Oct 26, 2020
Last year, we began to cover the growing interest in self-care. In fact, between 2019 and 2020, Google Search Trends shows a 250% increase in self-care related searches. Men and women of all age ranges believe that self-care is an important part of making healthier lifestyle choices and many of them believe that self-care practices have an impact on their overall well-being.
These groups have started to avoid traditional medical practices (like going to the doctor) due to the rise in healthcare and general medical costs. To better understand and manage their health, they’ve started turning to the Internet to find alternative treatments, cost-effective solutions, and information that allow them to better meet their wellness needs on their own terms.

In 2014, the self-care industry had an estimated value of $10 billion. Now, as we leave 2020, it’s boomed to $450 billion. That’s astronomical growth. As overall trends in health and wellness continue to expand, the topic of self-care is everywhere. In fact, nearly nine out of 10 Americans (88 percent) actively practice self-care, and one-third of consumers have increased their self-care behavior during the past year.
