Global sports nutrition market is expected to reach USD 81.5 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of 9.92% during the forecast period. Naturally functional food ingredients are being included in the market gathering the attention of the consumers.
Evolving Fitness Trend Drives the Market
Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and convenient lifestyle solutions, and sports nutrition products are one option that meets this need. The consumers of sports nutrition food, drinks, and supplements can be segmented into four different groups—bodybuilders, pro/amateur athletes, recreational users and lifestyle users. Bodybuilders and athletes have been the traditional consumers of sports nutrition products, particularly supplements; however, there is growing interest in these products from recreational and lifestyle users.
Sports and Energy Bars are Gathering Wide Customer Base
The market for sports drinks has reached maturity, whereas there is growth opportunity in sports and energy bars, as they expand their product attributes to attract new consumers. Sports food is typically found in a bar format that is nutrient dense and leverages the functional food proposition; that is, it provides health benefits that go beyond their nutritional value. These products include energy/endurance bars, balanced nutrition bars and protein bars. Energy and endurance bars maintain blood-glucose levels during exercise and contain a high concentration of carbohydrates, with typically moderate amounts of protein and fat.
US Dominates the Global Market
The United States is the largest consumer, representing approximately two-thirds of the world sports nutrition market in both volume and value of retail sales. The US consumers demonstrate the highest demand for energy and nutrition bars, representing two-thirds of global retail sales, while consumers in Canada rank third.
