세계의 침술용 침 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 재료 유형별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Acupuncture Needles Market is accounted for $151.1 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $285.9 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Acupuncture needles are thin, sterile, stainless steel needles used in traditional Chinese medicine. Inserted into specific points on the body, acupuncture aims to stimulate energy flow to promote healing and balance. Its advantages include pain relief, stress reduction, and treating various ailments.

According to Practical Pain Management, it is estimated that up to 80% of the US population will experience back pain at some point in their lives. The treatment of low back pain (LBP), in particular, runs at least USD 50 billion in US healthcare costs each year.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing awareness of traditional medicine

Individuals seek holistic and non-invasive approaches to healthcare, traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, has gained prominence. Increased awareness, fueled by educational initiatives and information dissemination, has fostered a broader acceptance of these ancient healing practices. Patients and healthcare providers alike are recognizing the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture needles in addressing various conditions, from chronic pain to mental health issues. This growing acknowledgment reflects a paradigm shift towards embracing time-tested, alternative therapies, propelling the acupuncture needles market.

Restraint:

Needle safety concerns

Apprehensions regarding hygiene, needle disposal and the risk of infections can deter potential patients from embracing acupuncture as a therapeutic option. The fear of needle-related complications may hinder the acceptance of this traditional practice, especially among individuals with a low pain threshold or heightened anxiety. Despite stringent sterilization protocols, the perception of safety risks associated with needle use remains a challenge.

Opportunity:

Clinical evidence of efficacy

Scientific research validates the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture in pain management, mental health and various medical conditions, it enhances the credibility and acceptance of this traditional practice. The availability of robust clinical data provides healthcare professionals and patients with assurance regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture, potentially expanding its integration into mainstream medicine. This evidence-driven approach not only attracts a broader patient base seeking evidence-based therapies but also fosters collaboration between traditional and Western medicine.

Threat:

Lack of standardization

This lack of standardization not only poses potential risks to patient safety but also hampers the ability to conduct rigorous scientific studies and establish a clear understanding of acupuncture's mechanisms of action. It impedes the development of comprehensive training programs for practitioners, contributing to inconsistencies in skill levels and treatment outcomes. The absence of universally accepted protocols and guidelines raises concerns about treatment consistency, quality, and safety. Variability in manufacturing standards, needle materials, and practitioner techniques may undermine the reliability and credibility of acupuncture as a therapeutic modality.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the market by disrupting healthcare services and causing shifts in patient priorities. Lockdowns and social distancing measures led to a temporary decline in acupuncture sessions, affecting market growth. However, as societies adapt to the new normal, there is a potential for increased interest in acupuncture as a holistic therapy for stress relief and immunity support. The pandemic has underscored the importance of alternative healthcare, presenting opportunities for the acupuncture needles market to rebound and address evolving health and wellness needs

The disposable generators segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Disposable acupuncture needles are a pivotal segment in the market, offering hygienic and safe treatment options. These single-use needles eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring patient safety. Healthcare practitioners widely adopt disposable needles due to their convenience, reducing the need for sterilization and enhancing overall efficiency. The disposable nature of these needles aligns with stringent hygiene standards, addressing concerns related to needle safety. Additionally, the convenience of disposal aligns with modern healthcare practices, contributing to the increasing popularity and adoption of disposable acupuncture needles for their role in providing a reliable and safe acupuncture experience.

The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the anticipated period, the hospitals segment is expected to increase at the most effective rate. Major healthcare institutions, hospitals incorporate acupuncture to offer patients a holistic approach to treatment. Acupuncture within hospital settings is particularly valuable for managing chronic pain, alleviating stress, and promoting overall well-being. The acceptance of acupuncture within hospitals reflects a broader trend toward integrative medicine, acknowledging the importance of alternative therapies in conjunction with conventional medical practices. This integration not only expands patient access to acupuncture but also enhances its credibility within the mainstream healthcare landscape.
