The home fitness equipment market size is forecast to increase by USD 3.08 billion at a CAGR of 9% between 2022 and 2027. Our report examines historic data from 2017 to 2021 besides analyzing the current market scenario. One of the key factors driving the market development is the rising obese population. There is an increase in the number of people who are identified as overweight and obese globally. Earlier, the obese population was more in high-income countries, but now there is a significant increase in the overweight population in low-income countries as well, especially in urban settings. The main factor fuelling the number of this obese population is the increasing consumption of fast food or junk food due to the convenience they offer. This excess weight and obesity have a significant influence on cancer rates. For instance, women are more vulnerable to developing obesity-related cancer when compared to men. As a result, there is a growing demand to improve productivity and health which is significantly driving the market expansion during the forecast period.

The offline segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 3.07 billion in 2017. Additionally, the demand for these retail outlets, including department stores, distributors, and specialty stores, is fuelled by the fact that they enable buyers to compare brands and offer them a large number of options to choose from. Additionally, these outlets enable customers to try the equipment before purchase.

Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment, which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
