The Digital Fitness & WellBeing industry comprises various kinds of fitness apps, wearables and at-home digital exercising equipment like Peloton.

Meanwhile, the eHealth segment majorly consists of digital health solutions such as apps for consultations with doctors.
When we look into the future, the digital health market is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.59% until 2026.
