Mental health in America: Consumer wellness trends and opportunities in 2021

November 12, 2020

Let’s face it. 2020 has brought on more stress than any year in recent memory. Anxiety from the pandemic has altered everyday routines, election uncertainty has put people on edge and a global recession has made consumers think twice about how they are spending their money.

However, brands are listening to what is ailing consumers. Mental health and wellness have become a mainstream topic and brands are offering products that help consumers cope.

Check out some examples of how brands are reacting to consumer needs, as well as opportunities that exist in the wellness space:
