Published On : Aug 30, 2015
One of the key factors driving the global sports nutrition market is growing healthcare awareness around the world. The global sports nutrition market is also driven by greater urbanization, a widening consumer base, and greater proliferation of fitness centers, and health clubs. Earlier, athletes and body builders were the main consumers of sports nutrition products. However, nowadays it is not surprising to come across lifestyle and recreational users of sports nutrition products.
In fact, in recent times, the consumption share of lifestyle and recreational users in the global sports nutrition market has increased dramatically. The global sports nutrition market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 9% from 2013 to 2019, thereby reaching US$37.7 billion by the end of the forecast period from US$20.7 billion in 2012. Most manufacturers in the sports nutrition market are mainly focusing on manufacturing sports nutrition products by taking into account the taste preferences.
How do Sports Events drive the Demand for Sports Nutrition Products?
The global sports nutrition market is segmented on the basis of product and geography. Product-wise, this market is categorized into sport supplements, sports drinks, and sports food. The segment for sports drinks holds the highest share in the global sports nutrition market. Between 2011 and 2012, the global market for sports drinks expanded at a CAGR of 7.3%, thereby reaching US$12435.4 million by 2012. Also, it is the U.S. which is the largest consumer of sports drinks in the global sports nutrition market.
Emerging markets in the global sports nutrition market are anticipated to create gainful opportunities for further growth of this market in the forthcoming years.
