Report Coverage

This report focuses on the Health and Beauty Spa Industry including the latest trends and developments and factors that influence the sector. There are profiles of 25 companies including national chains and franchises such as Mangwanani, Amani, Africology Imbalie and Sorbet. There are also profiles of hotels that operate in the sector such as the Mount Nelson and One and Only.

The Health and Beauty Spa Industry

Spending on spa products and services had been growing in line with a growing middle class, booming wellness tourism industry and interest in healthy living and stress reduction. However, the coronavirus lockdown and travel restrictions have effectively stopped travel and tourism, which will have serious implications for the tourism and spa industries. The lockdown has seen all spas in South Africa close their doors. Many spas and beauty salons had already closed prior to the lockdown in order to protect their staff and customers. As an industry that comes into direct, close contact with the public, the spa industry will experience significant losses, even after the virus is contained, as customers may continue to exercise social distancing.

New Trends

Spas have responded to a rising need for mental wellness, stress reduction and improved health with additional services such as nutritional assessments, counselling, holistic personal wellness plans and coaching. Wellness tourism grew faster than other tourism, and there has been an increasing interest in alternative treatments such as yoga, reiki, mindfulness sessions and sound, light and water therapy. More spas were also offering medical aesthetics treatments, which include micro-needling, chemical peels, laser and intense pulsed light treatments. Other trends include demand for tandem or group sessions and mobile spas.

Opportunities for SMEs

There are many franchise and entrepreneurial opportunities in the sector including nail bars and mobile spas which have been growing in popularity at company events and wellness days as well as by people who prefer to have these treatments at home. Manufacturing and selling product ranges to spas and other retail outlets is an opportunity for SMEs.

Report Coverage

The Health and Beauty Spa Industry report describes current conditions, challenges faced by role players as well as factors that influence the success of the sector. The report profiles 26 companies, including franchise operations, Camelot Spa and Sorbet Beauty Salons, as well as national chains such as the Mangwanani group, Amani Spas, Africology and Spas of Distinction. Also profiled is the spa at The One and Only Cape Town, which was voted Best Resort Spa in 2016.

Health and Beauty Spa Industry

Total revenue in the South African health and beauty spa industry is estimated to have reached R1.54bn in 2016. The industry employed approximately 5,500 people and there are more than 700 spa facilities in the country. South African Spa Association (SASA) statistics reveal that many spas are linked to hotels and resorts and that more than 80% of spas are locally-owned.

Lower than Expected Growth

Industry growth rates for 2015 and 2016 were lower than predicted by the South African Spa Benchmark Report undertaken in 2014. This was in part due to general adverse economic conditions as well as a drop in government spending on conferences and fewer foreign tourists following government’s introduction of stricter visa requirements. Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s (S&P) both downgraded South Africa’s foreign currency debt to non-investment grade (BB+), also termed junk status, which could hamper the industry in 2017.

Niche Markets and Opportunities

The use of technology is on the rise with laser treatments, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy and face-mapping machines that analyse skin becoming more commonplace. The sector is increasingly targeting the ageing population as well as men, children and teenagers. African safari spas have become popular as have mobile spas that bring a spa experience to corporate events or to bedridden clients in the home.
