계절성 정서 장애(SAD) 치료 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Seasonal Affective Disorder Therapeutics Market was valued at USD 821.6 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a 4.7% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Rising cases of SAD are driving demand for effective, affordable, and patient-friendly treatment options. SAD treatments include light therapy, antidepressants, psychotherapy, and innovative interventions aimed at managing mood disorders triggered by seasonal changes, particularly during fall and winter. Advancements in treatment methods, such as improved light therapy devices and extended-release antidepressants, are increasing the efficacy of therapies, contributing to market growth. Additionally, digital health tools such as AI-powered mood tracking apps and telepsychiatry platforms are enabling personalized treatment plans. These combined treatment approaches, which integrate behavioral therapy with lifestyle changes, are witnessing growing adoption. This holistic approach not only addresses the underlying causes but also enhances overall patient well-being.

The market is segmented by treatment type, disorder type, and end use. Based on treatment type, the market includes medication and therapy segments. The medication segment, which accounted for USD 529.7 million in 2024, includes selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and other medications. SSRIs, such as fluoxetine and sertraline, play a vital role in managing depressive symptoms by regulating mood through biochemical balance. Innovations such as extended-release formulations improve patient adherence and reduce side effects. Furthermore, combining antidepressants with complementary treatments, such as melatonin receptor agonists, is diversifying treatment options and supporting market expansion. Personalized medicine, driven by pharmacogenomics, enhances treatment efficacy and further propels the market.

By disorder type, the market is divided into fall & winter SAD and spring & summer SAD. The fall & winter SAD segment held an 81.6% market share in 2024 due to the higher prevalence of SAD during periods with shorter daylight hours. Reduced sunlight disrupts circadian rhythms and serotonin production, leading to depressive symptoms. This segment benefits from the development of advanced light therapy devices, improved antidepressants, and cognitive-behavioral therapies tailored to address these seasonal mood triggers. Increased awareness of seasonal mood disorders and the growing adoption of combination therapies contribute to the continued dominance of this segment.

By end use, the market is categorized into hospitals, specialty clinics, homecare settings, and other end users. Specialty clinics accounted for a significant market share and are expected to reach USD 516.3 million by 2034. These clinics offer specialized care with advanced diagnostic and treatment procedures, catering to patients seeking tailored therapies such as light therapy and pharmacological interventions. Specialty clinics provide integrated care using mood-tracking technologies and telepsychiatry services, contributing to their growing prominence. Increased awareness of mental health, referrals from general practitioners, and patient preference for specialized care are driving the growth of specialty clinics.

In North America, the US seasonal affective disorder therapeutics market is projected to grow at a 4.7% CAGR, reaching USD 512.1 million by 2034. Factors contributing to this growth include rising mental health awareness, high prevalence of SAD, and the availability of advanced healthcare infrastructure. Widespread adoption of light therapy devices, reimbursement policies for mental health, and advancements in telepsychiatry platforms also enhance early diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes, supporting market growth in the region.
