The demand for psychics in the United States is on the rise because people have become more open-minded about such services. Many people used to be skeptical of psychics, but now, more and more people are seeking their help, especially during difficult times. During the pandemic, the popularity of these services increased significantly as people sought support to cope with anxiety over health, money, and the loss of loved ones. This trend shows that more and more people are seeking a personal and spiritual approach to solve their problems. Through 2024, the market for psychic services grew at an average annual rate of 4.3%, with total revenue reaching $2.3 billion.
Despite the overall economic downturn in the U.S., psychic services have suffered minimal losses. Rising unemployment and financial hardship have prompted many Americans to turn to psychics for financial advice. Astrologers and numerologists, chiromancers, and fortune tellers have begun to utilize digital platforms to increase their clientele. Easy access through mobile apps and social media, personalized reports, and online virtual appointments have led to an increasing number of younger generations turning to psychics. And this is even though many people consider such appeals useless. In their opinion, counting on a psychic is like trying to guess the work of a random number generator. According to them, the predictions that come true are random.
Over the past five years, the number of psychics has grown significantly, hence the increased competition in this industry. Psychics often open their offices near major population centers to ensure a steady stream of clients. The regions with the highest concentration of such establishments are the Southeast, the West, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Great Lakes.
A few statistics and perspectives on psychics
The revenue of the psychic industry is showing rapid growth, averaging 4.3% per year. A large portion of the U.S. population is showing interest in supernatural practices. As a rule, people turn to psychics for help in love affairs and financial matters. Many can not come to terms with the loss of a loved one and hope that a psychic will help to establish a spiritual connection with the deceased. People became especially worried about the future after the pandemic when the percentage of deaths in the country increased, and many businesses closed down.
Recently, there has been an increase in requests from those wishing to make money on betting. In addition to soccer, basketball, or tennis fans, there are also cricket fans, which are becoming increasingly numerous. Many bet online and use their phones with various bookmaker apps to place bets. This ease of access has made betting extremely popular. However, successful betting still requires knowledge or predictions. And for these predictions, some people do turn to psychics.
Such a story is not unique only to the United States. Psychics are being approached in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Especially as more and more young people are becoming addicted to gambling in Zimbabwe, it can be assumed that the growth of appeals to psychics is partly related to this trend.
Experts predict that the market volume of psychic services will grow over the next 5 years. People care about their health and the health of their loved ones, which supports the demand for psychic services. Many Americans do not believe in traditional wellness methods, showing interest in methods that go beyond the usual.
