Statista's 2025 topic page tracks the meditation and wellness app market all the way through 2029, but the actual figures sit behind a paywall. This includes practices like yours, if you've ever wondered whether an app is quietly taking your clients.
Practices hoping to quote hard numbers on the meditation app boom will find the numbers are there, just not for them, not without a subscription.
| Original Research | A running compilation of stats and projections on the meditation and mental wellness app market |

| Source | https://www.statista.com/topics/11045/meditation-and-mental-wellness-apps/ |
| Overview | The page gathers projections on app market growth from 2017 through 2029, put together by the data platform Statista. |
| Year | 2025 |
| Publisher | Brand, Statista |
| Relevance to Wellbeing | Meditation and mental wellness apps sit close enough to wellbeing practices that their growth is worth knowing about, even in outline, since clients are downloading them whether or not anyone in the room can see the exact figures. |
| Our Verdict | Too early to tell the trend line is believable but every specific number is locked behind a login, so nothing here should be repeated as fact. |
| Our Summary |
|
| Our Geo View | Applies broadly to all countries |
Statista quietly keeps a running scoreboard on the meditation and wellness app market, but most of the actual scoring needs a subscription to view.
Statista, 2025 topic page. No fixed publish date given, updated as an ongoing hub rather than a single report.
Credibility flags: methodology not disclosed on the public page, sample size not disclosed, publisher type Brand (commercial data platform).
A relevance score out of 100, built from three things: how well it fits the six practice types, how recent it is, and how solid the methodology behind it is.
Marked down hard on how solid the method is, since nothing about sampling or methodology is visible on the public page, held at a middling score on practice fit because apps sit adjacent to wellbeing work rather than inside it, and scored well on recency since the page itself is current for 2025.
| Practice type | Relevance | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Coaching | Medium | Mention app fatigue as a reason to book real, live attention. |
| Therapy | Medium | Ask new clients what apps they've tried, use it as an easy opener. |
| Training | Low | Note early on that no app corrects your form for you. |
| Alternative Healing | Medium | Position your practice as the antidote to another screen. |
| Clinical | Low | Ask about app use during intake, gently. |
| Retreat/Centre | High | Advertise the weekend as the unplugged version of what the app promises. |
Best before: worth revisiting once Statista's topic page opens up its actual figures, or once the 2029 projection window closes, whichever happens first.
Every practice knows the particular sting of being quietly compared to an app that's always switched on and never asks for a deposit.
We love that about you. Thorough people tend to love what we've built - a story garden, a visual river, a listening wind, and a discovery call that goes properly both ways. The kettle's on. How do you take your coffee?
