Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

This meditation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The meditation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $7.98 billion in 2024 to $9.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stress and anxiety management, rising health and wellness trends, cultural and spiritual traditions, scientific validation of benefits, corporate wellness programs.

The meditation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on mental health, integration into healthcare practices, wellness tourism and retreats, digital meditation platforms, education and workplace integration. Major trends in the forecast period include mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) programs, incorporation of biofeedback and wearable technology, collaborations with wellness and fitness brands, introduction of sleep meditation programs, emphasis on mental health and emotional well-being.

The forecast of 23.3% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. could experience increased subscription and app development costs as guided content libraries, mindfulness tracking APIs, and neurofeedback devices sourced from India and the UK become more expensive to license and implement. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rising incidence of stress and anxiety is projected to drive the growth of the meditation market. Stress is defined as any change that leads to physical, emotional, or mental discomfort, while anxiety is characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physiological responses such as elevated blood pressure. Meditation promotes a sense of calm, tranquility, and balance, contributing to improved emotional well-being and overall health. It is also employed to alleviate anxiety and foster relaxation by redirecting attention to calming stimuli. For instance, a December 2022 report from the American Psychiatric Association, a US-based professional organization for psychiatrists, indicated that 26% of Americans expected to experience increased stress at the beginning of 2023, up from 20% the previous year. Thus, the rising prevalence of stress and anxiety is fueling the growth of the meditation market.

The increasing popularity of meditation apps is expected to drive the expansion of the meditation market in the future. Meditation apps are digital tools created to assist users in practicing mindfulness and meditation through guided sessions, audio tracks, and various other features. These apps are available across multiple operating systems and often offer a paid service option. The market is being propelled by the growing demand for applications that offer mindfulness meditation on platforms such as iOS and Android, as well as the increasing trend of using technology to personalize experiences and build connections with users. For example, in May 2022, Arka Softwares, an India-based software company, predicted that by 2026, revenue from meditation applications would reach $6,717.18 million. Therefore, the surge in meditation apps is fueling the growth of the meditation market.

Key players in the meditation market are concentrating on developing cutting-edge technological solutions, particularly mobile and electronic applications, to fortify their market positions. A mobile app, specifically tailored for wireless computing devices such as smartphones and tablets rather than traditional computers, represents a focal point in this drive. For example, in May 2022, Mobio Interactive, a Singapore-based app developer specializing in a digital theragnostic platform powered by AI, unveiled the AmDTx app. This app delivers an array of psychotherapy options, with a significant emphasis on medical-grade mindfulness meditation activities, accessible through various pathways. Additionally, it offers features such as assessing stress levels via a mobile camera, self-evaluations for stress, intuitive mood tracking, and free-form writing capabilities. Furthermore, the app facilitates the completion of meditation sessions and digitally transmitted psychotherapy through diverse training functionalities, including self-guided and intent-based methods.

Key players in the meditation market are directing their efforts towards pioneering solutions such as Calm-inspired meditation and mental health platforms to fortify their market presence. A meditation and mental health platform typically denotes a digital application offering a range of resources supporting mental well-being, including guided meditations, sleep aids, relaxation tools, and educational material. For example, in July 2023, Muvi One, a US-based comprehensive OTT platform provider specializing in audio and video streaming solutions, unveiled a meditation and mental health platform reminiscent of Calm. This platform encompasses tailored meditation sessions tailored to users' preferences and needs, in-app purchases or subscription options for extra content or features, progress monitoring, and statistics tracking user advancement.
