The increasing geriatric population is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the rising popularity of other forms of fitness formats may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing geriatric population is notably driving the Japan Pilates Equipment Market growth. Japan is also known to have one of the largest elderly populations in the world, and this demographic change has increased the demand for Pilates equipment among this age group. According to the World Bank Group, Japan's population aged 65 and over (as a percentage of the total population) was 27% in 2015 but will rise to 30% in 2021. By 2030, one in three people will be over the age of 65, and one in five will be over the age of 75. With increasing age, the need to maintain flexibility and strength increases to support healthy aging. Many older adults appreciate gentle, stress-free Pilates, which is suitable for physical restrictions. People over the age of 65 are increasingly looking for ways to stay active and healthy. With increasing age, the risk of developing different health problems increases, which limits mobility and flexibility, and Pilates machines can help improve flexibility and mobility. Japan's aging population, therefore, presents a huge opportunity for the Japanese Pilates equipment market.
Additionally, the Japanese government has made efforts to promote healthy aging. The Japanese government has launched the Healthy Japan 21 Program, which aims to promote healthy aging and reduce the medical costs of the elderly. Pilates machines can play an important role in these efforts by helping older people maintain their physical health and preventing-related health problems. As a result, the Pilates equipment market is growing in Japan as more seniors want to invest in exercise equipment that helps them age gracefully while maintaining health and fitness. Hence, the rapidly aging population is one of the major growth drivers boosting the growth of the Japan Pilates Equipment market during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of clinical Pilates is a key trend influencing the Japan Pilates Equipment Market growth. Pilates equipment is in high demand in medical settings, especially by physiotherapists in clinics, for rehabilitation and postural correction of injured people. Certain vendors operating in the Japanese Pilates equipment market offer specialty Pilates equipment, such as the Clinical Reformer and Clinical Cadillac, along with other Pilates equipment and accessories for Pilates training in clinical settings. For example, Balanced Body Kliniken offers clinical Pilates reformers to facilitate safe and rapid rehabilitation for people with orthopedic, neurological, and chronic pain conditions. The increasing number of new product launches and workshops on how to operate recreational Pilates equipment conducted by various Pilates equipment manufacturers continue to drive the demand for clinical Pilates in the market.
In addition, the Japanese health industry also plays an important role in the spread of clinical Pilates. Many medical professionals recognize the benefits of clinical Pilates in promoting rehabilitation, pain relief, and injury prevention. For this reason, clinical Pilates is now used by physiotherapists, chiropractors, and others. The demand for clinical Pilates in Japan has also led to an increase in the number of Pilates studios and teachers nationwide. More and more Japanese are using Pilates for fitness and rehabilitation purposes. Hence the demand for Pilates equipment is expected to rise continuously, boosting the growth of the Japan Pilates Equipment Market during the forecast period.
The rising popularity of other forms of fitness formats is challenging the Japan Pilates Equipment Market growth. Fitness products and equipment, including Pilates equipment, face significant competition from other fitness activities such as yoga and different cardio activities such as aerobics, walking, jogging, cycling, skipping, dancing, trekking, hiking, and swimming. These activities come with various benefits. Yoga helps in relaxing the mind and provides a fair amount of stretching, which helps in burning calories and toning muscles. Along with this, the twist, stretch, and fold poses in yoga also help strengthen the digestive and circulatory systems.
Consumers also prefer other types of strength equipment, such as the squat, bench press, overhead press, and many more, which engage multiple muscle groups and provide a comprehensive, total body workout. Additionally, compared to Pilates equipment, these alternative forms have lower initial and operating costs, both in terms of equipment acquisition and maintenance. It also has a wider reach in terms of awareness compared to Pilates programs in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, the presence of alternative fitness equipment will challenge the growth of the Japan Pilates Equipment Market during the forecast period.
