Sports nutrition refers to a field of sports medicine that assists athletes in keeping their bodies in good condition before, after, and during exercise to reach peak performance. In this regard, many nutrients are being investigated for their ability to improve athletic performance, particularly in high-intensity sports involving repetitive effort. The main types of sports nutrition covered in this report are protein powder; ISO drink powder; sports supplements; RTD protein drinks; sports drinks; energy bars. Protein powders are powdered proteins derived from plants, eggs, or milk. The ISO drink powder is an amino acid that aids in cardiovascular health, electrolyte balance, insulin sensitivity and other functions. Sports supplements are powders, pills, or drinks that are used to increase muscle mass, decrease weight, or increase endurance. RTD protein drinks typically include 8–15% standard protein on average, manufactured with milk protein or whey protein isolate. Sports beverages restore glucose and electrolytes lost during severe exercise while also increasing endurance. Energy bars are regarded as a convenient on-the-go snack that provides a quick burst of energy. Based on raw materials, the market is segmented into animal-derived; plant-based; and mixed. The various distribution channels are supermarkets and hypermarkets; specialty stores; convenience stores; online stores; and other distribution channels. Commercial users, body builders, recreational users, and athletes are the most common end-users of sports nutrition products.

The global sports nutrition market size grew from $35.95 billion in 2022 to $39.56 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.

The sports nutrition market size is expected to grow to $58.29 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.2%. Growing awareness of fitness and active living is significantly driving the growth of the sports nutrition market. The growing awareness of fitness and active living increases the inclination towards sports and fitness activities and, thereby, the consumption of sports nutrition products. The increasing awareness of fitness makes consumers seek proper and nutritious supplements. According to the 2020 IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association) Health Club Consumer Report, the number of times Americans used a health club increased by 45% between 2010 and 2019. Additionally, the awareness of sports and physical recreation employment activities increased to 104200 in 2021 from 61000 in 2020. So, the increasing awareness of fitness and active living is expected to propel the growth of the sports nutrition market. Product innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the sports nutrition imaging market.

This recreation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global recreation market grew from $1,443.83 billion in 2022 to $1,900.67 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The recreation market is expected to grow to $2,194.09 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.7%. The recreation market growth is aided by stable economic growth forecasted in many developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that the global GDP growth was 3.5% in 2020, up from 3.2% in 2019. Recovering commodity prices are further expected to aid market growth. Developed economies are also expected to register stable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than developed markets in the forecast period. For instance, India's GDP grew by 7.2%, whereas China registered a GDP growth of 6.0% in 2020. Stable economic growth is expected in end-user markets, thereby driving the market during the forecast period. This continued economic growth is expected to increase investments in the end-user markets and be a driver of the recreation market as greater affluence allows consumers to visit recreation centers. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the recreation market in 2020 as governments globally imposed lockdowns and restricted domestic and international travel limiting the need for services offered by these establishments. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and spread globally including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in the closure of recreational facilities such as amusement parks, museums, and casinos with countries entering a state of 'lockdown' and the outbreak hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the recreation market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Amusement parks are increasingly using virtual and augmented reality technology to provide an immersive experience to customers. Virtual reality is a 3D, computer-generated environment that can interact with a person, whereas augmented reality turns an environment into a digital interface by placing virtual objects in the real world.
