The projected growth in this period can be traced back to a surge in gym subscriptions, heightened involvement in sports, and government-led initiatives.

Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Sports Nutrition Market?
The rise in gym memberships is predicted to influence the expansion of the sports nutrition market in the coming years. The realm of sports nutrition includes post-workout enhancers like whey protein and amino acids used for muscle development and recovery, as well as pre-workout nutraceuticals such as energy drinks and bars, carbohydrates and minerals that are consumed to boost energy, hydrate, and strengthen muscles. For instance, in September 2022, Gymdesk, a US-based gym management software that offers an updated platform for managing members, billing, scheduling classes, and tracking attendance states that around 52.6 million individuals in the United States attend the gym. This figure is derived from the total of 64.19 million US gym memberships, deducting the 18% of unused memberships. Thus, the upsurge in gym memberships is likely to have a positive effect on the sports nutrition market's growth.

What Emerging Trends Are Shaping The Sports Nutrition Market?
The growth trend towards vegan-based products is evident in the sports nutrition sector as more individuals are opting for plant-based diets. This trend is set to persist as people are exploring sustainable and ethical choices for their health and wellbeing. Coupled with the rising demand for veganism, plant-derived nutrition is gaining traction in the sports nutrition space. As a result, numerous manufacturers are introducing plant-based alternatives of their sports protein bars, powders, and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages. Soy has been replaced by pea protein and other plant protein mixes to avoid allergies and issues related to genetically modified organisms (GMO). Osage Food Products, an American trust-worthy brand in quality protein, dairy, and custom blend products, for example, unveiled SolvPro Vegan Plant Protein Blinds - a new series of optimized plant protein blends combining varied plant proteins - in January 2023. The blends are designed to serve various end-use applications with tailored nutritional and functional properties. Combining pea protein isolates and extra masking agents with EverPro protein isolate, the SolvPro 008 and 009 systems deliver a complete plant protein, abundant in all essential amino acids, to achieve a PDCAAS of 1.0, on par with whey protein isolates.
