Geriatric Complementary & Alternative Medicines Market - Drivers

The Growing Geriatric Population is Propelling Growth in the Market.

According to the World Health Organization, the demographic segment is growing the fastest worldwide with people over 65 yrs. The percentage of the world's population that is 60 years of age and older is expected to double between 2000 and 2050, going from about 11% to 22%. As a result, the Geriatric Complementary and Alternative Medicines industry is growing.

The growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases is Anticipated to Support Market Expansion.

The aging population is afflicted with many different illnesses. Older adults have higher rates of diabetes and cancer. Stroke is another significant problem that geriatrics face. In the United States, one person has a stroke and dies every 40 seconds. Each year, 795,000 people have a stroke, of whom 610,000 are first or fresh strokes and 185,000 are recurrent strokes. As a result, the market for Geriatric Complementary and Alternative Medicines is expected to develop owing to an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases.

Side effects Caused by Some Therapies are Hampering the Market Growth.

Aging adults' health can be adversely affected by some therapies like chiropractic, acupuncture, acupressure and hypnotherapy which can hamper the market growth. In a 2019 NCBI study on acupuncture, 1.7% of patients reported discomfort and 6.7% of patients reported bleeding/hematoma, on average three times greater adverse effects than the study doctors. Only a few small agreements between patients and doctors were discovered. There was a larger likelihood of reporting an adverse reaction when you were a female and took part in the trial during the randomization.
