Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has a tendency to minimize the side effects often associated with pharmaceutical interventions. Many CAM therapies, such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, and mind-body practices, prioritize natural and non-invasive approaches. This is especially advantageous for individuals who may be sensitive to or intolerant of certain medications, as CAM offers alternative methods with a reduced likelihood of adverse reactions. The emphasis on holistic healing in CAM often seeks to address the root causes of health issues, potentially mitigating the need for medications that can carry a range of side effects.
According to Data Bridge Market Research analyses the Global Complementary and Alternative Medicine Market was valued at USD 100.04 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 477.29 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 21.57% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
"Rise in chronic diseases boosts the market growth"
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, particularly cancer, is a key driver for the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) market. CAM plays a crucial role in cancer treatment, offering holistic approaches that complement conventional therapies. Its use is notable for alleviating common side effects such as pain, nausea, and fatigue. As individuals seek more comprehensive and integrated healthcare solutions, the demand for CAM is growing. The ability of CAM to enhance the quality of life for those dealing with chronic diseases contributes significantly to its increasing adoption and the overall expansion of the CAM market.
What restraints the growth of the global complementary and alternative medicine market?
“Poor healthcare infrastructure hampers the market growth”
The lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies serves as a significant restraint for the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) market. In these regions, the absence of well-established healthcare facilities and services can hinder the integration and acceptance of CAM practices. Limited access to medical professionals, diagnostic tools, and standardized healthcare practices may lead to skepticism or reluctance to adopt complementary and alternative therapies. The effectiveness of CAM often relies on a supportive healthcare infrastructure for proper implementation and coordination with conventional medicine
