The growing demand for mental health treatment is anticipated to drive the expansion of the telepsychiatry market in the future. Mental health encompasses a person's cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. Psychologists are observing a significant rise in the need for treatment related to anxiety and depression. For example, in May 2024, the American Psychiatric Association, a non-profit organization based in the US, reported that 43% of adults felt more anxious in 2024 compared to the previous year, an increase from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022. Consequently, the heightened demand for mental health services is fueling the growth of the telepsychiatry market.
The increasing government support for mental health reforms is projected to drive the growth of the telepsychiatry market in the future. Global awareness of mental health issues has been rising, resulting in a heightened demand for mental health services. Governments are acknowledging the necessity to broaden access to mental healthcare services to tackle concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Many areas, especially rural and underserved regions, are experiencing a shortage of mental health professionals. Telepsychiatry facilitates remote consultations, helping to close this gap and improve access to care where it is otherwise insufficient. For example, in October 2024, the British Medical Association, a UK-based trade union for doctors, reported that the National Health Service (NHS), a UK government public service, would allocate $14.022 billion (£12.8 billion) for mental health services, accounting for 8.1% of the total NHS budget in 2022/23. Therefore, the increasing government support for mental health reforms is fueling the growth of the telepsychiatry market.
Key companies in the telepsychiatry market are leveraging advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to improve patient care, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and optimize the delivery of mental health services, ultimately making treatment more accessible and efficient for those in need. Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the imitation of human intelligence processes by computer systems. For example, in September 2024, Iris Telehealth, a US-based telepsychiatry company serving health systems and clinics, launched its Virtual Clinic and Iris Insights platforms to improve access to behavioral health services through innovative technology. Iris Insights is an AI-driven platform that boosts the operational effectiveness of behavioral health programs, while the Virtual Clinic is designed to deliver a patient-centered care model that integrates seamlessly into existing healthcare workflows.
Prominent companies in the telepsychiatry market are launching new startups to improve service delivery, enhance patient engagement, and utilize cutting-edge technologies to meet the increasing demand for accessible mental health care. For example, in March 2023, Doki, a health tech startup based in Spain, was established with funding of €800,000 (approximately $876,400). The company aims to tackle the challenges of accessing mental health services, especially in Europe, where many individuals encounter obstacles due to overburdened healthcare systems and the stigma surrounding seeking help. Doki provides online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) programs designed to assist individuals with a range of mental health issues, including stress and low self-esteem.
In July 2024, Uwill, a US-based mental health company, acquired Virtual Care Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to broaden Uwill's reach to over 400 colleges worldwide, allowing access to mental health services for more than three million students across 50 states and 40 countries. Virtual Care Group is a US-based telehealth service focused on mental health care.
