Thailand's Wellness Economy Hits $46.5B as Real Estate Jumps 66.7%
Phuket – November 12, 2026 -- Thailand's wellness economy reached $46.5 billion in 2025, with wellness real estate surging 66.7% to $1.2 billion, according to new Global Wellness Institute (GWI) data released at the 20th anniversary Global Wellness Summit in Phuket.
Overall growth slowed to 8.8% in 2025, from 11.6% in 2024, 16.9% in 2023 and 15.3% in 2022. GWI attributes the earlier double-digit rates to post-pandemic recovery after declines in 2020 and 2021. Thailand now ranks as the world's 26th largest wellness economy and the ninth largest in Asia-Pacific.
Wellness real estate becomes Thailand's fastest-growing wellness sector
The 66.7% expansion between 2024 and 2025 ranks first in Asia-Pacific and 11th globally for wellness real estate growth. GWI links the surge to wellness features moving into residential communities, hospitality developments and the built environment.
