an estimated 3.8% of the population, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults over 60 years old, totaling approximately 280 million people worldwide in 2021. Additionally, data from TRV published in 2022 indicated that an estimated 264 million people globally experienced an anxiety disorder in 2021. This growing global prevalence of anxiety and depression is expected to contribute to market expansion.

Furthermore, the increasing number of product approvals is another factor poised to drive market growth. For instance, in July 2021, Alembic Pharmaceuticals obtained final approval from the US FDA for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Desipramine Hydrochloride tablets USP in various strengths. These approved tablets are therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug product (RLD), Norpramin Tablets, and are indicated for the treatment of depression.

The Global Anxiety Drugs Market is segmented into product, indication, regional distribution, and company

Based on its product, Antidepressant drugs are poised to dominate the global anxiety drugs market for several compelling reasons. First and foremost, the prevalence of anxiety disorders is on the rise worldwide, driven by factors such as increased stress levels, changing lifestyles, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Antidepressants, which often have dual indications for treating both depression and anxiety, are well-positioned to address this growing demand for anxiety management. Additionally, pharmaceutical companies are continually investing in research and development to introduce innovative antidepressant medications with enhanced efficacy and fewer side effects, further bolstering their dominance in the market. Moreover, the established market presence of well-known antidepressant brands, along with extensive marketing and promotional activities, contributes to their widespread recognition and acceptance among healthcare professionals and patients alike. As a result, it is highly likely that antidepressant drugs will continue to hold a prominent share in the global anxiety drugs market in the foreseeable future.

Based on indication, it is anticipated that the Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) segment will maintain a substantial market share throughout the projected period. Major depressive disorder stands as the primary contributor to the global burden of mental health conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a multitude of uncertainties impacting mental health, including factors such as virus transmission, lockdowns, public transport restrictions, school and business closures, and reduced social interaction. These factors escalated the potential risk of MDD, thereby amplifying the global burden of mental health. The prevalence of major depressive disorder has been on the rise, and the introduction of new products by key industry players is expected to fuel market growth in the forecast period. For example, an article published in Elsevier Journal in October 2021 reported a 26.7% increase in the prevalence of major depressive disorder in 2021, with a total prevalence of 3152.9 cases per 100,000 population in 2020. Such high prevalence of major depressive disorder worldwide is projected to drive demand for effective treatments, thus contributing to the segment's growth in the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, the growth of this studied segment is also expected to be bolstered by the continued launch of new products by major market players. For instance, in December 2021, Dr. Reddy introduced venlafaxine ER Tablets in the U.S. market, a therapeutic equivalent to Osmotica Pharmaceutical U.S. LLC's Venlafaxine Extended-Release Tablets in 150mg and 225mg strengths. These tablets, categorized as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD). Additionally, in October 2021, Biogen Inc. and Sage Therapeutics Inc. sought FDA approval for zuranolone as a treatment for MDD. The initial submission package for MDD will incorporate data from ongoing pharmacology and clinical studies, as well as data from the LANDSCAPE and NEST clinical trial programs, encompassing several studies evaluating the effectiveness of zuranolone in various dosing regimens, treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes.
