Health is no longer just a personal goal, it’s a global conversation. At ISPO Munich, this conversation is front and center, uniting leaders across sports, wellness, and technology. 

Bridging insight and action

To grasp the shifting attitudes toward health and wellness, ISPO conducted a comprehensive study titled “The Future of Sport, Health & Retail.” This research involved over 1,800 participants from eleven countries, revealing a significant move toward holistic well-being. People are now focusing on more than just physical fitness; mental health, sleep quality, and nutrition have become integral parts of their daily routines.

Building on these insights, ISPO Munich’s event program translates this knowledge into practical applications. Attendees can experience firsthand how these trends are shaping the industry and what they mean for businesses and consumers alike.

Insights from “The Future of Sport, Health & Retail”

The research highlights several noteworthy trends:

  • Holistic wellness: There’s a growing demand for solutions that address both physical and mental health, reflecting a more comprehensive approach to personal well-being.
  • Integration into daily life: Consumers seek health practices that seamlessly fit into their routines without adding complexity or requiring significant lifestyle changes.
  • Innovation opportunities: Brands that adapt by offering integrated health solutions can forge stronger connections with their customers, meeting their needs more effectively.

For those interested in exploring these findings further, the full study is available for download. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to stay ahead in a rapidly changing market. Download “The Future of Sport, Health & Retail” here.
