Wellness products ranging from protein powders to pregnancy skincare have helped propel three companies into the top four of New Zealand\u2019s fastest-growing businesses.<\/p>\n

\n Moodi topped the 2026 Deloitte Fast 50 rankings with 926% revenue growth, followed by pregnancy skincare product company PURE MAMA in third place on 597% and GLP-1
\n activator Calocurb in fourth on 537%.\n <\/p>\n

The rankings, released on Thursday evening, suggest specialist health and wellbeing products are proving a fertile area for some of New Zealand\u2019s emerging businesses.<\/p>\n

Moodi, which began with functional protein powders, has expanded into electrolytes, drinks, hormone gummies and protein snacks, securing distribution through major supermarkets.<\/p>\n

PURE MAMA specialises in pregnancy, postpartum recovery and scar care products.<\/p>\n

Renewable energy developer Lightyears Solar was the only company to interrupt the wellness businesses at the top of the rankings, finishing second with 705% growth.<\/p>\n

Deloitte Private partner James Arlidge said successful businesses were identifying customer needs and adapting their products accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are identifying real needs, testing ideas early and using customer insight to shape what they do next,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The rankings measure revenue growth between the 2024 and 2026 financial years, rather than profitability or overall company size.<\/p>\n

Health and nutrition manufacturer Unipharm Healthy Manufacturing also topped Deloitte\u2019s separate five-year Master of Growth rankings, achieving 774% growth.<\/p>\n

BusinessDesk\u2019s Wellness Inc series<\/a>, published earlier this year, looked at growth of the wellness economy, including gyms and health supplement manufacturers.<\/p>\n
