Rising Health Awareness Among the Consumers
Consumers are leveraging the benefits of digitally connected fitness equipment to enjoy a personalized training experience through online workout classes. Digital self-care platforms have become a critical building block for a safer and healthier future. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, people have spent more time indoors, and keeping the body moving is important, both for physical health and mental well-being. Being away from their fitness club routines was inconvenient for regular gym goers. E-health and fitness platforms have been a few important tools to help people keep themselves fit and fine. Hence, the pandemic helped the home fitness equipment market penetrate further due to the change in the gymming and workout habits of people. In the current year, some of the online fitness platforms, such as Nike Training Club, TREAD, Adidas Training by Runtastic, HealthifyMe, and Daily Yoga, are offering a gym-like experience to the user, which is impacting physical fitness and health clubs negatively.
Home fitness equipment eliminates the inconvenience of commuting to a gym to use the machines and is highly cost-effective in the long run. Eventually, numerous innovations have occurred in this segment, such as launching apps that provide a platform for customers to select their trainers for either online classes or home visits, to meet the user's specific and customized fitness requirements, such as bodybuilding. Moreover, due to the rising awareness among consumers regarding their health, the demand for these types of equipment has also increased.
North America Leading the Home Fitness Equipment Market
The North American market witnessed significant growth due to the rising health awareness among consumers and the growing adoption of exercises related to physical well-being, weight management, and improving body stamina and muscular strength. The rising obese population and increasing health concerns are other major factors driving the home fitness equipment market in the region. The rising preventive healthcare measures and the augmenting healthcare costs enable consumers to engage in regular workouts to remain fit. With the growing demand, manufacturers operating in the global market are expanding their presence to achieve a competitive advantage. Moreover, due to the consumer's growing interest in in-home workouts, the demand for such home equipment is growing, which is also driving the home equipment market.
