Sports nutrition is consumed mainly by athletes to replenish their body water levels. Lifestyle and recreation users are increasingly favoring these products. Sports nutrition plays a vital role in enhancing the strength of athletes as it comprises various minerals, vitamins, supplements, and so on, which are produced by proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Sports nutrition products comprise supplements, protein drinks, carbohydrate drinks, protein bars, carbohydrates/energy, protein powder, isotonic powder drinks, capsules/tablets, and other supplements. These products are developed and consumed by athletes and bodybuilders to improve overall health, performance, and muscle growth. Sports drinks were commonly used by athletes to replenish body water levels. Bodybuilders are the leading users of sports supplements, which include energy bars and drinks, protein bars, and dietary supplements made with ingredients like creatine, caffeine, linoleic acid, and taurine. New product developments, a rapid increase in urbanization, and the growth of numerous retailers, health clubs, and gyms support this business expansion.
Global Sports Nutrition Market Drivers:
The global sports nutrition market is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period due to the recent increase in lifestyle and increased demand from recreational user groups. Also, as the number of health clubs and gyms increases, health awareness increases, and this market is expected to become active within the forecast period. In addition to this, rapid urbanization and disposable income increase as the purchase of sports nutrition products and healthy snacks increases, which are likely to accelerate the growth of the sports nutrition market as part of the diet. Athletes and bodybuilders have been the leading consumers of sports nutrition products worldwide over the years, but they have been widely adopted among lifestyle users. The main factors driving demand for sports nutrition products worldwide are rapid urbanization, increased consumer awareness of health, and increased disposable income for consumers. Developing countries have enormous growth potential in sports nutrition products due to increased disposable income and a high proportion of youth.
Furthermore, the easy accessibility of nutritional supplements plays a vital role in the growth of the market. The advent of electronic commerce has increased sales of these products, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil. In addition, various companies in the market are starting their businesses through electronic platforms to increase their share. In developed countries, a high proportion of the obese population is the driving force behind this market. Moreover, as the number of youths with a career in the sports sector increases, the demand for sports nutrition products is increasing. It is expected to fuel this market within the scheduled period with a substantial increase in national and international sporting events. The availability of cheap counterfeit products and food security concerns are assumed to limit the growth of this market. An increase in demand during the development period may be an opportunity for growth in the sports nutrition market within the projection period. The expansion of distribution channels is presumed to promote growth in this market in the next six years.
Global Sports Nutrition Market Restraints:
The availability of counterfeits at an affordable price is a crucial factor in slowing the growth of the market. These products do not meet food safety standards. High levels of contraband and counterfeit products affect the sales of reputable companies and disrupt the market position. Therefore, the availability of these products and food safety standards will continue to limit the growth of this market. Additionally, due to negative consumer perceptions of ingredients such as stimulants, anabolic steroids, and prohormones, players in the sports nutrition market have struggled to gain consumer confidence.
