Introduction
Everybody aims to have a healthy life. However, not everyone is ready to
have a healthy lifestyle. There are many challenges to live in one, including
the eating pattern that is not in accordance with the recommended nutrition
norm and little time for exercise. This gives opportunities for the presence
of wellness-based products and services.
Wellness is the antonym of illness, but the meaning is not the same as "not ill".
Wellness has a broad definition, in general, it can be concluded as an active process that leads
to options, activities, and lifestyle aimed at overall wellness, either physical, mental, or emo-
tional. Any wellness activity, beauty product, or healthy food, are included as elements in it.
The market share for the wellness industry is very promising. Global Wellness Institute (GWI)
research in 2017 has predicted the industry to value at $4.2 trillion globally with 6.4% growth
per year.
According to the research, Indonesia is highlighted as one of the wellness tourism destinations.
Through the tourist approach, this industry offered fitness services, including a local spa, health
activities, and tourism destinations designed to serve comfort space and nice weather. Bali
becomes one of its first target country.
In general, the high penetration of internet and smartphone users in Indonesia is expected to
lead the improving public's contribution and comprehensive in various wellness activities.
In this report, DSResearch partners with FITCO for reference and validation from the industry
players on the holistic figure of the wellness market in Jakarta as a national benchmark.
FITCO is an application made by The FIT Company that provides access to various active and
healthy lifestyle services. It consists of three pillars, Move (access to sports spaces and practice
rooms), Eats (healthy menu especially advised by nutritionist), and Shop (consumer products to
support the active and healthy lifestyle).

Methods
AIA Healthy Living Index in 2018 shows an increase in the satisfaction rate of health for Indo-
nesian people compared to the previous survey. Based on the report, Indonesian consumers
have the highest rate, among the Asian countries involved, in healthy food consumption for
better body shape, however, they still lack digital devices used to support a healthy lifestyle.
For further information on the urban wellness landscape, DSResearch has conducted a quan-
titative research using online-based data. A total of 600 respondents from all over Jakarta,
representing the urban community, involved in this questionnaire.
Respondents based on gender have equal proportion, 50% of each. The approach was in
order to make the research capable of capturing and comparing male and female consumer
characteristics in the wellness industry.
Most Respondents (over 60%) represent the young and productive, age ranging between
20-29 as the market share reference to analyze various modern products or services.
The survey also includes respondents under 20 years old to represent teenage and 30-40
years old to represent adults who are settled.
Most respondents (over 60%) have a monthly income of around Rp3-10 million. Around 20%
have a monthly income of over Rp10 million.

The Introduction of The Wellness Concept
The wellness concept has existed in Eastern Culture thousands of years ago, specifically in
India and China. However, the modern concept we currently know was discovered post World
War II.
The survey begins with respondents' awareness of the wellness industry. The term alone is
related to the health definition in a wider context, not only physical but also mental and emo-
tional. Therefore, in order to simplify the questionnaire, wellness is translated as a health
service or product.
Nearly 65% of respondents from Jakarta aged 19-40 are aware of the health services and prod-
ucts. In comparison to the male respondents with only 58%, the female respondents are likely
to have higher awareness (71%) of the health services and products.
In general, respondents above the age of 20 with various income rates tend to be more aware of
health products and services.

Aware of health services Aware of health services
and products and products
42.3%
Unaware of health 29.0%
services and products Unaware of health

Furthermore, there are two main factors with the most influence on encouraging people to be
more aware of the health services or products, those are (1) the will to start a more active and
healthy lifestyle and (2) the will to adopt a more organized lifestyle.
Both factors are internal for the power comes from within or personal. This is in line with the AIA
Healthy Living Index findings which show personal desire, it is due to have a better body shape,
becomes an essential factor.
The external factor in charge here is the good quality of the product or service and the afford-
able price. Meanwhile, people's recommendations and the popularity of the products do not
have a significant impact.
Looking at the numbers, there is a tendency that the adoption of a public figure or influencer for
health products or services does not really effective because the product or service was chosen
due to personal reasons by each consumer.

We also have further analyzed the data based on gender, age, and economic rate. Male and
female respondents tend to have a similar way to express interest in health products
or services.
The male respondents have more preference in quality, popularity, and exploration of new
things; while the female respondents tend to be more interested in the health products and
services with special offers, more variants, innovative and unique.
In terms of age, respondents under the age of 20 generally have different enthusiasm with those
aged ranging from 20-40 years old. For the youth, health products or services are only used to
spend free time by trying out the latest tech.
Regarding the economic rate, the respondents with a high-income rate up to Rp10 million and
above tend to be more sensitive with the cost and people's recommendations, while those with
a lower income rate are more interested in the popular health products or services.

Aside from those who understand, 35% of the respondents are not aware, not understand, or
not interested in the health products or services. We aim to further analyze the main cause. The
external factors are mainly the reasons behind the disinterest and unawareness.
Around 36% of the unaware respondents admit that the cost becomes the main external factor,
also the lack of special offers, captivating ads, and innovation.
In terms of internal factors, 27% of the respondents thought they are not in urgency for a health
product or service, while 17% of the respondents have not enough time to try out the particular
service or product.

When the reasons are further analyzed based on gender, age, and economic rate, costs still
become the main issue, including to those with income rate exceeding Rp10 million per month.
The finding is similar to AIA Healthy Living Index 2018. Indonesian population is the sec-
ond-highest in the Asia Pacific region having an issue with medical cost.
The interesting part is, respondents aged between 35-40 years old, who should be more con-
cerned with the health issue, are mostly (37%) not interested in the health products or services.

In fact, not everyone who is not aware of and understands the product or service will continue
to be like this. There are some factors to encourage them.
Cost becomes the main external factor. The 45% respondent admits that they are willing to pay
for the product or service at an affordable cost, comes with good quality, special offers,
user-friendly, and innovation.
Regarding internal factors, the will to live healthier with a more organized lifestyle has mainly
become the reason for them to adopt a health product or service.

old have a high sensitivity of cost issue, while the respondents aged under 25 years old said the
will to have a healthier lifestyle and special offers become essential factors.

The Use of Products and Services
One of the most popular ads in the '90s is about a woman having difficulty to breathe as if tied
with a rope and happen to recover and "free of tight rope" by drinking a certain medicine. The
ads are getting viral when the mother turns out to be a mother of the popular public figure.
Wellness has various kinds of products, services, and activities. According to the basic needs in
the previous chapter, we aim to dig further on the kinds of health products or services mostly
known by respondents.
Drugs 73,5%
Contraception 45.0%
Psychology Consulting 40.8%
Pregnant Women Nutrition 39.2%
Femininity 38.2%
Mental Health 32.0%
Meditation 26.7%
The oral concept, in terms of drugs, food supplements, and health supplements, becomes the
top of mind of mostly known health products and services.

Health Supplement
Figure 18. Types of health products or services that have been used [n=600]
22
Similar answers applied to the products or services that have been used or consumed. Health
supplements, drugs, and food supplements are products or services mostly used by consumers.
The availability of wellness services throughout the urban area supported the option in the
following order.
There are several considerations when a person decided to use a health product or service.
Decisions made based on demand become the biggest internal factor. Next, dominated by
external factors, including quality, cost, user-friendly, and effectivity.
Recommendations, along with public figure influence, are not really significant in this segment,
considering various demand from consumers. There is no significant distinction seen from the
consideration based on gender.
23
In general, more than 80% of the respondents have spent budget up to Rp250 thousand per
month consuming health products/services, while 19% of the respondents are setting up a
budget over Rp250 thousand per month.

Figure 20. The total cost of using health products or services per month [n=556]
Cost always happens to be the reason behind the consumer’s lack of enthusiasm to consumer
health products or services. Based on this, we question further on how much is the proper cost
to acquire this type of respondents.
For those who are not interested in using health products or services, although knowing the
presence of health-support products or services, cost and demand become the main factors.
Figure 21. Considerations for not using health products or services [n=44]
24
As predicted, wellness products or services under Rp100 thousand, even under Rp50 thousand,
is the amount mostly fit for consumers. Next, the amount that is properly fit for the budget is
around Rp250-500 thousand per month.

Wellness Digital Service
AIA Healthy Living Index 2018 showed a lack of digital devices adoption, such as fitness tracker,
or the online-based teleconsulting with doctors.
In fact, we have seen the urban respondents have a high understanding of digital applications
in the wellness sector. Undoubtedly, the health sector is entering the disruption era. Patients
are now capable to book consultations with doctors through an application. Outpatient, labora-
tory service, or prescription are now available through a one-stop solution with online trans-
portation service.

Halodoc has features that include teleconsultation with doctors, online drug

additional information.

The lack of promotions (34%) is highlighted as the main issue which encourages a highly adop-
tion rate of health application or websites, followed by the lack of use, cost issues, and the
popularity of products/services.

The easy use has become the most preferred subject of the health application or website which
is often used. In addition, information about the costs of services or products is also a favorite
subject for respondents.
It has to be understood that the teleconsultation process requires stable connectivity. Most of
the services in this segment have been optimized for the teleconsultation process in areas with
limited connectivity, therefore, to encourage better experience of using the services.
31
Satisfaction Rate and
Corporate Wellness
The AIA Healthy Living Index 2018 illustrates the value of the Indonesian health index, although
it has increased from the previous period, the number is still below the regional average.
In a contrary to this conclusion, respondents tend to be satisfied with the current stage of their
body wellness. The 39% of the respondents said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their
condition and only 15% of the respondents answered somewhat dissatisfied, dissatisfied, and
very dissatisfied.
24.3% 25%

The high level of satisfaction has possibility of backfire. There is a tendency they will not felt
"threatened" by his health unless they felt ill, including not regularly check-up their health con-
dition and have insufficient knowledge of the wellness product or service.
In addition to the personal satisfaction factors, 60% of the respondents said the current stage
of health is relevant or very relevant to the productivity in the workplace.
The health factors included are health insurance for personal and family, sufficient nutrition,
and easy access of wellness facilities.

Recently, the modern office trend continues to encourage business owners to provide facilities
or benefits that employees can enjoy. One of them is wellness or health benefit.
Related to productivity, a 2017 study by the University of California Riverside points out to every
employee participating in the wellness program in a company has increased the average pro-
ductivity of one workday every month.
Nevertheless, respondents revealed that only 16% of the workplace provided additional health
facilities, such as fitness center membership, food catering healthy, etc.
72.1%
Figure 31. The availability of health benefits (such as wellness membership or healthy food catering)
at the office [n=600]
Furthermore, 67% of the respondents said the office should provide additional health benefits.
In 2019, Harvard Business School Research examined among companies in The United States
that the health costs decreased by $3.27 for each $1 prepared for the wellness program, while
the expenses due to employee absence decreased by $2.73.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Starting a healthy life in Indonesia is not a simple matter. Although the knowledge and aware-
ness of wellness activities are somehow promising, the cost still becomes a burden for most of
the population in developing countries, including Indonesia. The average income per month
makes every penny in this segment to be calculated. Economic growth becomes a big driven
factor to fit this wellness culture into the daily life.
Speaking of utilization, meds, food and health supplements become the public's most con-
sumed product, while the wellness center's membership is getting increased as the facility
mushrooming the city. Despite the attention given to the preventive forms of health mainte-
nance, people are still focused on curative actions of healing after being ill.
The high rate of technology adoption, particularly in the form of a digital app, can be a catalyst
to encourage product knowledge and socialization or better health services in the region.
Although the satisfaction rate in health is high, it is possible for a boomerang effect to happen
because it does not encourage people to maintain health.
Basic Health Research Data in 2018 published by BPS shows the adult obesity rate in Indonesia
has increased to 21.8%. In fact, the health rate has a high influence on work productivity. Break-
through is necessary, including the health benefits by corporates, in order to encourage healthy
urban living.
