Synthèse

The global fitness market experienced robust growth despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. After a slight dip, with the industry valued at over $91 billion USD, it is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 7.67% from 2023 to 2030. The fitness equipment segment also remains strong, valued at $15 billion in 2022, with expectations of continued growth at a 4% compound annual growth rate through to 2032. The United States continues to lead the market, while Europe, with a market size estimated at 22.9 billion euros and approximately 56.9 million members in fitness centers, also showcases significant activity. The sector is characterized by an increase in health awareness, a surge in the use of fitness apps and connected devices, and a rising demand for boutique and sport-health centers.

The French market mirrors this trend, having recovered well from the health crisis with 6.5 million registered members in fitness centers by the end of 2022 and reaching a market size of 2.17 billion euros. Digital fitness has become increasingly popular, propelled by the engagement in social challenges and remote fitness coaching. Regulations require staff and trainers to hold relevant state diplomas, and fitness gyms to comply with certain obligations as EAPS (établissement d'activités physiques et sportives) and ERP (establishments open to the public).

Trends and Dynamics of the Fitness Market Demand

The fitness market in the country in question has been experiencing a remarkable expansion, reflecting a burgeoning interest among the population towards maintaining physical fitness. The driving force behind this surge is multifaceted, with health consciousness playing a pivotal role.

A notable segment of society is engaging in physical activities not just for leisure but also as part of a health-oriented lifestyle. This shift is particularly seen in the fight against obesity, which, coupled with the rise in disposable income and government health expenditure, has significantly bolstered the growth of the fitness sector.

Forecasts are optimistic, expecting the market to climb at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7.67% over 2023-2030. Within this marketplace, fitness equipment alone is expected to see a growth rate of about 4% up to the year 2032, with cardiovascular equipment dominating over 60% of this vertical.

Geographically, there's a concentration of fitness activities within Europe. Despite a contraction in recent years due to economic turbulence, the European fitness market is still substantial, valued at about 17 to 23 billion euros. Countries like Germany, the UK, and Spain account for nearly 43% of this market. In terms of spending, Italians lead with an average annual fitness budget of around 2,000 to 2,500 pounds, closely followed by France and Germany.

In France, the domestic market is robust and has grown to reach 2.17 billion euros, with 6.5 million registered members in fitness facilities by the end of 2022. This growth is supported by major fitness networks such as L'Orange Bleue, Keepcool, and Neoness and driven by the population's mounting interest in fitness and socio-demographic trends, such as the emphasis on appearance, well-being, and performance amplified by social media influences.

Notably, the sector grew by approximately 22% between 2022 and 2023, despite the setbacks it faced during the health crisis in 2020 and 2021. The rising popularity of fitness among the French is reflected in their resolutions to engage more in sports, with about 43% willing to increase their physical activity for health, stress reduction, or aesthetic reasons. Fitness ranks as the second most popular sport.
