The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the non-alcoholic beverages market will recover from the shock over 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. Increasing health awareness and consciousness among consumers is driving the demand for beverages that provide nutrition, antioxidants, and probiotics.

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.
