The future of Spa & Health

September 25, 2019 by Annie

Considering wellness is the new “black” and “well-thy” is now a status symbol among consumers, the market for wellness cannot be considered separate from leisure and luxury; a concept that has evolved from ownership to experiences that offer convenience, choice, value, and the ability to share with others.

The growth of these markets is evident in Australians spending far more on experiences, outpacing spending on either discretionary or basic needs consumption. Over $132 billion was spent on leisure and entertainment in the year to March 2017 – an increase of $16 billion per annum over the five years since March 2012, and far more than was spent on either discretionary commodities ($107b) or groceries ($103b).

The global wellness economy is booming too, growing 12.8% in the past two years to reach a market value of $4.2 trillion4, and is expected to continue accelerating by 17% until 2025. The wellness industry now represents 5.3% of global economic output.

“Wellness, for more people, is evolving from rarely to daily, from episodic to essential, from a luxury to a dominant lifestyle value. And that profound shift is driving powerful growth.” – Katherine Johnston, senior research fellow, Global Wellness Institute

Australia’s personal spending on health has mirrored this trend, reaching $28.6 billion in 2016, with an estimated $4 billion of this spent on alternative health therapies like spas, traditional Chinese medicine, mind-body exercise and nutrition. As the publics growing embrace of alternative therapies starts to meet traditional medicine in a meaningful way, further opportunities will continue opening up.

Comparing the spa industry with the tech industry, the spa world has moved slowly to respond to cultural influences and changing customer perceptions. Despite best efforts, much of what has been passed off as innovation in the rapidly expanding spa and wellness industry has been more about clever marketing and getting attention than it has been about true innovation, causing the current day spa model to become unsustainable.

There is an opportunity for a new model of day spa, that draws on its historical roots of social bathing, where it reaches a number of consumer segments across the wellness, leisure and luxury industry clusters, so as to become a highly desirable status “hangout”.

Some people do enjoy home-style spa experience purchasing shower system such as shower panel that has jets. Shower panel offers a complete and gratifying shower experience. It combines showering with water jets for soothing massage sensation.

Where ever there is a problem there is an opportunity, which is why we have been working behind the scenes to create a new model of Spa that meets the problems head on and harnesses the opportunities with both hands.

  • Current offerings for wellness remain fragmented, with most players having a limited number of centers that offer disconnected programs, amenities, and itineraries.
  • Existing larger scale models are marketed on natural resources, operating in remote areas with low accessibility for frequent use.
  • Considered a luxury and perceived as too expensive by many people, even those with strong desire.
  • Oriented at the individual – a singular, rather than social experience – and many of the emerging social trends cannot be embraced.
  • Focused on beauty and pampering rather than wellness – Current models are built on telling people, even subtly, that they aren’t good enough.
  • Appeal to a limited demographic and audience – Only 25% of day spa goers are men (usually visiting with their partner).
  • Limited to traditional business opening hours and appointment times.
  • Massage accounts for 75% of treatments booked, yet day spa model is built upon
    delivering beauty therapies, often delivering a poor experience because of the global shortage of quality therapists (spa/beauty therapists cannot deliver a quality remedial massage).
  • A typical day spa does not offer a enough value for a membership program and is capped according to the number of therapy rooms it has.
  • A wellness mindset is starting to permeate the global consumer consciousness, affecting people’s daily decision-making.
  • People are more willing than ever to pay for experiences that have the potential to transform the way they live, work, and play.
  • The understanding that beauty is more than “skin deep” is gradually seeping into the global consciousness.
  • Emerging trends in wellness are placing culture (the zeitgeist) at the heart of the experience.
  • Consumers crave something authentic and meaningful — an experience that is in some way transformative, resulting in the improvement of physical or emotional well- being.
  • Healthy over hangover: Consumers across the board are seeking transformational experiences, connection and community. They want to feel happy, healthy and fulfilled.
  • A growing Australian middle class presents a market opportunity to bring wellness services to an unserviced market. Millenials and younger generations are continuing to spend less money on buying things, and more on doing things.
  • Nearly 30% of the adult population is committed to green and healthy living, a market share that has almost doubled in the last four years.
  • Experience customers have come to expect a unified online and offline experience

Some people do enjoy home-style spa experience purchasing shower system such as shower panel that has jets.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
