Market Dynamics:

Global traditional medicine market growth is driven by rising awareness about herbal and homeopathic medicines along with their potential health benefits. Growing preference for traditional treatments over allopathic medicines due to lesser side effects is boosting the market growth. Various government initiatives aimed at promoting traditional therapies and integrating them into mainstream healthcare systems in different countries are creating new opportunities. However, lack of scientific evidence validating efficacy and safety of traditional medicines, difficulty in standardization of products, and tight regulatory frameworks are some challenges restraining wider acceptance. Adoption of digital technologies by practitioners can help to address these issues by enabling quality control and monitoring. This will further fuel the traditional medicine industry expansion.
