The U.S. digital therapeutics market size was valued at $1.16 billion in 2019, and is expected to reach $5.08 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period.
Digital therapeutics (DTx) is a sub division of digital health, and not all digital health solutions are digital therapeutics. The difference between digital health and digital therapeutics is based on clinical outcomes for patients. For instance, digital therapeutics does not include consumer health-oriented technologies such as step-counters and calorie-counters. It is a new class of healthcare products that uses digital technology to prevent, manage, or treat medical conditions. In addition, it utilizes digital health technologies to treat a psychological condition. Hence, the aforementioned factors boost growth of the U.S. digital therapeutics market.
The U.S. digital therapeutics market is expected to be positively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to awareness regarding the importance of digital health, rise in prevalence of mental illness, and increase in rate of drug abuse in the country. Moreover, during this pandemic, people are required to stay at home, which leads to less physical activity, unhealthy lifestyle, mental stress, and prevalence of chronic diseases. Hence, there is a rise in demand of digital therapeutics (DTx) devices and software across the country.
The demand for U.S. digital therapeutics is on the rise,owing to increase in adoption of smartphones, tablets, and smart wearables, coupled with healthcare apps,surge in need to control healthcare costs, and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases. In addition, growth in adoption of advanced technologies and tech-driven healthcare products & applications further fuel growth of the market. However, lack of reimbursement policies for digital therapeutics and patient data privacy concerns restrain the market growth. On the contrary, favorable laws and regulations for digital health technology and increase in investments in digital therapeutics are expected to provide significant profitable opportunities for manufacturers in the U.S. digital therapeutics market.
