Pharmaceutical Treatment For Postpartum Depression Is Fastest Growing Segment Fueling The Growth Of Postpartum Depression Drug Market

The global Postpartum Depression Drug Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 6.65 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 30% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:


Postpartum depression drug market consists of antidepressant drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and others. These drugs help in restoring imbalances in the levels of chemicals like serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain thereby relieving symptoms such as extreme sadness, anxiety, exhaustion and others associated with postpartum depression.

Market key trends:


One of the major trends in the postpartum depression drug market is the approval and launch of novel drugs for treating postpartum depression. For instance, in 2022, Sage Therapeutics received FDA approval for Zulresso (brexanolone), the first drug specifically approved for treating postpartum depression. Zulresso is administered as a single 60-hour intravenous infusion and works by targeting GABA receptors in the brain to rapidly reduce symptoms of postpartum depression. Such approval and launch of new drugs is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Segment Analysis:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) currently dominate the postpartum depression drug market, accounting for over 40% of the overall sales. This is because SSRIs are considered first-line treatment by healthcare professionals for postpartum depression due to their favorable safety and tolerability profiles. Some of the commonly prescribed SSRIs include sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and paroxetine (Paxil). However, the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) segment is anticipated to experience high growth during the forecast period. SNRIs such as duloxetine (Cymbalta) offer dual reuptake inhibition of both serotonin and norepinephrine, providing more complete antidepressant effects over SSRIs. Additionally, SNRIs may have faster onset of action and better tolerability for some patients.

Key Takeaways:

- The Global Postpartum Depression Drug Market Demand is expected to witness a high growth of 30% over the forecast period, due to rising awareness regarding mental health and increasing diagnosis of postpartum depression.

- North America currently dominates the global market, accounting for over 40% revenue share in 2023. This is attributed to well-established healthcare infrastructure and growing adoption of innovative drugs in the region. However, Asia Pacific region is poised to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period driven by increasing affordability of healthcare services and expanding customer base.
