Health and Wellness Spas in Australia industry analysis

The Health and Wellness Spas industry is experiencing growth driven by several key factors. Increasing household discretionary income has allowed consumers to spend more on luxury spa treatments and comprehensive wellness experiences, boosting demand significantly. Simultaneously, domestic and international tourism growth has contributed to higher footfall in destination spas and specialised retreats, enhancing revenue streams and profit margins. Corporate demand for wellness services continues to sustain industry revenue as businesses increasingly integrate spa venues into their employee health and wellness initiatives. That’s why revenue is expected to expand 1.2% over the five years through 2024-25, to $643.1 million. This trend includes an estimated 15.2% jump in 2024-25, as heightened health consciousness among consumers has led to a growing preference for spas’ preventive wellness practices.

Trends and Insights

  • Increasing household discretionary income has boosted spending on luxury spa treatments and wellness experiences. Growth in tourism to popular destinations has complemented this trend by supporting demand for destination spas and specialised retreats, creating broader market opportunities.
  • Day spa revenue has decreased over the past five years, driven by younger demographics shifting towards holistic wellness practices. In contrast, destination spas thrive because of their immersive wellness experiences, supported by increasing household discretionary income.
  • Spa resorts offering health and wellbeing getaways tend to be farther away from densely populated areas because of the need for space. Australians favour destination spas and are more willing to travel for a complete health and wellness experience.
  • Competition is intense in popular spa areas like Daylesford, VIC, where spas innovate with niche products like chocolate and caviar in treatments. Medical spas offer surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, appealing to diverse consumer demands and preferences.
