The global astrology market is valued at $14.3 billion USD (approximately 500 billion THB) and is projected to reach $25.61 billion USD by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%.

Key Growth Drivers in the Asian Region

Widespread internet access and increased smartphone usage have made astrology services more accessible. Various applications offer diverse services, from free daily horoscopes to personal consultations with experts.
The implementation of AI, Machine Learning, and Big Data in fortune analysis delivers more accurate and personalized results, creating new experiences that attract younger generations.
