Global pre-workout supplement market was valued at USD 12.6 million in 2019. It is projected to grow at an 8.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. Pre-workout supplements demand is increasing due to the growing demand for nutrition products that can improve performance and the awareness of consumers about the importance of using workout supplements.
People are adopting different lifestyles, including yoga, exercise, and gym. These activities have led to an increase in demand for health-related products such as organic food, sport equipment, pre-workout supplements and other fitness-related products. This is because they help improve strength while working out. In some developed countries, pre-workout supplements are more in demand because of the increased use of self-diagnosis and self-analysis tools.
Due to the growing importance of an active lifestyle and increased awareness about the benefits of protein, and the increasing number of fitness and health centers, this market will likely grow substantially over time. Pre-workout supplements are preferred by consumers who exercise hard. They dilate blood vessels, which allows more oxygen to reach muscles. This results in improved performance. These factors will drive demand for energy-boosting supplements, like pre-workout pills, in the future.
Pre-workout supplements contain ingredients like caffeine to increase energy, beta-alanine for muscle fatigue, Branched Chain Amino Acids to reduce protein breakdown, creatine and Nitric Oxide to maintain normal blood vessels function, as well as proprietary blends. According to a study by Molecular Diversity Preservation International, (MDPI), 87% consist of beta-alanine and 86% of products contain caffeine. 71% of the products also contain citrulline. 63% of products include tyrosine. 51% of taurine. 49% of products contain creatine.
The market is being held back by fear of side effects. Pre-workout supplements aren't FDA-regulated, which has led to increased awareness among consumers. The consumer demands more transparency to be able to identify the ingredients of the proprietary blend. According to MDPI's study, 58 percent of top 100 pre-workout products are made up of a proprietary blend. This trend is being pursued by key market players to launch new supplements and increase their market share. In July 2019, Nutrabolt, a sports nutrition company, launched Project Clear Evolution. It was based on the principle of creating a new line with products that are free from artificial flavors and dyes, transparent labels, and have no proprietary blends.
The market can be divided into ready-to-drink, capsule/tablets and powder. The largest market share is expected to be held by powder in 2019, and it is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Powder pre-workout supplements are very popular due to their ease of use and availability. Powder form is preferred by consumers who have difficulty swallowing tablets/capsules.
Powder is also preferred by consumers because it allows them to customize the amount they want. Consuming powder with milk can increase its nutritional value. Powder has a faster absorption rate than capsules, and provides instant results. Powder pre-workout supplements are also popular because they can be easily carried around with many products.
Due to the increasing popularity of ready-to-drink, this segment is expected to grow the fastest over the forecast period. Pre-made drinks are those that don't require any mixing. This is another reason for high demand. To meet the increasing demand in this market, many players are offering new pre-workout products. In 2018, Nutrabolt's C4 brand launched the first pre-workout drink that is on the go and contains no sugar, calories or carbs. The 16-ounce product was available in four flavors: tropical blast, frozen bombsicle and twisted limeade.
The market can be divided into two segments based on distribution channel: online and offline. Pre-workout supplements were the most popular segment. The largest market share was held by the offline segment. GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Nutrishop are increasingly turning to offline channels because they allow companies to expand their distribution and strengthen their brand. Many retailers are expanding their reach to consumers through increasing numbers of outlets. Nutrishop, for example, announced in July 2019 that it would no longer charge marketing fees or monthly royalty. This resulted in an increase of around 9% in gross sales revenue per month. The company also plans to open over 300 stores within the next five years. This has led to an increase in sales via the offline channel.
The fastest growing segment is the online channel, with an estimated CAGR of 11.0% in 2019. It is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to the wide variety of products available online. Customers can shop online with many e-commerce platforms and online shopping apps such as Flipkart or Amazon. Although e-commerce is gaining popularity in the retail industry, it only accounts for a small portion of total retail sales worldwide. Online sales can be fueled by discussion forums, discounts, product offers, and other promotional strategies that sellers use. The segment will continue to grow due to increased penetration of the internet and social media.
North America will continue to be the dominant market in 2019, with a projected share of 5%. Due to the high health-conscious consumer base, pre-workout supplements are in high demand. According to the Int'l Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, 16% of Americans were associated with health clubs in 2018. This is an increase of over 10% over the last three years. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), three-quarters of all Americans take a supplement every day. This has led to a strong demand in the region for pre-workout supplements.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market in 2019, and it is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. The market's growth is due to a number of factors including changing consumer preferences, growing numbers of health and fitness centers, and increasing health awareness. The region's increasing penetration of international brands is expected to also drive demand for pre-workout supplementation. China is the biggest market due to its high number of gym-goers. According to Qingcheng Tech Company's report, China's largest gym operator system service provider, the number reached nearly 98,000 in China in 2018. This has led to an increase in demand for pre-workout supplementation.
Numerous big players are focusing more on the launch of new products in this market. Stance Supplements, for example, launched MERK preworkout supplements in 2018 in two flavors: strawberry death punch and brutal blue razz. These products were available online and at Nutrishop locations throughout the United States. This product contains higher doses of Citrulline Malate (6g), 3.2g Beta-Alanine (350mg), and 200mg AlphaSize (200 mg). It also includes complementary ingredients like vitamin B12 and Himalayan Rock salt, ActiGin and Astragin.
Many fitness professionals in the market have partnered with private-label manufacturers to bring new products to their customers. In December 2019, Gold's Gym, an authority in fitness, partnered up with Tipton Mills Foods to bring nutritional supplements, including pre-workout and protein powders. The agreement was for three years. Seven products were launched, including 100% whey concentrate and 100% whey isolate (chocolate & vanilla), 100% plant protein and pre-workout blue raspberry.
