Global complementary and alternative medicine is primarily driven by the rising awareness regarding the benefits of medicines made from herbs and plants. The rising adoption of yoga, aroma therapy, acupuncture therapy, and various other therapies. The growing burden of diseases, the rising geriatric population, and government support are the major factors that boost the growth of the global complementary and alternative medicine market.

Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing demand for natural and herbal products in developing and developed nations

It has been witnessed that consumers across the globe are increasingly opting for chemical-free organic and natural products. This trend is being witnessed in medicines too. The demand for herbal tea and herbal oil is growing rapidly in industrialized economies like India and China. Moreover, the rising demand for natural medicines in the economies like US, France, Germany, and UK is expected to have a significant impact on the growth of the global complementary and alternative medicine market. The growing burden of diseases coupled with the increasing awareness regarding the benefits of natural medicines is boosting market growth.

Restraint: Increased reliance on the modern medicines

The pharmaceutical industry is growing at a significant rate because of the increased adoption of modern medicines that can quickly cure chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, many consumers are of the perception that allopathic medicines are far superior as compared to homeopathic and naturopathic medicines. Therefore, the increased preference for modern medicines is the major restraining factor.

Opportunity: Business expansion strategies adopted by the market players

The market players operating in the complementary and alternative medicine market are investing in business expansion strategies. These strategies also play a crucial role in advertising alternative medicines and therapies, which is expected to positively impact the market growth in the foreseeable future. For instance, in December 2019, Modern Acupuncture started its new clinic in Florida, which was the 54th acupuncture clinic in the US. This new acupuncture clinic is expected to serve the growing demand for acupuncture therapy among the US population.

Challenge: Lack of awareness and lower penetration

Complementary and alternative medicines have lower penetration across the global regions. The lack of awareness regarding the availability of homeopathic and Ayurveda centers restricts the growth of the market. The lack of awareness regarding the various CAM medicines and therapies is a major challenge for the market players.
