Global Wellness Institute to release in-depth analysis on global wellness economy
POSTED 13 Sep 2018 . BY Jane Kitchen
The GWI last released research on the global wellness economy two years ago at the Global Wellness Summit in Tyrol, Austria
The Global Wellness Institute will release an in-depth update of its Global Wellness Economy Monitor at this year’s Global Wellness Summit, taking place at Technogym Village, Cesena, Italy, 6-8 October.

The research will update figures for the 10 industry segments that comprise the global wellness economy and include comprehensive, updated analysis on the size and scope of global wellness markets, including detailed, global regional-level analysis, trends and data.

“As an organisation, we are committed to empowering wellness worldwide and believe that providing in-depth analysis on every sector of the wellness industry is the best way we move the industry forward,” said Susie Ellis, GWI chair and CEO. “In order to fund the research and make it available free of charge, we rely on dedicated sponsors to underwrite the work.”

Eighteen companies have underwritten the Global Wellness Economy Monitor, which covers 10 industry segments: beauty, healthy eating, wellness tourism, fitness/mind-body, preventive/personalised medicine, complementary/alternative medicine, wellness lifestyle real estate, the spa industry, the thermal/mineral springs market and workplace wellness.

“The unprecedented level of support has enabled us to not only expand the scope of our research, but to also accelerate its delivery,” said Ellis.

Platinum sponsors include French clinical skincare company Biologique Recherche, and destination spa Canyon Ranch. Gold sponsors include online platform Booker by Mindbody and HydraFacial. The supporting Silver sponsors include AccorHotels, BodyHoliday, Cannuka, Lake Austin Spa Resort, Miraval and exhale, OM4 Organic Male, Performance Health, Pure, Rancho La Puerta, Serenbe, Six Senses, Subz3ro, Universal Companies and Westin Hotels & Resorts.
