Portland, Oregon – November 21, 2024 – As the global wellness economy continues its rapid growth, the American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) is primed to help students and corporate partners harness opportunities in this burgeoning industry. According to the Global Wellness Institute’s 2024 Global Wellness Economy Monitor, the wellness industry is expected to reach nearly $9 trillion by 2028, expanding from $6.3 trillion in 2023. ACHS, with its extensive suite of integrative health and wellness programs, stands ready to equip students and businesses alike with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive within this dynamic market.
Key Findings in the Wellness Economy
The wellness economy spans 11 diverse sectors that encourage a holistic approach to health and wellness in daily life. Findings from the Global Wellness Institute reveal that wellness-related industries have recovered strongly post-pandemic, with nine out of eleven sectors exceeding pre-pandemic levels as of 2023. North America, Europe, and the Middle East/North Africa regions are seeing particularly strong growth, underscoring robust consumer interest in wellness globally. Projections indicate that the wellness industry will continue to grow at an annual rate of 7.3%, significantly outpacing the global GDP growth rate forecast of 4.8%.
Benefits for ACHS Students and Corporate Partners
- For ACHS students, this growth represents a significant advantage. By completing ACHS’s accredited programs in aromatherapy, herbal medicine, nutrition, and other complementary disciplines, students gain credentials that align with an industry offering unprecedented opportunities. ACHS’s experiential, online education model prepares graduates with the skills to enter the workforce or advance their careers in a wellness economy that is larger than the green economy, IT, and sports industries.
- Corporate partners can benefit from ACHS’s commitment to customized wellness education, leveraging ACHS programs for employee training and development. ACHS partners are better positioned to tap into this expanding market, meet rising consumer demand for wellness-based services, and foster healthier, more productive workforces.
“With wellness on the rise globally, we’re here to help our students and partners make the most of it. Our programs empower students with real skills for growing careers, and our corporate partners gain tools to support wellness in their workplaces,” ACHS COO, Ilana Rose Frigaard
These trends illustrate why ACHS is deeply invested in building employer partnerships and fostering professional pathways for graduates poised to shape the wellness workforce of tomorrow.
