Sports Nutrition Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.8% through 2030

The sports nutrition market is growing rapidly due to rising health awareness, expanding consumer base beyond athletes, innovation in functional products, and increasing demand for convenient, performance-enhancing, and wellness-focused nutrition solutions.

According to TechSci Research report, “Sports Nutrition Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global sports nutrition market was valued at USD 58.59 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 86.95 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. The global sports nutrition market is undergoing a transformative phase, driven by evolving consumer behavior, scientific advancements, and a shift in how fitness and performance are perceived. As more individuals adopt holistic wellness routines, sports nutrition is no longer confined to athletes and bodybuilders but is embraced by a diverse demographic seeking proactive health management. This expansion is fueled by the growing popularity of preventive healthcare, where nutrition plays a vital role in addressing lifestyle-related ailments such as fatigue, joint discomfort, or metabolic imbalance. The integration of sports nutrition into daily health regimens, including for mental clarity, sleep improvement, and immune support, is redefining product relevance and increasing consumption frequency. Technological innovations in biosciences and ingredient extraction are also enabling more effective and bioavailable formulations, which enhance user outcomes and build long-term trust in the category. However, despite the optimism, the market faces challenges related to consumer education and misinformation. Many potential users still harbor doubts regarding product safety, side effects, or efficacy, often influenced by inconsistent labeling and exaggerated marketing claims. Additionally, navigating complex international regulations creates hurdles for companies aiming for global scalability, as formulation compliance and labeling requirements vary significantly across borders. The lack of a universal regulatory standard also leaves room for the proliferation of low-quality or counterfeit products, which can damage industry reputation. Furthermore, price sensitivity in emerging markets, combined with the perception of sports nutrition as a discretionary or luxury expense, limits adoption among middle- and lower-income groups. To overcome these challenges, companies must focus on transparency, evidence-backed claims, and tailored communication strategies that demystify product benefits for the everyday consumer. As brands work to align sports nutrition with evolving lifestyle needs and responsible practices, the market is poised for sustained yet increasingly discerning growth.

The Sports Nutrition Market is segmented into product type, distribution channel and region.

Based on distribution channels, the online channel is the fastest-growing distribution segment in the global sports nutrition market. The convenience of doorstep delivery, wider product assortment, competitive pricing, and easy access to reviews make online platforms highly attractive to modern consumers. E-commerce also offers detailed product information, brand comparisons, and customization features, which are particularly useful for research-driven buyers. Major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, iHerb, and brand-owned websites allow global brands to reach niche audiences and provide features like subscription models, influencer recommendations, and dynamic pricing. Moreover, the pandemic significantly accelerated online adoption, particularly for supplements, RTD drinks, and personalized nutrition plans. Social media and influencer marketing have further boosted online engagement, transforming the way sports nutrition products are discovered and purchased. However, concerns about counterfeit products and lack of expert guidance remain challenges. To address this, reputable brands now offer QR code-based authentication, customer helplines, and loyalty programs online. Overall, the digital channel is not only a sales avenue but a vital space for education, personalization, and brand community building.

 Based on region, Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global sports nutrition market, driven by rapid urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and a growing fitness and wellness culture among young populations. Countries such as China, India, Japan, Australia, and South Korea are witnessing a fitness revolution, with expanding gym memberships, home workouts, and digital fitness platforms accelerating consumer exposure to sports nutrition. Traditionally underpenetrated markets like India and Southeast Asia are now emerging as key growth hotspots due to changing dietary habits, lifestyle-related health concerns, and social media influence. Local and international brands are capitalizing on the rising demand for protein supplements, energy drinks, and plant-based nutrition, especially among millennials and Gen Z. Furthermore, the rise of e-commerce, localized product development, and increasing participation in sports and marathons are fueling product uptake. While regulatory frameworks are still evolving in some countries, the momentum in consumer education and availability of global brands positions Asia-Pacific as the future growth engine of the sports nutrition industry.

“Another notable trend in the sports nutrition market is the expansion of hybrid product formats and experiential consumption, aimed at enhancing convenience, taste, and engagement. Consumers today are looking for more than just functional benefits; they want products that are easy to incorporate into their daily routines, enjoyable to consume, and offer a sensory experience. This has led to the rise of hybrid products that combine elements from multiple categories, such as protein-infused waters, caffeinated BCAAs, collagen-enriched energy bars, and hydration tablets with added vitamins. These innovations are designed to serve multiple purposes—such as energizing, nourishing, and refreshing—while reducing the need for multiple products.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
