Health & Beauty Market
The European health and beauty market is one of the largest and most dynamic in the world, driven by increasing consumer investment in appearance, wellness, and quality of life. This diverse industry includes:
Personal care services: hairdressing, skincare, cosmetics, massage, nails
Medical aesthetics & MedSpa treatments: injectables, skin rejuvenation, laser treatments
Fitness & wellness: gyms, boutique fitness, yoga and Pilates studios, EMS training
Weight management: diet programs, nutrition coaching, body contouring
Specialist services: lash extensions, tanning, spa therapies, and men’s grooming
Market Potential in Europe
Cosmetics & personal care: market value exceeding €100 billion, with both premium and affordable brands driving growth.
Wider wellness economy: worth hundreds of billions of euros, including fitness, spa, wellness retreats, and healthy eating services.
Fitness penetration: gym membership in mature markets like Sweden, the Netherlands, and the UK exceeds 10–15% of the population, creating strong franchise-ready demand.
MedSpa & aesthetics: non-surgical cosmetic treatments are a multi-billion euro and fast-growing segment, fuelled by greater acceptance among men and women.
Demographic tailwinds: ageing but active populations in Western Europe and rising disposable incomes in Central/Eastern Europe drive consistent demand.
