The increasing incidence of mental disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the occupational therapy market in the future. Mental disorders, also referred to as psychiatric disorders or mental illnesses, are medical conditions affecting a person's thoughts, emotions, behavior, and overall mental well-being. Occupational therapy proves beneficial in treating and managing mental disorders by focusing on helping individuals with mental health challenges develop the necessary skills and strategies for leading meaningful and fulfilling lives. For example, data from March 2023, as reported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, estimates that there were approximately 14.1 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States with serious mental illness (SMI). Additionally, in November 2022, as per the National Health Service, the proportion of people with a probable mental disorder, aged 17 to 19 years old, increased from 17.4% in 2021 to 25.7% in 2022. Therefore, the growing incidence of mental disorders is a key driver for the occupational therapy market.
An increase in mental health spending is expected to drive the growth of the occupational therapy market in the near future. Mental health spending refers to the financial resources allocated for mental health services, treatments, and support for individuals facing mental health challenges. This spending plays a crucial role in occupational therapy by impacting the availability and quality of mental health services and support for those in need. For example, in August 2022, a study by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych), a UK-based professional membership organization, revealed that in 2022/2023, the spending on mental health services in England was $290.55 USD per person. In 2023/2024, this amount rose to $322.01 USD. Therefore, the rise in mental health spending is fueling the growth of the occupational therapy market.
