The number of scientific publications in complementary and alternative medicine in Brazil is forecasted to see a moderate increase from 140.18 in 2024 to 142.06 in 2028. These values reflect a continuous but slow upward trend, indicating a growing interest and investment in this field. Given that the forecasted data begins from 2024, it is crucial to note that the number of publications in 2023 was similar and slightly below, underpinning a modest growth trajectory over the forecast period.

Year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 show minimal percentage change, reaffirming the steady nature of this growth. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years emphasizes a consistent increase.

Future trends to watch for:

Influence of governmental policies promoting alternative medicine research.
Increased collaboration between traditional and alternative medicine practitioners which may spur more interdisciplinary studies.
Potential integration of AI and big data analytics in complementary medicine research, enhancing publication output and quality.
