Market size and recent performance (2016-2031)
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 2.7 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $69.7bn in 2026.
Trends and Insights
Low entry barriers fuel rapid expansion in a fragmented marketplace
- The industry’s fragmented structure has supported rapid scaling in service delivery and revenue, as many small providers can enter and expand quickly. Establishment density relative to population can signal unmet local demand, making it easier to identify underserved states or regions. Pandemic-era needs, including higher demand for family counseling and crisis intervention, further increased utilization and the breadth of offerings helped providers quickly ramp up their capacity. Establishments rose by 5.9% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022, before growth moderated in subsequent years.

Industry outlook (2026-2031)
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
Trends and Insights
Funding mix continues to drive growth unevenly across services
- Providers operate across crisis response, anti-poverty and flexible social services, but each service track taps a different government funding source that can accelerate or reduce growth. Behavioral health crisis services are typically financed through a federal-state blend, anchored by SAMHSA’s Community Mental Health Block Grant (CMHBG), alongside Medicaid reimbursement and state general funds. Basic-needs stabilization and self-sufficiency services (housing, nutrition, utility and transportation assistance, plus employment and education services) often rely on federal-origin Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) dollars administered through states and local Community Action Agencies, making growth depend on what each state chooses to fund and how much money it sends to local providers.
