How long did it take the stock market to recover after the 2008 crash?

The Stock Market began to recover gradually after the 2008 financial crisis, with significant gains starting in March 2009. It took roughly four to five years for major indices, like the S&P 500, to return to their pre-crisis highs, which were reached in 2007. By 2013, the market had fully recovered, marking a long bull market that continued for several years thereafter.
