<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nThe wellness market has doubled since 2013, and grew 7.9% from 2023 to 2024, reaching a new peak of $6.8 trillion. All 11 wellness sectors now exceed their 2019 values, most by significant margins.<\/p>\n
Wellness ($6.8T) now surpasses other global mega-industries, including sports ($2.7T), tourism ($5T), the green economy, ($5.1T), and IT ($5.3T). It\u2019s almost four times bigger than the pharmaceutical industry ($1.8T) and is 60% as large as all global health expenditures (including consumer and government spending of $11.2T). Wellness keeps growing its share of the overall world economy: if it represented 5.7% of global GDP in 2019, and 6.1% in 2024, GWI forecasts that it will comprise 7.1% by 2029.
