Prognosis positive: Demographic and disposable income shifts will help boost industry revenue

Homeopaths

The aging population and struggling US economy have fostered mounting interest in homeopathic healing methods. This trend has spurred growth in the Homeopaths industry, with double-digit sales growth in recent years. Although significant concerns continue to exist about the legitimacy and efficacy of homeopathy 200 years after its development, a slowly growing percentage of the population is turning to industry providers for healthcare. During the five years to 2012, IBISWorld estimates that the percentage of the US adult population that uses homeopathy has increased. In the five years to 2017, the industry will continue to grow thanks to these trends, coupled with rising per capita disposable income.
