In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the growing urban population as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global health and wellness market:
Growing urban population
The global urban population is increasing rapidly in developed and developing nations. The increase in urban population has led to changes in lifestyle among people. Although rapid urbanization has improved the living standards of consumers, it has led to various health issues because of the prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle. The increasing incidences of health issues have increased the health consciousness among consumers. The rising disposable incomes around the world have a significant impact on the global health and wellness market.
The per capita disposable income exhibits low volatility in developed countries owing to the growth in double-income households. This has boosted the consumer’s purchasing power. Besides, the affordability of health and wellness food products, as well as fitness equipment, has increased in developing countries. Higher disposable incomes in the Pacific Rim countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam will further drive market growth.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for health and wellness, “Financial opportunities in urban areas have led to the migration of people to cities from rural areas. This further expands the urban consumer pool for manufacturers. Evolving lifestyles due to urbanization lead to an increase in spending, accentuating the ease of purchase for health and wellness food products and fitness equipment. More reliable distribution channels including online and retail outlets in urban areas compared with rural areas increase a product's accessibility to the consumers.”
