Abstract
Stress is the #1 health concern for Americans, and women especially say that
stress has an impact on their lives. As consumers look for ways to relax and
rejuvenate, they are increasingly turning to personal therapy sensory devices
for affordable stress relief within the comforts of home. This market covers
electronic, non-prescription, personal use devices that stimulate the senses
and offer therapeutic, as well as emotional benefits; for example, air
quality, aromatherapy, heat therapy, light and color therapy, sound therapy
and massage therapy devices (excluding vibrators intended for sexual use).
Packaged Facts conservatively estimates that U.S. retail sales of personal
therapy sensory devices topped $1 billion in 2006, a four percent gain over
2005.
More Americans are jumping into the driver' s seat when it comes to their
health for a number of reasons: Aging Baby Boomers are trying to stay active,
the cost of conventional health care is skyrocketing, acceptance of
complementary and alternative medicines is growing and health-related
information is increasingly accessible via the Internet. Personal therapy
sensory devices dovetail with these needs by offering a relatively affordable
and convenient remedy for the savvy consumer. As retailers introduce pricier
quasi-medical products to meet growing consumer interest in self-administered
treatment, along with more upscale products for consumers who want to bring
the spa experience home, Packaged Facts expects the market for personal
therapy sensory devices to grow to $1.2 billion by 2011.
