Wellness business in India is growing impressively. According to the estimates of the Spa Association of India, spa industry in India is currently valued at around Rs. 11,000 crore and it will continue to grow at a fast pace. A report by KPmG had shown that the size of India’s beauty and wellness market was expected to reach Rs. 80,370 crore by 2017-2018 from Rs.41,224 crore during 2012-13.

Now, with the impressive growth and maturation of the wellness business in the country, the demand for innovative spa designs can also be expected to emerge as a trend, whose effects can of course, influence India’s evolving hospitality industry, as nowadays a lot many hotels and resorts in the country house spas in them.
