Growing Prevalence of Cancer
The increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, lung cancer, breast cancer due to the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy food by the majority of the population across the world is driving the market growth during the forecast period.

In 2022 the National Cancer Institute estimated around 26,380 new stomach cancer cases and 11,090 deaths in the United States. In developing countries, stomach cancer is diagnosed more in males than females. The increasing prevalence of gastric cancer across the North American region and also across different parts of the globe has increased the demand for effective therapies for treating patients, which in turn is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the 2021 statistics published by the Canadian Cancer Society, 4,000 Canadians were estimated to develop gastric cancer in 2021. Similarly, growing initiatives by the government to promote the adoption of alternative cancer therapeutics are also boosting the growth of the market over the years. Also, the Ministry of Ayush in India was set up by the government of India to look into matters related to the education, product, and research of naturopathy, Ayurveda, and homeopathy medicines. Therefore, the rising government investments in the growth of alternative therapies is fuelling the demand for various complementary and alternative cancer treatment.
