Wellness has a bigger, more serious place at the table. It has evolved beyond mere exercise and aesthetics, now embracing the broader spectrum of overall well being. What is truly remarkable is the profound transformation in consumers, particularly in their perception of ‘true wellness.’ Reflect back to 2019, the pinnacle of hyper-consumerism in a market flooded with products, from quirky trends like performance drinks to the surge of active beauty crazes–trends often lacking empirical research to validate their effectiveness. Fast forward to today, and the narrative has drastically shifted. The pandemic prompted a significant shift in people’s perspectives on wellness, as they now approach it with unprecedented mindfulness. No longer content with fleeting trends, individuals have become more discerning, actively seeking wellness strategies grounded in science-backed and peer-reviewed evidence. An Accenture survey of 11,000 people in 16 countries found that even in the face of financial uncertainty, respondents considered their spending on health and wellbeing an essential akin to groceries and cleaning products. This newfound consciousness is not only a personal endeavour but also extends to a broader concern for one another and the planet.

Anticipated as the dominant global wellness trend in 2024, the focus is set to shift towards prioritising longevity and fostering healthier lives. This movement champions the pursuit of extended and robust living through a myriad of lifestyle choices, preventative measures, and holistic approaches to well-being. It underscores proactive strategies aimed at sustaining health and vitality on a global scale.
