Market Restraints:

• Strict guidelines related to the use of ayurveda medicines

Furthermore, factors such as deficiency of optimum therapeutics, shortage of a killer instinct in the ayurvedic industry, and strict regulations are potential restraints hindering the overall growth of the ayurvedic market.

• Inadequate knowledge of ayurveda science in western countries

Market Opportunities:

• High demand for natural medicine from developing countries
