Q.5 CASE STUDY:
India?s wellness industry has evolved over the years, from being focused on
traditional medicine and preventive practices such as Ayurveda, Naturopathy and
Siddha to a more multi-dimensional concept of physical, mental and emotional
well-being. In the Financial Year (FY) 2015, the wellness industry in India was
valued at USD 13 billion. With a spike in health risks and growing need for quality
healthcare, the sector is poised to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of nearly 12% for the next five years and reach USD 23 billion by 2020.
Government?s consistent efforts to promote wellness have led to a resurgence of
interest in traditional medicinal and health practices. In November 2014, the
Department of Indian system of medicine and homoeopathy (ISM&H) was elevated
to an independent ministry, AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and
Homoeopathy). Ayurveda is the most predominant of all forms and is widely
recognized for its holistic approach to tackle health issues. With its wealth of 6,000-
7,000 medicinal plants, India is the second-largest exporter of Ayurvedic and herbal
products in the world.
The wellness industry is being driven further by a range of factors including India?s
young population, rising disposable incomes and an increase in the occurrence of
both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Strong economic growth in
the last few years has resulted in a transition in dietary habits, which has led to a
steep rise in lifestyle-related ailments. According to a report released by the
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), one in four Indians is likely to die of non-
communicable diseases by the age of 70. Never before have Indians been more
conscious about how fit they are and how they look. Changing lifestyle patterns and
nutritional status have been contributing to bringing the wellness industry to the
forefront. Rapid urbanization is further fuelling this trend. India?s urban
population, as per census 2011 was 31.16% growing at a CAGR of 1.2%. Urban
infrastructure is being re-vamped with the government planning smart cities. All
these factors together are shaping the future of wellness industry in India.
Currently, the industry comprises a range of segments ?alternative medicine,
healthy eating and nutrition, preventive and personalized health, workplace
wellness, yoga and fitness. To be more precise, the key sub-segments in the sector
are beauty care and nutritional care which constitute the maximum industry share at
the moment and this is likely to continue to be the scenario in 2020. Fitness centers
and Alternative Therapies are catching up and Rejuvenation too constitutes a small
share in the market. With significant scope for penetration in areas like nutrition,
rejuvenation and fitness, the Indian wellness market is a huge business opportunity
waiting to be harnessed.
Slowly and gradually Indians are becoming health conscious. Adopting natural and
ayurvedic treatment in case of diseases and health issues as well as adopting a
healthy lifestyle has become the focus. Considering the potential that this market
provides, Mr. Aman Sheth, a venture capitalist, is planning to open a chain of
naturopathy wellness centres across India. Mr. Aman Sheth appoints you as a
consultant to advise him on how he should go about starting this business, which is
primarily a service. Advice him on the following issues.
