WELLNESS AND HEALTH INDUSTRY -

ASIA PACIFICThe healthcare market in Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected

to grow by 7.2% in 2019 due to the growth of smart

hospitals and developments in the home care segment

and medical tourism. This, in turn, has increased the

demand for technology, innovative healthcare

programmes, as well as drugs and medical devices based

on advanced technology. Conventional growth drivers

such as supportive government regulations and policies

are also a major boost for projected market growth in the

APAC healthcare industry.

WELLNESS AND HEALTH INDUSTRY -

INDIAIndia is known as the land of Ayurveda, yoga, and

alternative medicines, branches that have evolved

through the years.

The wellness industry in India has rapidly evolved from

being a highly unstructured ecosystem in the 90s to a

more active and growing sector today. Presently, India is

ranked 12 among the top 20 wellness tourism markets as

per the latest findings. The industry growing at a CAGR of

nearly 12% reach an estimated high of Rs. 1.5 trillion by

2020. Rise in disposable incomes and increasing

prevalence of non-communicable diseases are some

factors driving this growth.

India's wellness market is estimated at INR 490 Billion,

and wellness services alone comprise 40% of the market.

The sector has a potential to generate over 3 million job

opportunities. As per analysts, the Ayurvedic market is

estimated to be at Rs. 4,500 crore at present. The herbal

products forms 6-7 per cent of the overall personal care

products market currently while the estimates are that it

could grow to about 10 per cent of the segment by FY20

as the trend accelerates.

The products market is worth about INR 40 Billion with

over-the-counter products such as digestives, health

food and pain balms, constituting almost 75% the

segment. India has 9,000 units engaged in the

manufacture of AYUSH drugs.

The biggest markets for Indian herbal products are

Western Europe, Russia, USA, Kazakhstan, UAE, Nepal,

Ukraine, Japan, Philippines, Kenya etc. India has over

8000 medicinal plants found in the Himalayan region,

around its coastline, deserts and rainforest eco-system.

More than 32 Million people are practicing yoga in the

USA alone. The demand for yoga across the world is

growing exponentially.

The Government of India has set up a dedicated

Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani,

Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) with the aim of

providing impetus to these ancient healthcare systems

with a targeted thrust. The AYUSH sector has an annual

turnover of around INR 120 Billion. The sector is

dominated by micro, small and medium enterprises,

accounting for more than 80% of the enterprises, located

in identifiable geographical clusters.

According to industry experts, the market size of India's

beauty, cosmetics and grooming market will touch 20

billion dollars by 2025 from the current level of 6.5 billion

dollars.

With over 700 spas predicted to open doors in the next

two years, there's no doubt that the spa industry in India

is growing fast. With the extended global spa economy

now estimated to be worth $255 billion. With a CAGR of

40 percent per year, the spa industry is the sub sector

with the most significant growth prospects among all

personal care sub sectors in India.

The government is also making a push for programmes

promoting the wellness industry in India. The Make in

India initiative is expected to bring in more investments

and opportunities in this sector. The Ministry of AYUSH

with a separate department for Yoga, which has been

exempted from service tax, is another example.

Increasingly, many investors and incubators have begun

to offer their support and are mentoring startups in the

wellness space.

As part of Ayushman Bharat, 1.5 lakh health and wellness

centres were proposed to be set up in a phased manner

to provide comprehensive primary health care. The

funding will be shared by the state and the central

governments, with the Centre providing 60% of the

funds.

Choosing mental and physical health over everything

widens our horizon. This is one reason that wellness

tourism is experiencing a rise in India. Ayurveda, yoga,

meditation, rejuvenation are the main aspects that the

country takes pride in.

PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS OF

DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF WELLNESS

INDUSTRYFUTURE OF AYURVEDA WITH WELLNESS INDUSTRY

Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old traditional medicine system,

derived its name from two Sanskrit words, Ayur (means

life) and Veda (means knowledge or science). Ayurveda

isn't merely about medicine; it focuses on treating and

eradicating the problem right from the root cause of it, by

taking account of diet, lifestyle, routine, exercise and

circumstances of a patient. Ayurveda in India keeps its

focus on Holistic Healing i.e. purifying the mind, body and

soul.

Many recent studies and report clearly explain that the

revival of Ayurveda is not restricted to India and China but

from Asia to Africa and North America to Europe. Ranging

from diabetes to cancer and depression to cardiovascular

diseases, today, people are relying on Ayurveda to treat a

variety of physical, mental, and genetic issues.

The ayurveda industry market size in India is $ 4.4 billion,

or roughly Rs 30,000 crore (2018) and is projected to

record a CAGR of 16 per cent (13 billion ) by 2025.With its

wealth of 6,000-7,000 medicinal plants, India is the

second-largest exporter of ayurvedic and herbal

products in the world.

AYURVEDA PRODUCTS

The Ayurveda product segment (valued at approximately

USD 2.27 billion in 2016) has been flourishing in India for

many decades. Ethical products, classical Ayurveda

products, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and

personal care products (including cosmetics) are the

major categories being retailed. Some of the prominent

blockbuster products inc lude Chyawanprash,

TriphalaChurna, Ashwagandha, and Aloe Vera products.

Retail franchising has provided a big push towards the

launch of Ayurveda companies. In addition, e-commerce

is already playing a larger role in taking Ayurveda

products to the masses. Market places such as Amazon,

Flipkart, and other online pharmacies have collaborated

with large corporates to retail their products to the

masses.

AYURVEDA SERVICES

The Ayurveda services segment (valued at approximately

USD 0.75 billion in 2016) includes two broader categories.

Medical Services: This segment constitutes clinics,

hospitals, and traditional family-run vaidyasalas offering

curative services.

Wellbeing Services: From trying to achieve mere

physical wellness to adapting a "wellbeing" approach that

considers physical, mental/psychological, and spiritual

health.

Undoubtedly, the future of Ayurveda is full of

tremendously lucrative opportunities, but will India

maintain its supremacy in this domain or not is a pressing

question in the light of ongoing challenges and

shortcomings. First of all, quality Ayurveda is impossible

without quality herbs because, for the organic cultivation

of these herbs, there required farms and land masses

that were never exposed to artificial fertilizers'. Secondly,

though India is known as the cradle of Ayurveda, there

are not enough Ayurveda colleges and institutions where

the young generation can study this traditional science

and make a career in this field. So, if concrete steps are

not taken, there would be an acute shortage of Ayurveda

professionals. Hence, both Government and private

players should come forward to exploit future

opportunities through PPP model as Ayurveda has a

great potential to push Indian economy to newer heights.

YOGA AND MEDITATIONYoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice

that originated in India. The word 'yoga' derives from

Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the

union of body and consciousness.

According to a study conducted in 2018, over half of the

200 million Yoga practitioners are of Indian origin.

According to global statistics, the number of Yoga

practitioners is predicted to rise to a staggering 55 million

people, by 2020 in the USA alone.

Its capacity to support and enhance the remedy of a

varied spectrum of illnesses along with preventive

capabilities makes it the poster of the Wellness Industry.

The many health benefits that Yoga offers are said to be

effective for treating a majority of ailments, like

hypertension, insomnia, diabetes, gastrointestinal

afflictions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep disorders,

psychosis etc. Yoga also holds a very important position

when it comes to prevention of diseases, regulation of

blood pressure, blood sugar; hormonal changes and

balancing bodily fluids. Practitioners have a holistic

image of a fitness experience when they get associated

with a reputed yoga studio.

On a general note, it is widely agreed that regular yoga

practice increases the quality of l i fe. Besides

strengthening the practitioner, it provides them with

better mental clarity, encouraging them to adapt to a

healthier way of life and making them balanced

physically, mentally and emotionally.

It has also found its way into the travel & tourism industry,

popularly known as 'Yoga Tourism'. A sudden entry of

concepts like Yoga retreats and cruises in many Indian

cities like Rishikesh, Goa, Kerala, Pondicherry, Kerala,

Gokarna are home to a vast number of Yoga schools and

retreats, that cater to the various styles of Yoga and can

be chosen to suit one's budget needs.

HOW WILL THE INDUSTRY CHANGE?

• Yoga is predicted to be among the top fitness

trends in 2019.

• The revenue of the USA yoga industry in 2020 is

projected at $11.6 billion. The massive jump symbolizes

rapid growth and development of the fitness category.

• Yoga will positively influence therapies related to

children and of individuals coping with learning

disabilities and other mental and physical ailments.

• Incorporation of modified forms of yoga in

educational institutes and corporate establishments will

be witnessed.

• The years 2019 - 2020 are bound by the Yoga

revolution that will change education, healthcare, and

wellness segments. Yoga will be reiterated as a boon to

the modern-day world, physically, mentally and

economically.

Infact, Yoga has been ranked at number 7 in ACSM's

(American College of Sports Medicine) list of "Top 10

fitness predictions for 2019." Thus, it is safe to conclude

that Yoga as a trend is only bound to grow at a faster pace

and not stagnate anytime soon.

HOMEOPATHY WITH WELLNESS AND ITS

FUTUREAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO),

Homeopathy is currently the second largest system of

medicine in the world. Founded by German physician Dr

Samuel Hahnemann just over 200 years ago,

homeopathy's evolution is certainly worth exploring.

Homeopathy came to India in 1810 when Dr. John Martin

Honigberger, a French traveler who learnt homeopathy

from Dr Hahnemann, visited India and treated patients.

He treated Maharaja Ranjit Singh - the then ruler of

Punjab - with a homeopathic remedy Dulcamara while he

suffered from paralysis of the vocal cords.

In early twentieth century a large number of homeopaths

from Bengal proved several local herbs and trees for

homeopathic medicine. Dr.Sarat Chandra Ghose was a

leading homeopath of his time who proved several local

herbs into homeopathic medicine.

Standing Tall Even Today & Growing Exponentially

Today, homeopathy has an estimated market size of over

Rs 26,000 crore and is trusted by over 50 crore people

across more than 80 countries in the world. In the last few

years, homeopathy has grown three times faster than

allopathy @ 25-30% annually.

* In England, 42% British physicians refer patients to

homeopaths.

* More than a third of the French people use

homeopathy. A survey of French pharmacists found that

an astounding 94.5% reported advising pregnant women

to use homeopathy.

* It has been estimated that over 6 million people in the

US use homeopathy for self-care.

* Homeopathy is followed by over 10 crore people in

India. The country has aRs 3,600 crore organized

homeopathy market. There are over 2.25 lakh registered

homeopathy practitioners with 20,000 new homeopaths

being added every year

From 200 drugs in Hahnemann's time, today there are

more than 2,000 clinically-proved homeopathic

medicines in practice.

Government patronage

* The Government of India's Department of AYUSH

promotes Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani,

Siddha and Homeopathy since 2003. It paved the way to

form the Ministry of AYUSH in 2014 ensuring optimal

development and propagation of systems of health care.

* The Union budget 2017 allocated Rs 1,428.65 crore for

AYUSH ministry amid the government's increased focus

on promoting alternative medicines.

* Homeopathic treatments are now being offered by

insurance companies under their comprehensive health

insurance policy.

* The Government of India is promoting an integrated

system of medicine wherein All India Institute of Medical

Sciences (AIIMS) faci l it ies across India have a

homeopathic division.

From being an alternative system of medicine,

homeopathy today is a complementary system of

medicine and can be used alongside allopathy. Some

hospitals in India and Dubai already have homeopathy

department as part of their OPDs.

India has thousands of herbs, vegetables, insects which

are different from the Western world. These medicines

are waiting to be proved for homeopathic usage. We

need many young homeopaths to come ahead and prove

these medicines.

SPA, BEAUTY AND FITNESS- PRESENT

AND FUTURE TRENDSThe overall Beauty Business in India is growing rapidly

with the cosmetics market growing at 15-20% annually.

The retail beauty and cosmetics market in India currently

estimated at USD 950 million is pegged at USD 2.68 billion

by the year 2020.Personal care market to touch $ 20

billion in India by 2025. Specialized categories like

cosmetics, fragrance, men's grooming and skin care are

set to outpace the growth of generic categories and will

hold ~40-45% of the overall market by 2022.

The Spa Association of India estimates that the spa

industry is currently valued at around Rs. 11,000 crores

and will continue to grow at a fast pace. It is estimated

that the salon and spa business together account for 31

per cent of the total size of the beauty and wellness

market. The compounded annual growth rate of the

beauty & wellness business in India has been around 18

per cent.

An important feature is the tremendous growth of e-

commerce, with online stores also becoming popular

shopping destinations, especially for cosmetic products.

The internet has changed the way we do business. It is

estimated that India will be the fastest growing e-

commerce market.

Scientific techniques and modern beauty concepts are

influencing the business, giving rise to vast varieties of

beauty products. Men's personal care and anti-ageing

products are slated for growth.

An important challenge for the beauty industry in 2018

will be the need for professionally qualified personnel.

Beauty care as a service sector offers great scope for

employment and entrepreneurship for women. This is

one area where government direction, assistance and

encouragement are needed. It is necessary to learn

about the market and make use of changing conditions,

like the internet, commercial advertising methods, e-

commerce, different business models, etc.

Products and services are needed for the global market

and this requires efforts at various levels. Markets need

to be explored. Presenting the products in a globally

attractive manner is also essential, along with knowledge

of the demands of the global market.

Government can provide support in identifying markets,

trade and promotions. Skill development and vocational

training in beauty and wellness need to be geared, not

only for the international market, but also to compete

with international brands in the Indian market. Our

traditional knowledge of herbal healing is a real boon, but

it needs to be related to modern demands and

techniques.

The Indian fitness market: Size and Scope

At the end of FY2018, revenues in the Indianfitness

market amounted to USD 908million. Further growth in

the segment, expected at a CAGR of 9.3% between 2018

and 2022, is expected to take the total market value to a

whopping USD 1,296 million in 2022.Revenue is expected

to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2018-2022) of 9.3 %

resulting in a market volume of US$1,296m in

2022.However, a fact worth noting is that a major portion

of these revenues will be driven by the consumption of

fitness wearables.

Simultaneously, the number of upscale fitness centres is

growing at a pace similar to the rapid rise in disposable

income among consumers between the ages of 20 to 45

years old.

" The Indian fitness industry is also helping bring

about a much-needed revolution in the country that's

triggered by the increasing number of cases of obesity,

diabetes, and heart disease.

" Spending money on gym memberships, which

was earlier perceived to be a luxury, is now becoming a

way of life for several people.

" Furthermore, there is an increasing number of

people in tier 2 and tier 3 cities looking for wellness and

fitness solutions, with most men opting for muscle-

building training and women for cardio-vascular and

strength training.

" A new corporate culture wherein companies

provide fully-equipped gyms and health clubs to

employees in the office is enabling many people to look at

fitness in a new light- as a fun way to destress after a long

day at work rather than a task that must be completed.

" The hospitality industry is also following the

trend, with hotels in smaller cities providing gym facilities

to guests. Prompted by this trend of greater demand for

fitness amenities, gyms, health clubs have become

almost standard features at new residential complexes

that are being built, not only in metros and tier 1 cities,

but in tier 2 cities as well.

" At the same time, there is also a greater demand

among consumers for home gym equipment and

services being sold through online portals and mobile

apps, along with the ability to access gym trainers, fitness

experts, and nutritionists etc.

" Moreover, people are also increasingly

becoming aware of the many merits of working out

regularly, such as reducing stress, anxiety, and

depression, and keeping other diseases at bay.

All of these points towards a brighter future for India's

fitness industry, while enabling consumers to lead

healthier lives.

ACUPUNCTURE, NATUROPATHY, REIKI

AND OTHER TRADITIONAL THERAPIES

Many different areas make up the practice of

complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

Alternative therapies refer to a broad group of natural

and spiritual healing methods that are different than the

conventional western medicine (or pharmaceutical

medicine). Many of these healing methods have been

used for centuries in many different cultures. A few

examples are Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Aromatherapy,

Herbal therapy, Meditation, Naturopathy, Traditional

Chinese Medicine (TCM), etc.

Although traditional medicine, including Antibiotics and

Allopathy, are still preferred by the majority of

individuals, alternative therapies like Acupressure and

Reiki are rapidly gaining momentum, and are even

recommended by several reputed doctors to their

patients. The reason for this slow but sure shift is that

while traditional medicine is effective in an emergency, it

is usually quite expensive, and often, has severe side

effects.

In India, at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Science)

now it is compulsory to follow these traditional

alternative therapies along with their western

treatments.

Alternative therapies like Meditation, Chi Organiser,

Aromatherapy and Reiki, are designed to work on the

mind- the control centre of the entire body. They help one

achieve inner stability and perspective by centering one's

thoughts, removing negativity and volatility and inducing

a change in the person's very being. On the other hand,

therapies such as Acupressure, Power Yoga, Chiropractic

treatment, work on the physical body, helping trigger

specific senses, nodes, through pressure points that

awaken the human body's self-healing capabilities.

Thanks to their incredible health benefits which not only

affect the body but also, the mind and soul, these

therapies have found immense popularity.

According to WHO forecast, the global herbal market

would be worth $5 trillion by the year 2050. As of today,

Europe and the United States are two major herbal

product markets in the world, with a market share of 41%

and 20%, respectively.

Today, several start-ups have also begun delving into the

world of alternate therapy, by providing preventive and

holistic treatments, connecting healers with seekers,

creating well researched exclusive content to shed light

on these lesser known methods of treatment

As per WHO's recent document " WHO Traditional

Medicine Strategy 2014-2023, 103 countries have

recognized "Acupuncture" as an independent System of

Medicine.(Only India is deprived of the system which was

originated in India ) . As per recent stat ist ics

"Acupuncture" is the largest growing Medical System in

the world, next to Allopathy. WHO has also published

definite training guide lines for "Acupuncture ".There are

around one lakh or more passionate acupuncturists are

practicing in India.The Global Market for Acupuncture is

expected to reach USD 24551.6 million by the end of

2023, as per a latest report by Market Research Future

(MRFR). The Acupuncture Industry is projected to expand

at 14.50 % CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2023).

The miraculous healing technique, which he called Rei Ki,

with Rei meaning 'Universal' and Ki meaning 'life

force'.Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle

that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by

means of touch, in order to activate the natural healing

processes of the patient's body and restore physical and

emotional well-being.For those who are already affected

by heart problems, Reiki is a boon and not only reduces

their BP, but also helps them become a calmer and

happier person.

DIET, NUTRITION BALANCE FOOD AND

HEALTHY LIVING -FUTURE TRENDS

According to the Global Nutrition Report 2018, India is

facing a major malnutrition crisis as it holds almost a third

of world's burden for stunting.Nearly 47 million or 4 out

of 10 children in India are not meeting their full human

potential because of chronic undernutrition or stunting.

With 46.6 million children who are stunted, India tops the

list of countries followed by Nigeria (13.9 million) and

Pakistan (10.7 million),as per the Global Nutrition Report

2018

Stunting, or low height for age, is caused by long-term

insufficient nutrient-intake and frequent infections.India

also figures among the set of countries that has more

than a million overweight children. The other nations are

China, Indonesia, India, Egypt, US, Brazil and Pakistan.Of

the 38.3 million children globally overweight, 5.4 million

are in South Asia and 4.8 million are in East Asia.

Overweight and obesity are on the rise in almost every

country, with two billion of the world's seven billion

people now overweight or obese and a less than one per

cent chance of meeting the global target of halting the

rise in obesity and diabetes by 2025.In India, 16 per cent

of adult men and 22 per cent of adult women are

overweight.

Global organic food market stood at $ 110.25 billion in

2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.15per cent,

in value terms, during 2017 - 2022, to reach $ 262.85

billion by 2022.According to the Agricultural and

Processed Food Products Export Development Authority

(APEDA), the demand for Indian organic food products is

on the constant increase worldwide as India exported

organic products worth $515 million in the financial year

2017-18, from $370 million in 2016-17.

With the World Health Organisation calling for a complete

removal of trans fat from the food supply by 2023, the

edible oil industry, bakeries and halwais in India,

including HalwaiAssociation and Hotel and Restaurant

Association of Northern India, too, have pledged to do

their bit, committing to phase it out by 2022 with the

pledge 'India@75 - freedom from trans-fat by 2022.As far

as trans-fat is concerned, we are coming up with

regulations where edible oil cannot have more than two

percent of trans fat and final food or bakery product will

have not more than 0.5 percent. As soon as these

standards are put in place, businesses will have to adhere

to it and if they don't, it will be a violation of the Food

Safety Act and they will be liable for prosecution

Fifteen companies from the packaged food industry -

NestleNSE 1.27 %, Mapro, MTR, BritanniaNSE 0.33 %,

Bikanervala, Patanjali, Bagrry's, Hindustan Unilever,

Weikfield, Kraft Heinz, Del Monte, Haldiram's, Kellogs, ITC

and Marico - have signed up with voluntary commitments

to begin reducing salt and sugar in their products by

2020.

In India we eat much more salt in our food. While the

recommended amount is not more than one teaspoon of

salt per day an adult on an average, studies says twice the

amount is actually used. We have a whole lot of salty

snacks and evening snacking is a persistent habit… most

snacks are high in fat and salt," says Sheela Krishna

swamy, noted dietician and national president, Indian

Dietetic Association.

Right nutritional behavior and dietary choices are needed

to achieve dietary goals. The following 15 dietary

guidelines provide a broad framework for appropriate

action as given by National Institute of Nutrition, India:

1. Eat variety of foods to ensure a balanced diet.

2. Ensure provision of extra food and healthcare to

pregnant and lactating women.

3. Promote exclusive breastfeeding for six months and

encouragebreastfeeding till two years or as long as one

can.

4. Feed home based semi solid foods to the infant after

six months.

5. Ensure adequate and appropriate diets for children

and adolescents, both in health and sickness.

6. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.

7. Ensure moderate use of edible oils and animal foods

and very less use of ghee/ butter/ vanaspati.

8. Avoid overeating to prevent overweight and obesity.

9. Exercise regularly and be physically active to maintain

ideal body weight.

10. Restrict salt intake to minimum.

11. Ensure the use of safe and clean foods.

12. Adopt right pre-cooking processes and appropriate

cooking methods.

13. Drink plenty of water and take beverages in

moderation.

14. Minimize the use of processed foods rich in salt, sugar

and fats.

15. Include micronutrient-rich foods in the diets of elderly

people to enable them to be fit and active. Senior citizens

need more of vitamins and minerals toremain healthy

and active

MUSIC THERAPY FOR HOLISTIC HEALINGMusic is medicine. According to Cancer Research UK

(2018), benefits of music therapy include:

• Increased expression of emotions

• Increased coping with symptoms of a disease and its

treatment

• Increased relaxation and feelings of comfort

• Improved emotional and physical well being

• Increased self-confidence and self esteem

• Increased or rekindled sense of creativity

C o m m o n g o a l s i n m u s i c t h e ra py, a re t h e

development of:

• Communication skills (using vocal/verbal sounds and

gestures)

• Social skills (making eye contact, turn-taking, initiating

interaction, and self-esteem)

• Sensory skills (through touch, listening, and levels of

awareness)

• Physical skills (fine and gross motor control and

movement)

• Cognitive skills (concentration and attention, imitation,

and sequencing)

• Emotional skills (expression of feelings non-verbally)

While most of us would agree that music can be relaxing,

how is relaxation promoted with music therapy?

• Music can lead to relaxation of tense muscles .When

you allow your muscles to relax and loosen your body,

your mind relaxes too

• Listening to music can also enhance other stress-

relieving activities

• Music can also help the brain reach a meditative state

• Music triggers activity in the same part of the brain that

releases dopamine (the 'pleasure chemical')

• Music triggers networks of neurons into an organized

movement

• Learning a musical instrument can improve fine motor

and reasoning skills

• Your heartbeat changes to mimic the music that you

listen to

17.3 Million American adults had at least one episode of

major depression every year, making it one of the most

common conditions in the United States. Music therapy

has been suggested as the best complementary therapy

for depression even than meditation.

Maybe all you need to feel better is some time to relax

and listen to some of your favorite songs. Music can be a

powerful solution to solving small and large problems,

reaching goals more easily and quickly, and living an

overall happier life.

T E C H N O L O G Y A N D W E L L N E S S

INDUSTRYTechnology is the biggest factor supporting the scope for

the wellness apps industry. With the consumers coming

back for health related information, fitness graphs, diet

schedules, tips and tricks etc, the market is booming as it

is estimated to be worth USD 90.49 Billion by 2022,

registering a CAGR of 33.7%, according to a report by

Markets And Markets.

In the upcoming year, there will be a huge impact on

healthcare sector with two of the most talked about

technologies - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain.

In addition, within the AI framework, machine learning

will further strengthen human and machine interaction.

This would create an impact on diagnostics, risk analytics

and drug discovery verticals. According to the estimates

of a Frost & Sullivan Survey in 2018, AI for healthcare

(IT application) market is expected to cross USD 1.7 billion

by the end of 2019 and projected to achieve CAGR of 68.5

percent by 2022.

Big Data to result in preventive care

Healthcare industry is getting comfortable with data

management. Thus, it is expected to see analytics

solutions which will strive to investigate treatment

viability, drug utilisation, and self-care programmes

specific to chronic conditions. It is expected that almost

50 percent of healthcare companies would have

resources to access, share and analyse real world data for

individual conditions. In addition, several researchers

have found that the adoption of big data is projected to

touch USD 34.27 billion by 2022.

Blockchain to bring healthcare efficiencies

Blockchain Technology is expected to help in solving

security problems related to data exchange. Blockchain

has the tendency to provide faster access to big amount

of data that provides improved patient experience on real

time basis.

The other ways in which the technology is going to make

an impact on healthcare providers are by streamlining

and providing transparency in processes, eliminating

intermediaries wherever possible, providing a guard

against counterfeit drugs and reducing unnecessary

healthcare costs.

Cloud technology to change the healthcare scenario

Cloud Computing has already become necessary in

healthcare sector. Last few years marked the beginning

of Cloud Computing in healthcare industry. Many

hospitals are changing their everyday processes by

including electronic health records and digital paper

filling work.

Cloud Computing is set to evolve the way healthcare

industry works. It is going to provide the quickest and

easiest access to business applications and customer

relationship management. Moreover, it offers large

storage facility for clinical and non- clinical records with

an enhanced security environment.

Innovative Insurance models for preventive

healthcare

Insurance models play a crucial role in healthcare payer

industry. Undoubtedly, the healthcare insurance policies

that are available today do not meet the personalised

needs of an individual. To ensure better growth prospects

of the industry, companies are focusing on providing

personalised healthcare policies that are driven by data

and IoT to reduce potential claims.

S O C I A L M E D I A A N D W E L L N E S S

INDUSTRY

As per WHO there are more than 4 billion mobile phone

subscribers globally, two-thirds of them in developing

countries, with the fastest in Africa. This means that

people in developing parts of the world often have similar

levels of access to social media as those in industrialized

nations

Three billion people, around 40% of the world's

population, use online social media - and we're spending

an average of two hours every day sharing, liking,

tweeting and updating on these platforms, according to

some reports. That breaks down to around half a million

tweets and Snapchat photos shared every minute.

How does social media affect your mental health?

• Social media is more dangerous to young people's

mental health than alcohol or drugs.

• The negative effects of social media have been well

documented, with even Facebook executives admitting

that the platform may pose a risk to users' emotional

well-being.

THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS

• A number of studies have

found an association between

s o c i a l m e d i a u s e a n d

depression, anxiety, s leep

problems, eating issues, mental

health issues, eye problem, and

increased suicide risk, warn

researchers from the University

of Melbourne's National Centre

of Excellence in Youth Mental

Health, in an article on The

Conversation.

• Another link has been made between sleep disruption

caused by excessive mobile phone use at night and

depression and unhappiness.

• A study published in The Lancet Psychiatry found people

who spend the night checking social media are more

likely to suffer from mood problems such as neuroticism

and bipolar disorder, and rate themselves as less happy

and more lonely.

• To counter this, Professor Daniel Smith, from the

University of Glasgow, who led the research, suggested a

10pm cut-off point for mobile use would give the average

adult time to wind down before switching off the lights.

THE POSITIVE EFFECTS

The same University of Missouri study that found a link

between Facebook use and depression also found that

people who use the platform primarily to connect with

others do not experience the negative effects. "In fact,

when not triggering feelings of envy, the study shows,

Facebook could be a good resource and have positive

effects on well-being.

There is also compelling evidence that social media can

benefit people already dealing with mental health issues

by helping them build online communities that provide a

source of emotional support.

Research suggests that the manner in which social media

is used is key to determining if it likely to have a positive or

negative impact on well-being. For example, active, as

opposed to passive, social media use can be beneficial,

say the Melbourne researchers. "Although browsing

Instagram has been associated with increased

depression, talking to others online increases life

satisfaction," they say.

Are children more affected than adults?

For young people, who spend on average far more time

than over-25s on social media, the problem appears even

more serious.The proportion of 12 to 15-year-olds who

reported having been bullied on social media has nearly

doubled from 6% to 11% since 2016.

Separate research published in the American Journal of

Preventive Medicine in 2017 examined whether young

people's use of 11 social media sites - Twitter, Google+,

YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, Vine,

Snapchat, Facebook and Reddit - correlated with their

"perceived social isolation".

"Unsurprisingly, it turned out that the more time people

spent on these sites, the more socially isolated they

perceived themselves to be. And perceived social

isolation is one of the worst things for us, mentally and

physically," says Forbes.

In short, Internet and Social Media presents potential

benefits as well as new risks to individual users. The

effects of Internet on well-being largely depend on

individual personal characteristics, and in particular age,

capabilities, culture and beliefs. Hence, it is the

combination of individuals' online activities and their

own personal characteristics that explains why the use of

Internet has stronger positive effects for some

individuals and social groups than others

EIGHT DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS- FOR

STUDENTS, OFFICE AND WORK PLACE,

AND FAMILY LIFE

"Happiness," "wellness," "well-being", the terms get used

interchangeably but distinctions are emerging: wellness

connotes a state of overall health, while happiness is a

more perceptual concept - how people feel about and

experience their daily lives. There are eight dimensions of

wel lness : occupat ional , emot ional , sp i r i tua l ,

environmental, financial, physical, social, and intellectual.

Each dimension of wellness is interrelated with another.

Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum

health. One can reach an optimal level of wellness by

understanding how to maintain and optimize each of the

dimensions of wellness.

• Emotional Wellness relates to understanding your

feelings and coping effectively with stress.

• Environmental Wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle

that is respectful of our surroundings..

• Financial Wellness involves the process of learning how

to successfully manage financial expenses.

• Intellectual Wellness involves having an open mind

when you encounter new ideas and continuing to expand

your knowledge.

• Occupational Wellness is about enjoying your

occupational endeavors and appreciating your

contributions. This dimension of wellness encourages

personal satisfaction and enrichment in one's life

through work.

• Physical Wellness relates to maintaining a healthy body

and seeking care when needed.

• Social Wellness helps you perform social roles

effectively and comfortably, and create a support

network.

• Spiritual Wellness allows you to develop a set of values

that help you seek meaning and purpose.

KEY WELLNESS TREND ACROSS GLOBE

2019

As an increasing number of both business and leisure

traveler's value healthy food, fitness, and a mind-body

balance, the wellness tourism industry is only going to

develop further. Here's what to expect in 2019 and

beyond.

1. Hospitality hybrids

Five, ten-plus years ago, when wellness started ramping

up, first, every hotel needed a nice gym; then it was

having a spa that became standard; and now, we've

gotten very far beyond that. It's not just an amenity, but

wellness is integrated throughout the hotels.

One of the most recent and aggressive in this trend is

Hyatt, which acquired boutique fitness and wellness

brand, Exhale; as well as wellness resort and spa

operator, Miraval

Other hospitality brands have partnered with companies

in the fitness space, such as Westin Hotels with Peloton;

Fairmont Hotels and Technogym; Shangri-La and

Lululemon; and Mandarin Oriental Hotels and the Mayo

Clinic. Equinox, which runs 82 fitness clubs, will be

entering the luxury hotel sector with plans to open 50

locations worldwide.

2. Emerging destinations

Wellness travel can draw travelers to under-visited

regions, giving new destinations the opportunity to tap

into the growing business.

Wellness tourism growth is very much a tale of

developing markets, with Asia-Pacific, Latin America-

Caribbean, Middle East-North Africa, and sub-Saharan

Africa all clocking robust gains, and accounting for 57

percent of the increase in wellness trips since 2015. Over

the past five years, Asia is the number one growth sector

in both wellness tourism trips and revenues, where trips

grew 33 percent in two years, to 258 million annually.

3. Evolving the transportation sector

The shift over the last five years with airlines has been just

as big as the hospitality sector. Airports have been

rethinking infrastructure to include green spaces and

natural light. Additional airport wellness offerings on the

rise include: "silent airports," yoga rooms, in-transit

fitness clubs, therapy dogs, napping pods and suites,

treadmill desks, and designated terminal walking circuits.

In lounges, business and first-class travelers have access

to spa and mediation sessions and space for yoga.

Meanwhile, on the plane, menus are changing to include

healthier options. Some airlines are also experimenting

with circadian lighting to prevent jet lag.

In the future, there will be a lot more attention on the air

system, because recycled air is the main culprit causing

many travelers to return home with a cold.

4. Localizing treatments and experiences

For a more holistic wellness journey, travelers are

increasingly looking to connect with destinations through

nature and local traditions.

Many travelers are interested in what a specific place has

to offer.

Parts of Asia offer ancient healing practices, such as

Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine. In Europe,

"some look to their bathing traditions; for example,

Finnish saunas, Austrian sauna aufguss, and Russia

banya .There is also surging interest in Nordic lifestyle

concepts such as hygge ("cozy" for the Danish and

Norwegians) and lagom ("balanced" or "just right" for the

Swedish), which can be incorporated into facility design,

g u e s t ex p e r i e n c e s , w e l l n e s s o ff e r i n g s , a n d

marketing/promotion.

There is also more demand to combine activities in

nature with wellness modalities, such as hiking to a scenic

location for meditation, or doing yoga or tai chi in an

outdoor setting.

5. Medical and Wellness Tourism Merges

Medical tourism has been big for quite some time, with

travellers crossing international borders either for better

or cheaper medical treatment. Some hospitals with a

focus on medical tourism now have patient rooms that

don't look that much different from a regular hotel room.

At the same time, wellness resorts, which previously

focused mostly on traditional wellness practices such as

spa treatments, thermal bathing, yoga and traditional

Chinese medicine, are getting more high-tech. At many

modern wellness resorts, expect to undergo a battery of

medical tests - from blood analysis to ultrasound scans

and even DNA testing. Following comprehensive

assessment, specialists will develop a completely

personalised treatment programme for guests.

6. From digital detox to high-tech wellness

A rapidly advancing space, tech companies are actively

entering the wellness sector, seeking ways to marry the

two industries which until now have mostly been argued

to be best kept mutually exclusive. Apple reports that

mental wellness/mindfulness was the No. 1 app trend of

2018, and Peloton has revolutionized the at-home gym

with workouts streamed live and completely on-demand,

while advanced skincare treatments such as micro

current facials can now be enjoyed without leaving your

couch.

7. Greater Variety in Wellness Retreats

Wellness retreats have been a key aspect of wellness

travel. The traditional focus has been on yoga and

meditation. However, as the wellness travel market has

grown, wellness retreats are now offering much greater

variety getting highly specific in their focus. There are

career-focused wellness retreats ,business-focused

wellness retreats, women's only wellness retreats,

wellness retreats catering to issues faced by men, and

wellness retreats that also combine cultural activities

such as writing, pottery, music, performance and

cooking.

As the wellness travel market grows, variety and greater

sophistication will become a constant trend. Those in the

travel industry need to keep a close eye on major

developments if they hope to stay ahead of the

competition and meet the needs of wellness travellers.

8. Ketogenic Diet

Despite the issues regarding consumption of fatty food,

people are taking up the ketogenic diet in order to fight

diseases like epilepsy. The diet is based on low

carbohydrate yet high-fat content. Its benefits are:

1. Killing your appetite via a healthy way

2. Aids in weight loss programs

3. Reducing harmful fat and adding essential fats such as

visceral fat and subcutaneous fat

4. Levels down triglycerides in the blood

5. Increasing the concentration of HDL or good

cholesterol that aids in fighting cardiovascular diseases.

6. Blood sugar level reduced thus helping in Diabetes

Type II cases

7. Aids in the treatment of metabolic syndrome

9. Athleisure

This is a typical trend where people are taking up clothes

that are comfortable to wear. The clothes can be worn

when one is going to the gym and or while going to the

office. The word is the hybridized result of two words

Leisure and Athletics.

10. Acroyoga

Like the above fusion, Acroyoga is the result of

hybridization between Yoga and Acrobatics. Performing

such art is really catching up with the crowd, but it is

tougher than conventional acrobatics and asanas

involved in Yoga.
