Enhanced Acupuncture Methods
The demand for acupuncture that doesn’t hurt and doesn't involve surgery has led to some pretty amazing improvements in this treatment. Newer methods, like using lasers or electro-acupuncture, are becoming more popular. These advancements are expected to make the global acupuncture market even larger in the coming years. Big companies are working hard to create and provide these special tools. Take, for example, Zepter International in Switzerland. They make and sell special products for electro-acupuncture. There's also a company called MKW Laser System GmBH. They're pretty famous in Europe for making low-level laser systems used in acupuncture, like the LASER PEN LA-X P200 and LA-X P500 LASER PEN.
A Growing Population of Older Adults
As people get older, they often face more health issues like body pain, trouble sleeping, and stress. This has created a bigger market for acupuncture. The number of older people worldwide is increasing, and this is going to make the global acupuncture market even bigger. According to the World Health Organization, between 2015 and 2050, the number of people over 60 is going to double! By 2050, almost 80% of these older people will live in countries that aren’t super wealthy. So, the world's population is changing—by 2050, there will be twice as many older people as there are kids! And in the U.S., it’s predicted that by 2060, there will be about 98 million people aged 65 or older.
The advancements in acupuncture are exciting because they make treatments more comfortable and accessible. Laser acupuncture and electro-acupuncture are two types that have gained attention. Laser acupuncture uses special light beams instead of needles, making it less scary for people who might be afraid of needles. Electro-acupuncture involves a tiny electrical current passing through the needles to stimulate the body. Both methods are becoming popular for being less invasive and causing less discomfort.
As people age, they tend to face more health problems. From joint pains to sleep issues, seniors often seek relief from these discomforts. Acupuncture offers a non-medicinal way to address these concerns. With more seniors seeking these alternative therapies, the demand for acupuncture continues to rise.
