North America Sports Nutrition Market Analysis
The North American sports nutrition market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.67% during the forecast period.
The sports nutritional product market is shifting away from traditionally targeted consumers, especially male athletes, and toward women and everyday active consumers. Consumers are becoming more interested in broader health outcomes, and nutrients other than proteins for muscle building are gaining attention, with a strong emphasis on branded ingredients.
A new generation of athletes and active consumers seeks products that will improve their physical and mental well-being rather than muscle-building supplements. Consumers are looking for new benefits such as weight management, muscle recovery, joint support, cognitive/focus support, novel approaches to energy profiles, and more. On the other hand, these formulations are gaining popularity among a more mainstream active audience who want all of these benefits. The sports/active nutrition industry is helping to shape the mainstream market's future.
The demand for high protein is one of the main reasons for sports nutrition products that are becoming more popular among everyday consumers. Moreover, increasing health awareness, a healthy lifestyle, a rising number of health clubs and fitness centers, and changing consumer preferences for nutritional products are the key growth drivers for the North American sports nutrition market.
