The health and wellness sector has perpetuated a narrative of fitter, stronger and more zen, which, conversely, is leading to burnout. Consumers are calling on brands to stop feeding into our anxiety-laden culture and instead help them slow down and focus on what wellness really means to them.

Our new in-house presentation uncovers the insights and rising trends to help you understand where the health and wellness sector is heading. From the latest developments in the fitness space to the new brands catering for different life stages, we explore how businesses are tapping into the nascent shifts in consumer mindset.
