It is set to increase from $14.43 billion in 2024 to $15.03 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth observed in the past period is a result of various economic factors and disposable income, improved access, evolving fitness trends and fashion, an aging populace and heightened health consciousness, as well as the growth of the commercial gym industry.

Several factors contribute to this predicted growth in the projected period, such as the advancement of health and wellness trends, the popularity of online fitness platforms, emphasis on personalization, the usage of sustainable and eco-friendly equipment, and the integration with health tracking. The key trends for the forecast period are seen to be technologically advanced and intelligent equipment, the prevalence of home fitness, the emergence of virtual fitness experiences, a heightened focus on health tracking, and the incorporation of eco-friendly designs.
The rise in obesity rates is anticipated to spur the expansion of the fitness equipment market. Obesity, a health condition associated with various illnesses and ailments like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and multiple types of cancer, contributes to an increased demand for fitness equipment. Such equipment offers aerobic workouts, elevates heart rate, enhances metabolism, and facilitates calorie burn for weight loss. As per the World Health Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Switzerland, as of March 2022, globally, there are approximately 650 million obese adults, 340 million obese teenagers, and 39 million obese children. By 2025, the WHO predicts that as many as 167 million adults and children who are overweight or obese are likely to encounter some health issues. As such, the escalating rates of obesity are propelling the fitness equipment market's growth.
