The Future is 'Phygital': Astrology App Market Booms, Blending AI with Ancient Wisdom
Digital Desk
The ancient art of astrology is undergoing a digital revolution. The global astrology app market, valued at over USD 3 billion in 2024, is projected to surge to a staggering USD 9 billion by 2030, according to a new market research report. In India, this growth is even more explosive, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of nearly 49%.
This "phygital" (physical + digital) trend is driven by AI-powered hyper-personalized horoscopes, live video consultations with certified astrologers, and the integration of wellness features like guided meditations based on moon signs.
Apps are no longer just about daily sun sign readings; they offer companionship, mental health support, and a sense of community.
Leading this charge are platforms like Co–Star, known for its AI-driven, eerily accurate relationship insights; India’s AstroTalk, which provides instant access to live astrologers; and The Pattern, which focuses on cyclical trends and social connection.
"Astellium, a market analyst, comments, "The pandemic accelerated this trend, but its staying power comes from a generation seeking personalized guidance.
They don't want generic advice; they want data-driven insights into their unique life path, relationships, and career, all accessible from their smartphone." This fusion of timeless wisdom with cutting-edge technology is redefining how millions connect with the cosmos.
