Description

According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global at-home fitness equipment market size was USD 7.3 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 13.3 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2022 to 2030. The adoption of at-home fitness equipment is expected to increase in the coming years. A sedentary lifestyle and hectic schedules have led to adopting at-home fitness equipment. Exercising at home using fitness equipment saves gym membership expenses, which is a key driving force of the global market. However, space limitations and the high cost of equipment restrain the market growth.

At-home gym equipment are available with cables, and adjustable pulleys that provide options for abdominal, arm, chest exercises, leg press, shoulder back, and calf raises, offering customization in single multipurpose equipment. Also, leading players in the industry are coming up with innovative solutions. For instance, Life Fitness, one of the players operating in the market, offers an F3 folding treadmill to home consumers with wireless telemetry heart rate monitoring and the convenience of minimal storage space.

Global At-Home Fitness Equipment Market Definition

At-home fitness equipment comprises all machines and monitoring devices required for various physical exercises.

A rise in health awareness, an increase in the obese population, a surge in government initiatives to promote a healthy lifestyle, and an upsurge in the number of gyms and fitness clubs are driving the global at-home fitness equipment market.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global At-Home Fitness Equipment Market

Governments across various countries imposed stringent lockdown regulations, and people were forced to stay at home to contain the spread of the coronavirus. This restricted the fitness enthusiasts from going to gyms and fitness centers. Furthermore, doctors emphasized the need to work out and exercise regularly to boost immunity and prevent issues regarding mental health. Consequently, consumers had to opt for at-home fitness equipment and workout at home to keep themselves physically and mentally fit. Moreover, celebrities and fitness experts used social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to demonstrate how to do exercises at home and maintain mental and physical health during these tough times. As a result, various fitness equipment brands witnessed a sharp increase in the demand for at-home fitness equipment. Therefore, fitness became the priority for people to fight against the global health crisis. The demand for various home fitness equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, and rowing machines increased rapidly across the globe.

Global At-Home Fitness Equipment Market Dynamics

Drivers: Multifunctional at-home equipment are suitable for households

A major issue for setting up a house gym is limited space, making it necessary to opt for multifunctional fitness equipment. Multifunctional fitness equipment allows individuals to do different workouts using the same equipment. For instance, Multi-Functional Workstation and Plate Loaded Multi-Gym are multifunctional fitness equipment developed by Into Wellness (Realleader USA). This equipment help to save space and cost for household individuals and encourages setting up an at-home gym. Thus, all these factors collectively boost the growth of the at-home fitness equipment market

Restraints: Alternatives to home workout

Working out in a gym is necessary for body building, but not all individuals have an interest in body building. Many fitness-conscious individuals work out only to stay fit. In addition, other ways to maintain body fitness include power yoga, Zumba, aerobics, swimming, playing outdoor games, and hula hoop.

The number of individuals opting for these alternatives to stay healthy has increased considerably over the past years instead of going to the gym, limiting the market growth. Moreover, purchasing at-home fitness equipment involves substantial investment and incur additional cost for nutritional supplements and proteins. On the contrary, alternatives such as yoga, Zumba, outdoor games, and swimming are more cost-effective as compared to fitness equipment; therefore, the availability of these alternatives to stay fit hinders the growth of the at-home fitness equipment market.
