INSIGHTS BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL

Offline multi-channels include convenience outlets, off-line direct marketing, catalog marketing, and others. The sale of home gym equipment via offline modes has remained higher than online sales as consumers prefer offline channels to shop for fitness devices due to the lack of awareness about the types of equipment and logistical challenges. Cardio equipment such as treadmills and elliptical and strength training equipment such as kettlebells, dumbbells, weights, mats, skipping, and battle ropes, and others are higher in demand in offline stores. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, several gyms and health clubs remained closed, hence the demand for home fitness equipment surged.

The increased penetration rate of online platforms is pushing vendors to grow their online presence via e-commerce platforms and collaborations. As offline stores remained shut in Q1 and Q2 2020, online channel platforms gained traction. However, currently, the market is reopening gradually in many countries, which has revived offline sales, thereby expecting to further grow during the forecast period. Until 2021, the online sales channel segment is expected to dominate the market. The COVID-19 outbreak has generated major opportunities for the home fitness equipment market. With respect to online sales, digital platforms such as eCommerce, websites, and applications are driving the growth.

INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY

China is a center for manufacturing fitness equipment due to low labor costs, and the region is expected to witness growth during the forecast period. Moreover, hectic work schedules, a rise in a sedentary lifestyle, and the need to avoid crowded places such as fitness centers are major factors affecting the market growth in the APAC region. The U.S. home fitness equipment market size is expected to grow due to its key drivers which include a highly competitive marketplace, established customer base, and technological advancements.
