By 2028, the forecasted data indicates a marginal increase in the total number of scientific publications in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Canada, beginning from 47.97 publications in 2024 to 48.17 by 2028. This suggests a very modest positive year-on-year variation of approximately 0.12% between consecutive years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is negligible, highlighting a notably stable trend in publication output without significant growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from increasing governmental support towards non-conventional therapies, shifts in public interest, and interdisciplinary cross-collaborations, which may influence research priorities and publication rates.
