Health and Wellness Research: 22 Years of Health Insight and Wellness Trends

The 2022 Health and Wellness Trends in America Report, now in its 22nd year, this report reports on the health and wellness marketplace and provides consumer insights based on extensive research of the U.S. This report seeks to measure and describe the marketplace for health and wellness products and services, the consumers who use them, their attitudes toward their own health and wellness and consumers’ expectations of corporate responsibility. In addition, it uncovers consumer motivations and the challenges they encounter in their pursuit to become increasingly aligned with a more healthy and balanced lifestyle.

The past few years have been challenging for consumers. They have had to deal with a global pandemic, a turbulent economy, historically high inflation, global political turmoil, food shortages, and empty store shelves. In response, consumers are taking inventory and realizing that aspects of their previous way of life may be unsustainable, which is prompting a reorganization of priorities information of innovative behaviors realigned with a more thoughtful, sustainable and healthier lifestyle. Therefore, when viewing trends within this report, it is important to note that some shifts in attitudes and behaviors may be reactive responses to current events while others have staying power and may be more permanent shifts.

That said, consumers continue to hold strong attitudes toward self-responsible health and are taking small but progressive steps toward incorporating healthier behaviors into their lifestyle. In addition, the methods they use to maintain their health span all aspects of consumers’ lifestyles from financial security and a positive mental attitude to stress management and keeping the earth healthy, expanding platforms for health marketing. Even further, consumers are making purchasing decisions based on a growing set of values-based qualities from toxin-free to fair trade. Therefore the need for an understanding of consumer drivers that affect behavior patterns has never been stronger.

Health and Wellness Segmentation Model Methodology

Development of the Institute’s Health & Wellness segmentation model began in 2009 by evaluating over 515 different attitudinal and behavioral variables, later narrowed to approximately 19.

A k-means clustering method was used. Cluster centers were defined as dense regions in the multivariate space based on a k-means segmentation of the attitudinal and behavioral variables from the Institute’s Health and Wellness Consumer Trends Database survey.

This segmentation can be used to identify and predict segment membership as part of a quantitative extrapolative analysis of future consumer behavior.

5 Unique Segments: each segment is mutually exclusive and is designed to have the maximum differentiation between consumer groups and the maximum homogeneity within each consumer group. The predictive accuracy is high at 92.2%.

The segmentation has been overlaid on third-party data sets such as Nielsen’s Homescan and can be used through the Institute in custom/primary qualitative or quantitative research.

The Institute's Health and Wellness consumer segmentation identifies five distinct segments
