Home Fitness Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The home fitness equipment market was valued at USD 13,741.23 million in the previous year and is projected to register a CAGR of 2.75% during the forecast period.

Over the short term, precautionary healthcare, coupled with an increasing preference for customized workout regimes (including workout timing) and a comfortable home-friendly environment, is increasing the demand for home fitness equipment as customers are keen to exercise daily. Growth in home fitness equipment in the recent past was also the result of the inconvenience of commuting to a gym to use the machines, trainer fees, and membership fees, primarily in developing countries. The space limitation, primarily for bulk fitness equipment, such as massage chairs, exercise bikes, exercise treadmills, and cross, is a major factor that limits the growth of the home fitness equipment market. This has stimulated start-up gyms, fitness centers, and health clubs worldwide.

Additionally, while not everyone can afford a fully equipped gym, there are various possibilities for small-scale training equipment. As a result, companies like Temple Studio are now offering an all-in-one home gym the size of a mini-fridge, costing just under USD 400. Furthermore, owing to the increasing popularity of smartphones, market players are offering customers the option of managing their services through mobile applications and websites. The e-health platforms are offering video-on-demand, live remote training, creating their own workout programs, and other offers that are self-operated and guided by experts. These associated benefits of e-health platforms have created huge demand among working and busy customers, and it is expected to remain trending in the future. Thus, e-health platforms, gyms, and fitness center consulting services are expected to drive the health and fitness equipment market.
