Ayurveda is an Indian system of medicine derived from “Ayurvedic” natural herbs and is a form of alternative medicine. Almost 80 percent of people in India use some form of traditional medicine, a category that includes Ayurveda. Other practicing nations include Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Myanmar and as such is comparable to Chinese and European traditional systems of medicine.
Drivers of Ayurveda Industry are growing awareness of the effectiveness and efficacy of traditional systems of medicine, disillusionment with modern Allopathy with its concurrent high side effects, support from Governments, increase in the R&D activities, and others. The Beijing declaration on traditional medicine by the World Health Organization has provided impetus to the adoption of traditional systems of medicine. The support from Governments is expected to pave the development of Ayurveda. For example, the Indian Government set up AYUSH ministry to promote Ayurveda and traditional systems of medicine while the Indian council of medical research is conducting molecular-based studies to validate the efficacy of Ayurveda medicines. The Indian government has also incentivized the industry by lowering the goods and service tax on Ayurveda products to only 5 % to encourage the sector. The growing eCommerce and emergence of self-learned consumers coupled with the growth of the global herbal and nutrition industry is serving the cause of the market. The clinical drivers of the Ayurveda market are growing incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases such as rheumatic disorders, cardiology, allergy and others, lower side effects associated with herbal medicines and lack of effectiveness of modern allopathy in treatment of diseases such as Hepatitis, arthritis, and others.
