“It is not living, but living well which we ought to consider most important” Plato.
This statement, is particularly pertinent at this time in history and illustrates a strong market trend driven by people’s desire to stay healthy and take care of the well-being of their bodies and minds. The Wellness Economy is booming; well-being is the new imperative in the post-pandemic world.
But the Wellness Economy has been one of the markets most impacted by the health crisis. Before the pandemic, this industry grew by an average of 6.6% (three years 2017-2019). In 2020, it shrank instead by 11 % from $4,909 billion to $4,369 billion. Today, however, the sector is expected to rebound with an average growth of 10% (2022-2025).
The Global Wellness Economy highlights that in 2021 the Wellness market was worth $4.4 trillion up 12.8 % from the 2015 figure. Europe ranks first in the Wellness Tourism and Spa sector and is the fastest growing market in the corporate wellness sector. In particular, Italy is among the top 10 countries in the world in the wellness, spa and thermal tourism sector.
Looking at the etymology of these words, the word wellness is the union of the English terms “well being” and “fitness” and refers to an all-round psychophysical well-being and balance; the word SPA is the Latin acronym “sanae per aqua,” meaning “water, the essential element for life.”
Being an expert in this world, the company AQUADEMY, accompanied by Roncucci&Partners in its Business Development abroad, offers us its industry testimony:
