HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REPORT

Paradigm Shift in Healthcare >> Functional Medicine

The perception of illness and approaches to treatment is undergoing a paradigm shift. Conventional therapy is giving way to Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine considers the body as a holistic system and identifies imbalances and dysfunctions in the body which are the underlying causes of diseases. These imbalances are specific to the individual and hence it also qualifies as Personalized Medicine.

The treatment regimen too, is thus moving towards a holistic perspective.

Functional Medicine

Traditional Systems

This basis of Functional Medicine is not novel to traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda, which is known for treating the root cause of the disease by restoring erratic body functions. In India, a good number of consumers still prefer traditional systems of medicine over the conventional treatment like allopathy due to Indias rich heritage of natural therapies. Hence, consumers are turning back to the roots in search of holistic health and wellness. Though majority of the patients consume allopathic drugs as their primary treatment, Ayurvedic therapies do fall in their consideration as an alternative line of treatment.

Traditional Systems of Medicine >> Global Perspective

Traditional Systems of Medicine >> Indian Ayurveda Market

Home remedies are usually the first line of treatment in many households.
These home remedies have been passed down as a tradition through generations. They also pose as competition to OTC products.

However, with nuclear families becoming the norm and also due to busy lifestyles, consumers are looking for products that offer similar benefits like

home remedies in convenient formats.

This is where Ayurvedic products could find a place on the medicine shelf in many homes.

Indian Ayurveda Market >> MNCs

GSKCH P&G

Few companies like GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare and Proctor & Gamble have renamed the product ingredients of brands like ENO and Vicks respectively as Ayurvedic formulations. These brands are registered as Ayurvedic products in India to cater to the sentiments and beliefs of Indians in natural and traditional remedies. Other MNCs are yet to leverage the opportunities in this space. Leading companies and brands in the Indian Ayurveda market have been profiled to understand their marketing strategies and critical success factors vital to marketers who plan to enter the Ayurveda market.

Indian Ayurveda Market >> Opportunities

Brands like Kayam Churna, Rhumasyl, Karvol Plus have great potential for brand building, considering the equity built with consumers over time.
It is said that the root cause of all diseases is constipation - most of the communication (mainly in regional languages) for Kayam Churna was based around this logic. Globally Karvol (in India Karvol Plus) is available in various formats like decongestant drops, decongestant, chest rub, room spray and vaporizer, positioned according to consumer needs. In India, it is yet to realize its potential.

Narayan tail in Rhumasyl Liniment & Ointment is combined with herbs to make it more effective and tackle inflammation on all fronts.

These brands are highly popular among consumers but their potential has not been leveraged to the maximum. They can be potential targets for brand building.

Indian Ayurveda Market >> Opportunities

Natural therapies, including Ayurveda, are being welcomed the world over for their safety profile and organic nature. Home remedies are deep rooted in Indian households. Ayurvedic products in ready to use formats would easily find a place in Indian households. Ayurvedic products are preferred

as collaborative care for

long-term therapies such as diabetes, sinusitis, chronic gastric

problems and hence these areas can be explored by OTC marketers.

Indian regulatory policies are favorable for Ayurvedic

products, as compared to their allopathic products.
