People commonly use cardiovascular and strength training-related home exercise equipment to improve stamina and muscle strength. Nowadays, the obese population are highly concerned about their physical appearance and use exercise products such as treadmill, elliptical, dumbbell, and others to manage their body weight. Therefore, rising obesity prevalence and growing awareness regarding the health benefits of using such equipment are mainly driving the product demand in the U.S. As per the article ‘The State of Obesity 2020: Better Policies for a Healthier America,’ published by Trust for America's Health, a non-profit health organization, America’s obesity rate has increased from 26.0% of the total population in 2008 to that of 42.4% in 2020.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Increasing Importance of Body Workout amid COVID-19 Pandemic to Drive Market

These days, people stay indoors to avoid coronavirus infection and fulfill social distancing norms. Additionally, they use home fitness equipment to improve body stamina and maintain health. These factors have resulted in a significant increase in the U.S. population’s demand for such products. Additionally, during the pandemic, growing awareness regarding the importance of adopting regular exercise routines among Americans is further accelerating the product demand in the U.S. According to a survey data presented by 'Future of Fitness,’ a Santa Monica-based health and body care-related firm, in 2020, 9 out of 10 Americans who have access to their gym prefer exercising at their home. The developing interest in indoor workouts in the U.S is expected to drive the industry growth.

However, the unprecedented COVID-19 has forced governments worldwide to implement regulatory norms and protocols such as social distancing and lockdowns, resulting in shutdowns in public marketplaces and industries around the world. As a result of the inefficiency in the supply chain, the manufacturing of gym exercise products has suddenly stopped, and retail store sales in the U.S. have crumbled, resulting in a decline in home fitness equipment demand.
