The U.S. outpatient psychiatry market size was estimated at USD 15.88 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 39.22 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.63% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is driven by the increasing mental health (MH) treatment in the U.S. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an estimated 60.1 million adults in the U.S. received some form of MH treatment in 2024. This highlights the increasing demand for psychiatry services, which offer critical care, including diagnostic assessments, psychotherapy, and medication management, outside of hospital settings.
While providing flexible, accessible treatment, psychiatry allows patients to maintain their daily routines while receiving continuous MH support. The high patient volume reflects both increasing awareness of MH conditions and a shift toward community-based care, boosting the market as a rapidly expanding segment within the country's healthcare landscape.
Increasing Behavioral Health Workforce Shortage:
A persistent shortage of MH professionals, especially psychiatrists, continues to constrain capacity in outpatient psychiatry. According to the "State of the Behavioral Health Workforce" article published in 2024, a report by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), more than a third of the U.S. population (approximately 122 million people as of August 2024) resides in a designated "MH Professional Shortage Area." This shortage makes outpatient psychiatry more essential and scalable because it necessitates a greater reliance on telepsychiatry, collaborative care models, and other outpatient strategies to meet the widespread demand.
