Health and wellbeing has become an increasingly significant consideration in our everyday lives over the past years. As a result, the wellness & spas sector has developed into a multi-billion U.S. dollar industry. Establishments such as massage parlors and nail salons have seen their businesses grow as consumers find ways to unwind from the stress of daily life.
Following the devastating impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many people became more aware of their physical and mental wellbeing. The closure of health and wellness clubs had a significant impact on the industry and the lasting effect on spas across the world can be seen in more stringent health and sanitary standards. However, only the revenue and performance figures in the coming years will show how significant and long-lasting the effects of the pandemic were on the wellness industry.
