The spa industry in 2018 was a lot like the previous decade: Growth, growth and more growth. For the ninth consecutive year, the industry saw an increase across the board in key performance metrics, according to the 2019 U.S. Spa Industry Study.
The study, which was commissioned by the International SPA Association (ISPA) and undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) International Survey Unit, detailed growth in the “Big Five” statistics.
The spa industry once again set records in total revenue, spa visits, spa locations, revenue per visit and total employees in 2018.
Here are the key takeaways from the study, which debuted in 1999 and continues to be a critical tool to understanding industry trends:
Total spa revenues were $18.3 billion, a 4.7 percent increase from the $17.5 billion in 2017
Spa visits were up 1.6 percent to 190 million
Spa locations rose to 22,160, a 1.8 percent jump from the 21,770 in 2017
Revenue per visit climbed to $96.50, a 3 percent bump from 2017
