Lexapro Market Trends, Market Share, Industry Size, Growth, Opportunities and Market Forecast – 2022 to 2028

The global lexapro market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Lexapro belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. The rise in the prevalence of anxiety disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. For instance, according to the data published by the Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA) in 2021, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the US, affecting 40 million adults at age 18 years and older, or 18.1% of the population. They are highly treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affects approximately 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the US population, Panic Disorder (PD) affects 6 million adults or 2.7% of the US population, whereas Society Anxiety Disorder (SAD) affects 15 million adults or 6.8% of the US population.

Thus, as per Anxiety & Depression Association of America (AADA), people with anxiety disorders are three to five times more likely to visit a doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for physiatric disorders than those who do not suffer from an anxiety disorder. Thus, the rise in the prevalence of anxiety disorders is anticipated to fuel the demand for the global lexaprotablet market during the forecast period
