• The market size for resistance bands is projected to experience a swift expansion in the ensuing years, anticipating to reach $2.7 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%.
This uptick in growth prediction for the coming period could be linked to the rising need for resistance bands in physical therapy, the escalating trend of routine physical exercise and activities, amplified cognizance about health and fitness, and a surge in preference for portable and handy exercise instruments.

The increasing interest in fitness and health is projected to fuel the expansion of the resistance band market in the future. The two interconnected notions of fitness and health involve an individual's complete physical and mental wellness. Fitness mainly pertains to the physical elements of health such as strength and endurance, whereas health covers a wider range, encompassing physical, mental, and social wellness. Resistance bands play a crucial role in improving fitness and health because they provide convenience and benefits for strength training, weight loss, sports performance, injury recovery, and functional fitness. For example, in May 2022, Planet Fitness Inc., a fitness corporation based in the United States, announced its first-quarter 2022 results. They reported a surge in total revenue by 66.9% compared to the corresponding period the previous year, amounting to $186.7 million. Hence, the rising consciousness of fitness and health is steering the advance of the resistance bands market.
