5 Health and Wellness Service Franchise Opportunities to Watch in 2022
Many franchise brands are seeing huge success in this broad service segment.
As more and more people begin to prioritize self-care, the number of health and wellness franchises and individual franchisee locations have grown steadily. The depth of the category is wide, from gyms and physical therapy to massage parlors and hair salons - and each niche market is brimming with opportunity.
Last year, McKinsey and Company estimated the global wellness market to be valued at more than $1.5 trillion. And the industry is growing 5 to 10 percent each year. The impressive growth is reflective of increasing interest in being healthy and well - 42% of consumers consider health and wellness a top priority in their lives.
“With almost half of the populations across the globe regarding wellness as important to them, it's really a type of service that everyone needs. These businesses are seeing lots of demand, and high rates of retention,” said Scott Wendrych, chief development officer of FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers. “Having been involved in the health and wellness franchising industry for about 17 years, I've never honestly I've never seen a better time to be getting involved.”
