till 2026
Sports Nutrition Market – Insights
Sport  nutrition  helps  to  enhance  the  performance  of  athletes  by  providing  specific  type  of
nutritional  food  with  precise  quantity.  Sport  nutrition  products  mainly  consist  of  energy
supplements,  recovery  supplements,  and  performance  enhancing  supplements.  Athletes  and
bodybuilders are the major end users of sport nutrition products that are enriched in essential
nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Manufactured in convenient
forms and compositions, these products are distributed through numerous channels. The sport
nutrition market is expected to witness significant growth, owing to increasing sport activities and
rise in strategic marketing activities undertaken by key manufacturers to build a larger consumer
base. Increasing demand for functional food supplements, fitness awareness among people, and
government healthcare campaigns are some of the factors that contribute to growth of the global
sport nutrition market over the forecast period.
However, ingredients used in sport nutrition products are imposed with stringent regulations,
which is major factor hindering growth of the market. Such regulations are a key challenge for
manufacturers  to  launch  their  products  in  a  competitive  market.  The  Food  and  Drug
Administration  (FDA)  has  stringent  guidelines  and  regulations  regarding  entry  of  nutritional
products in the market such as ban on ingredients such as anabolic steroids, prohormones, and
stimulants.
Among product type, the sport drinks segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016
and is expected to retain its  dominance over the forecast  period. Sport nutrition drinks are
preferred by consumers, owing to increasing promotion of such drinks as healthier alternative to
soda  and  mental  and  physical  benefits  associated  with  the  consumption  of  sports  drinks.
Electrolytes and carbohydrates prove beneficial in energizing those engaged in physical activities
such as football and marathon training. Sports drinks reduce fatigue and replace electrolytes that
are lost in sweat during sport activities. However, excess consumption of sports drinks can result
in tooth decay, as it contains citric acid, which causes erosion of tooth enamel. Moreover, the
presence  of  carbohydrates  can  result  in  excessive  calorie  intake,  which results  in  increasing
incidences of obesity among adolescents. Health conscious consumers are looking for alternatives
for sport drinks, which in turn, is expected to hamper growth of the market.
North America held a dominant position in the global sports nutrition market, accounting for a
share of more than 30% in 2016 and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period.
The sports nutrition market in North America was valued at US$ 9.53 billion in 2016, projecting
a CAGR of 4.39% during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. U.S. is accounted as the major
contributor to the growth of the North America sports nutrition market. According to the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), in U.S., over 460,000 student athletes compete in more
than 2 sports activities every year.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region, witnessing the highest CAGR of 8.21%
during the forecast period. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and India, are
the  major  contributors  to  the  growth  of  the  market.  Owing  to  the  strengthening  economic
condition of  the emerging economies  in the region such as  India and China among others,
international manufacturers operating in the sports nutrition market and its subsequent industries
are looking to penetrate this region for better expansion opportunities. For instance, in 2017,
Roquette,  a  global  leader  in  innovative  plant-based  ingredients,  opened  new offices  and  an
innovation  center  in  Singapore,  thereby,  increasing  its  focus  on  the  nutritional  and  health
challenges in the region.
According to a study by Coherent Market Insights, the global sports nutrition market was valued
at US$ 27.85 billion in 2016 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.64%, in terms of revenue,
