The AYUSH industry is expected to grow in double digits and provide direct employment to 1 million people and indirect jobs to 25 million persons by 2020, Union Minister Suresh Prabhu said on Monday. The government is eyeing a three-fold increase in the AYUSH sector by 2022.

“The Indian domestic market of AYUSH is estimated to be ₹500 crore, while exports amount to ₹200 crore. Young Indian entrepreneurs planning a start-up could find a lot of opportunities in holistic healthcare,” Prabhu said.
