Introduction, Executive Summary, Methods SECTION 01
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background For almost 25 years, The Hartman Group has applied innovative techniques from the social sciences to explore health and wellness (H+W) in the United States and to illuminate emerging opportunities for marketing H+W solutions to consumers. Our pioneering studies in 2000 and 2005 described the desire among U.S. consumers to regain control of personal and household health. By that point, our careful observations and analyses made it clear that what we were seeing was nothing short of a transformationin the scope of H+W itself and its role within culture. In 2007 and 2010, we bore witness to the emergence among consumers of a broadening desire for quality of life experiences across H+Wcategories as well as in areas that were less explicitly about H+W, such as in premium/freshfood and beverage products and the occasions on which consumers privileged them. • Our methods and frameworks have therefore extended beyond a conventional “consumer-centric” lens to embrace a cultural perspective. Revisiting the consumer state of H+W in 2013, this year once again we have integrated qualitative consumer ethnography, quantitative large-sample survey methods, and ongoing trends tracking. We have leveraged our previous work as well to deliver an evidence-driven, provocative, big-picture assessment of where H+W is today, where it’s going, and what it all means.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The World of Health + Wellness Consumers think, live and shop differently depending on where they are within the “World” of Health and Wellness. More than a consumer segmentation, The Hartman Group’s World model accounts for consumer engagement with the institutions comprising wellness culture and serves not only as a helpful way of recognizing how consumers may differ from each other but also as model of cultural change and the emergence and adoption of new H+W trends. All consumers participate in the World of H+W, behaviorally and aspirationally. “Core” consumers comprise the smallest segment (13% of adults). They are the early adopters, trendsetters, evangelists. In 2013, they described H+W as proactive and mindful in body, mind and soul. They privilege authenticity, sustainability, quality and knowledge and often serve as the source of this knowledge as they navigate retail and other sites of H+W decision making. • “Inner” and “Outer” Mid-level consumers together account for a majority (62%) of adults. They are not as intensely committed as Core consumers but are essential to the success of any “trend” – selecting, translating and adopting new ideas launched from the Core. As of 2013, they have solidly embraced ideas of H+W that integrate mind and body, self and community. The most involved of them have an eye on authenticity and ground their purchase decisions in a bank of knowledge, while those less involved are glad to rely on experts; in common, they value fun, enjoyment and quality, which typically includes the “experience” of shopping for and consuming wellness. • Periphery consumers (25%) typically understand that they should eat right and exercise, and even if they don’t act on these consistently, in 2013 they aspire to manage their health proactively, with a goal of happiness rather than simply freedom from illness. They turn to brands for perceived quality and consistency, and they may bow to price and convenience more than Core or Mid-level consumers. • But critically, today all segments for the first time share in a broadened, personal, proactive wellness perspective.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Living in a wellness culture Over the past decade, we have observed a shift away from a perfunctory, ascetic, reactive and compliant notion of wellness to one that is more experiential, positive, holistic, proactive and self-assessed. There has been a cultural shift – now complete for all intents and purposes – from “health” to “quality of life;” from reactive health to proactive wellness. • While consumer segments may continue to vary in their level of knowledge, their degree of influence and their intensity of engagement in wellness institutions, they now largely share the idea that H+W is about a higher quality of life for longer. This broadened notion of wellness has become a tacit part of culture rather than a lifestyle choice or an alternative movement. • “Feeling well” is driven by personal consumer practices of self-assessment and ongoing self-management. While enjoying fresh and delicious food – supported by, and supporting, good digestion – is today the dominant consumer route to health and wellness, being active (as opposed to more narrowly focused “exercise”), staying connected (with places as well as people) and resting well enable consumers to live the type of lives that they desire. • In 2013, feeling well is understood in terms of “balanced energy.” Three decades ago this phrase may have narrowly connoted new-age spirituality, and it continues to hold something of its legacy meanings connecting mind/spirit and body. Today, however, it has fully migrated, delineating the specific (but still evolving) way in which consumers understand and approach their day-to-day wellness goals.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARYBeyond the big picture • WELLNESS FOOD TRENDSConsumers continue to seek “fresh” foods with signs of less “processing.” These are fluid, consumer-defined concepts, and the relevant cues for what consumers will reject, accept or seek out vary by level of engagement with H+W (i.e., World segment) and evolve over time. How food is made and by whom is likely to gain greater consideration than simply what’s in it, with on-package and at-shelf labeling evolving to meet these requirements. • WELLNESS AT RETAILIncreased reliance in 2010 on discount, dollar and grocery at the expense of more specialized H+W channels has subsided as consumers return some of their business to specialty in 2013. At the same time, products offering wellness distinctions (such as natural or organic) have become so ubiquitous that alternative/specialty channels will need to offer more to maintain their appeal. • WELLNESS AT FOOD SERVICEWith consumers outsourcing more of their food preparation, they bring some of their H+W needs to restaurants and other away-from-home locations. Among other things, this means that consumers enter food service seeking offerings that will meet their self-assessed, personalized needs via customization. Fun and enjoyment are increasingly intertwined with wellness goals, leaving room for indulgent experiences to be perceived as healthy. • HEALTH MANAGEMENT Weight is still top-of-mind but no longer as central to consumer practice and urgency. Conditions whose presence is often assessed via self-diagnosis (especially relating to digestion and energy) have gained salience. What consumers look for in themselves is often conditioned by what they see in others. Because diabetes has gained exposure across social networks, engagement in diabetes prevention has extended to younger consumers. Consumers continue to seek food-based approaches to getting the appropriate vitamins and nutrients in their diets.

Living in a Wellness Culture SECTION 03
HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR LONGERCultural Transformation, 2000 - 2013 • In the time that we have been tracking H+W, there has been a broadening and deepening of the meaning of H+W from physical to mental and spiritual wellness. • Consumers began to take a more pragmatic, less disciplined and less ascetic approach to H+W by including fun and enjoyment. • Wellness has become a personal practice, with increasing self-assessment, personalization and internalization. • What used to be leading-edge, niche ideas have drifted into the mainstream (e.g., organic, elimination diets). • Today in 2013, there’s a cultural narrative shared by Periphery to Core consumers around an integrated and proactive understanding of wellness. • While some consumers are more knowledgeable, engaged, and influential than others, everyone is talking about feeling well through foods they eat, staying active, being connected, and getting enough rest. • The most engaged consumers are distinguished less by their personal outlook and more by their extension of wellness from personal practice to social project. • Welcome to Living in a Wellness Culture …
