Health Stores in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Apple a day: Industry growth will likely be limited by rising external competition from e-commerce

Rising incomes and shifting consumer preferences have translated into revenue growth for health stores in recent years. More than ever, consumers value the importance of active and healthy lifestyles. At the same time, higher incomes allow people to integrate vitamins, supplements and other health products into their daily lives. While this has benefited health stores, mounting competition from alternative retailers is offsetting the growing popularity of health and wellness products. A booming health and wellness market has incentivized a range of alternative retailers, from popular beauty stores (Sephora, Ulta) to pharmacies and big-box retailers (Target, Walmart), to expand offerings of health products. Still, industry revenue is rising at a CAGR of 5.8%, reaching an estimated $43.8 billion in 2023, when revenue will fall an expected 0.5%.

The Health Stores industry includes retailers that primarily sell health and personal care products.
