In 2023, the share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in complementary and alternative medicine in China stood at a lower value than forecasted for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, a steady increase is projected, with the value marginally rising from 7.47% in 2024 to 7.54% in 2028. The year-on-year increase is approximately 0.03% to 0.02% per annum, signifying a modest and stable growth trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years highlights a very slight increase.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in policy fostering international partnerships, emerging global health challenges necessitating collaborative approaches, and increased funding dedicated to complementary and alternative medicine research, which may accelerate growth beyond current forecasts.
