- Today at the 18th annual Global Wellness Summit convening in St Andrews, Scotland, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) revealed new research on a wellness market with relentless momentum, worth 26% more than it was pre-pandemic. The wellness industry is now roughly 4 times larger than the global pharmaceutical industry ($1.6 trillion) and nearly 60% as big as all consumer health expenditures ($10.6 trillion). GWI forecasts that from 2023 to 2028, the annual growth rate for the wellness economy will be 7.3%, higher than last decade's growth rate of 6.5% and substantially higher than the projected global GDP growth rate of 4.8%.
