(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, July 06, 2019 ) According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Global Sports Nutrition Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global sports nutrition market is currently experiencing moderate growth. Sports nutrition products refer to a category of food supplements that aim to enhance the athletic performance of individuals. These products offer a convenient way to support an active lifestyle. They provide fuel for physical activity, facilitate the repair and rebuilding process, and optimize performance. They aid in supplying the necessary nutrients, energy and fluids to keep the body hydrated and functioning under pressure, which helps in reducing the impact of injury, physical fatigue and delayed recovery. As a result of these benefits, sport nutrition products have emerged as an effective and safe way of maintaining a healthy lifestyle over the years.
The primary factor driving the sports nutrition market is the growing fitness consciousness, owing to the prevalence of chronic diseases. This, in confluence with the rising healthcare expenditure, is driving the demand for sports nutrition products worldwide. Apart from this, the incorporation of natural as well as plant-based ingredients and the introduction of vegan alternatives is also increasing their acceptability among consumers who follow special diets. Further, a significant rise in the number of casual or recreational consumers, professional bodybuilders and athletes, along with the increasing number of young people opting for sports as their career, is strengthening the market growth.
