How luxury spa market in India is preparing itself to go global

Wealth and luxury always go hand in hand. As a rising economy, India is a key part of the global luxury spa market. Emerging as a leading player in the global spa market, India has been featured with the biggies in the industries right after Europe and America. India has the potential to exceed the revenue of $154.6 billion by the year 2022.

Today, the wellness spa market in India is observing a steady growth of 8 percent in every quarter of the present business year over the past decade. And, this is not even the full potential of the reach of the spa market in India, which is still pretty untapped.

A spa is a commercial enterprise that offers top-of-the-line health and beauty treatments. A natural mineral spring that has some health-giving properties can also be considered a spa. The spa market is now a new product of the health market which had been used by various people over the centuries with different names. Today, it had been relaunched under a more uniform way by capitalists sensing the vast profit margin of their venture.

Let’s take a look at some of the Spa ventures and understand their revenue models–

The revenue model is quite unique as the spa offers pre-paid memberships that make the very affordable spa therapies all the more affordable.

Raas Devigarh
The beautiful castle was established in the year 1760, under the watchful eyes of Rajrana Sajja Singh II but with the passing time, it fell to tatters.

The spa is operated by the authentic British brand, ILA. The top-notch services offered is a cut above the rest and has many a recipient return after they get a taste of the luxury offered. The spa has also increased the revenue of the hotel by a good 13% that is increased every year.

Conclusion
Today, the spa market is urbanizing and expanding drastically, but is still barely coping with the demand. It is due to the awakening of the middle class to the possibility of the spa as an answer to their stress-related problems. This coupled with the new economic boom and the economic multi-use packages have aided in the growth of the spa market in India. It is also highly demanding among Bollywood celebrities from Alia Bhatt to Karan Johar as it aids one and all to wind down after a stressful event.
