India's Ayurveda product market is projected to reach USD 16.27 billion or Rs 1.2 lakh crore by FY28 from USD 7 billion or Rs 57,450 crore at present, according to a study.
Ayurveda product market has experienced significant growth due to rising demand for natural and herbal remedies in local and international markets, increase in ayurvedic medical practitioners, government initiatives, and emergence of new entrepreneurs, Ayurveda tech startup NirogStreet said.
Citing a survey, NirogStreet said the Ayurveda product market in India is expected to grow significantly, with projections indicating a substantial increase in market value to Rs 1,20,660 crore (USD 16.27 billion) by FY28.

Around 7,500 manufacturers across 10 states -- Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir and Kerala -- participated in the NirogStreet survey.
