Demand Side Drivers
Source: PwC Analysis, Euromonitor, census India, FICCI
Growing urbanization
Increasing urbanization has the dual impact of higher
availability and awareness of wellness products as well as higher
incidence of stress-related disorders
Increasing cost of medical care is making the common man
explore options available under the wellness ambit
Peer pressure is driving growth
Improved health awareness, exposure to global beauty and
fashion trends and increasing media penetration are driving
growth in the wellness space
The need to look and feel good is gaining momentum,
especially among the middle-class
Lifestyle diseases
Growing incomes and a faster pace of life, increased sedentary
living, high work stress, rising pollution levels and consumption
of unhealthy fast food are factors leading to a rise in lifestyle
disorders
Demographic Trends
Young Population:
India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65%
below the age of 35
Currently, 63.38% of the population is between 15-59 years. The tremendous
growth in this segment is the target that drives the demand for this industry.
Increase in the number of working women is leading to women having to balance
both work and home life, which is resulting in them seeking fitness and nutrition
solutions to address the associated stress
