Indian wellness grew to reach a market size of INR 700bn in 2012
Naina Lal Kidwai, high- lighted the fact that despite challenges, the wellness sector has the ability to generate three million jobs in India by 2015. Kidwai also called on the government to implement service tax and duty reductions to help drive growth in the Indian wellness sector. Tis comes as the industry faces the chal-
lenge of creating business models with a profit margin when there are limits on how much Indian consumers can spend. Aside from monetary concerns, the
16
conference also highlighted a desire to ensure an improvement in quality standards within the sector. It was suggested that accreditation and quality certification could drive higher wellness standards for consumers. Rapid growth is expected in the Indian well-
ness market, as outlined by a recent PwC study which suggests the sector could be worth INR 1tn (US$16.9bn, £11bn) in the next four years. Te latest PwC report can be found here:
