What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Self Improvement Products And Services Market?
The escalating levels of stress are projected to fuel the growth of the market for self-improvement products and services. Stress levels represent the psychological and physiological strain a person experiences due to internal and external stressors, evaluated on a scale from mild to severe. Increased stress levels can be linked to intensified job expectations, growing instances of racism, financial concerns, feelings of social disconnection, and uncertainty about the future. Self-improvement goods and services help mitigate these increasing stress levels by providing resources for mindfulness, resilience enhancement, and personal growth, encouraging a feeling of self-determination and authority. For example, a study by the American Psychological Association (APA), a U.S.-based scientific and professional body, in November 2023 revealed that 81% of older black adults found the racial atmosphere in the U.S. stressful in 2022. By 2023, discrimination had become a significant source of stress for 43% of black adults and 40% of Latino/a/e adults, much more than for Asian (31%) and white adults (19%). Moreover, inflation was a stressor for 83% of U.S. adults, with a large proportion also naming the economy (69%) and financial issues (66%) as critical sources of stress. As a result, the surge in stress levels is propelling the expansion of the self-improvement products and services market.
