Though the product is used by international users too for this study considering Indian market:
The number of health conscious people is increasing with fast pace particularly post Covid, people are now prioratising health and switching to healthy lifestyle from a sedantary heavy way of life. Its also evident for the fact that in teh year 2023 the top most resolutions included Weight loss and excersice regime.
With rising awareness of consequences the junk based and sedantary life has done to health and with rising diabetic population in India millions of people are now driven for fitness.
The India health and wellness market size reached USD 156.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 256.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during 2025-2033. The rising consumer awareness towards consuming a nutritional diet of fruits and vegetables, adopting an active lifestyle, and performing physical activities like running, walking, yoga, cycling, etc., is stimulating the market.
The Yoga industry has several sub-sectors such as yoga studios, apparel market, equipment and wellness tourism. The latest to take the yoga-sphere by storm is online classes.
The demand for yoga exercises has clearly increased amid the ongoing pandemic with governments across the world enforcing lockdowns to check spread of the virus. People staying indoors 24×7 and working from home need to stay fit by exercising. With that, the yoga industry also underwent major transformation. Since yoga can be practiced in confined spaces, it has proved to be one of the most preferred exercises during lockdown even though yoga studios were closed.
The UN says Yoga is playing a significant role in the psycho-social care and rehabilitation of Covid-19 patients.
