The Next Trillion-Dollar a Year Industry: The Wellness Industry -The Hottest Trend Today

Health and Wellness: A Consistently Growing Industry

Because of the rapid growth in the popularity of health and wellness companies over the years, economist and trend predictor Professor Paul Zane Pilzer, author, entrepreneur, economic advisor to two presidential administrations, former commentator on National Public Radio and CNN, educator at NYU, and trend forecaster has predicted and coined the term the “Wellness Revolution.” Paul Zane Pilzer believes that the health and wellness industry is the hottest trend in business today. According to Pilzer, wellness has skyrocketed from $200 billion in sales in 2002, to approximately $500 billion in 2007. This rapid escalation is attributed to people’s desire to stay healthy, live longer and make the most out of their lives. This desire has fueled consumers to make a lifestyle change and to patronize health and wellness products that are proven safe and effective in helping a person improve his overall health and wellbeing. Zane continues by saying that by 2012, the wellness industry will be joining the healthcare, food and pc industries up on the trillion-dollar industry bracket. One sector of the health and wellness industry that is expected to take leaps and bounds in the coming years is the direct selling and network marketing of health products and supplements that are safe, effective and offer a whole list of health and wellness benefits. In his book, "The Next Trillion," he makes clear why the Wellness Industry will grow to and even surpass the $1 trillion health care Industry (the sickness business) in the next ten years, as the wealth made from chronic illness and disease treatments will shift to the management, prevention and deficiency part of wellness.
