to be honest I'd be suprised if Far Eastrn countires jumped on the bandwagon faster than here or in Europe.

I spent nearly a year studying medicine in the far East and the patients tend to believe that herbal or more ancient remedies are superior to anything on the market now. If I saw someone with pneumonia and gave them a perscription for antibiotics, they would come bacl to the office in a week having taken none of the antibiotics ,but they had started taking an herbal remedy immediately. I also tried to cast some people with broken bones and they would take the cast off and wrap their legs or arms with and ancient, and very smelly mixture of leaves, mud, etc.

I beleive these will be more difficult markets to gain acceptance in... but if it does, the potential is , as you said, HUGE.
