The following is from a recent study:

"The latest Global Wellness Institute (GWI) index attempts to quantify an expansive industry:

• The global wellness economy reached $5.61T in 2022.

• Spending is now 14% higher than pre-pandemic figures.

• Wellness is projected to be worth $8.5T by 2027.

Often referenced as a journey, the GWI defines wellness as the active pursuit of well-being. But, because there’s no final destination, consumers will try almost anything to reach this subjective state."

Here's the bottom line . . .

This "subjective state" everyone wants is true health. And people are desperate for it.
