Acupuncture is a part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and consists of lightly piercing a patient’s body with small needles in order to influence and manipulate the flow of the patient’s life force, or “qi”, an essential concept in TCM. The needles are placed at strategic spots chosen due to their connection with the overall flow of qi within the patient’s body. The technique of acupuncture emerged in ancient China, but has gained significant popularity in modern-day U.S. The growth of the New Age movement has considerably helped spread the acupuncture market in Western regions, where it is now considered a pseudoscience but an established part of the wide spectrum of alternative medicine.
Acupuncture has been shown to have some effect in pain treatment; however, evidence demonstrating its efficacy in treating other medical conditions and even serious pain resulting from potentially terminal conditions is lacking. Acupuncture is now also being used in gynecological conditions related to menopause or PMS. Most of the clinical effects of acupuncture are thought to originate from the placebo effect and the overall calming effect of the setting, which may help in pain relief on its own. Nevertheless, the growing demand for alternative medicine in the U.S. has emerged as a significant driver for the global acupuncture market. On the other hand, the lack of insurance coverage for acupuncture and relatively expensive per-visit fees could hamper the market’s growth prospects in Western economies over the forecast period.
