Fitness Equipment Market Growth Factors

Increasing Prevalence of Obesity

The need for fitness equipment is increased by the rising number of obese people because it serves as an essential tool for helping them lose weight at their own pace. For example, according to data from the State of Child Obesity.Org released in September 2020, adult obesity rates in the United States now exceed 35% in 12 states, 25% in 48 states, and 30% in 35 states. Additionally, the growing understanding that a lack of physical activity contributes to a number of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and others, has contributed to an increase in demand for them. For instance, according to information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September 2019, inactivity raises the risk of heart disease, several cancers, and type 2 diabetes. In addition, a lack of physical activity contributes to annual healthcare costs of USD 117 billion.

Increasing Technological Advancements

The use of fitness applications on smart devices to improve and maintain personal fitness routines has grown in popularity, and this has had a significant impact on the fitness equipment market's expansion. For instance, according to data from the World Economic Forum published in September 2020, usage of fitness apps increased by 50% in the first half of 2020. Additionally, the demand for the product has grown as online fitness classes become more and more well-liked. For instance, the Jawaharlal Nehru University of New Delhi, India, began offering its students an online fitness class to help them maintain their health and well-being, according to information from the New Indian Express that was published in April 2020.

Fitness Equipment Market Restraints

High Cost of Fitness Equipment

Some expensive fitness equipment, especially for middle- and low-class consumers in developing and underdeveloped nations, is limiting the market's expansion. For instance, an average treadmill costs around USD 3500-4000. Additionally, as more commercial gyms were built around the world, less money was spent on home fitness equipment, which affected the market adversely. For instance, the United States has more than 39,570 gyms with more than 6 billion visits, according to 2018 data from the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

Fitness Equipment Market Opportunities

New Innovative Fitness Equipment

The market is expected to expand as a result of the increased production of smart treadmills that can track heart rate, jog and run speed, and distance traveled and come in a portable, foldable design. The Peloton Tread treadmill, for instance, has the ability to track heart rate, exercise timing, distance traveled, calories burned, and other variables. Additionally, this product includes fitness and life classes on demand. In addition, the production of smart dumbbells, which can connect to other smart electronic devices and have sensors built to track arm movement, is likely to increase demand. For instance, the Bluetooth connectivity and arm movement detection capabilities of the Bowflex SmartTech 560 dumbbell make it a smart device. A new smart jumping rope by Tangram increases the efficiency of cardio exercise, and it connects with android and apple watches via Bluetooth for a better description of the exercise. The jump count burned calories and jumping time are all tracked by the SmartRope app.
