In 2023, India's share of scientific publications among the world's top 10% cited in Complementary and Alternative Medicine stood at a significant level, but forecasts from 2024 onwards suggest a slight but consistent decline. The share is projected to decrease from 8.26% in 2024 to 8.03% by 2028.
Observing the year-on-year percentage change, the trend indicates a minor annual average reduction, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) slightly negative over the five-year forecast period.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include global shifts in research priorities and increased competition from other countries in the same field, which could influence India’s rankings further.
