Segment Review
The fitness equipment market is segmented based on type, end user, and geography. Based on end user, the market is segmented into home consumers, health clubs/gyms, and other commercial users. The end user segment witnessed an upsurge in health clubs/gyms, owing to the growth in obesity rate and increase in health consciousness. In fact, the U.S. held the largest number of health clubs with the highest membership rates, followed by Brazil. This segment is also expected to grow at a notable growth rate due to the increasing health awareness and favorable demographics, primarily in developing economies. Home consumers are the second highest revenue contributors to the fitness equipment market by end user. The segment has the highest penetration in U.S. and is expected to witness healthy growth rates in Europe.

Developing regions, such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA is expected to witness the higher growth rates over developed regions on account of the increasing health consciousness, rise in disposable income and increasing obesity levels.

Adoption of cardiovascular equipment with advanced features is higher compared to the western European countries. Thus, increasing obesity rates and the rising spending on home fitness equipment is expected to drive the market of fitness equipment in the region.
