Therefore, the importance of good health has skyrocketed, thus driving the growth of the market.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus has fueled the demand for virtual gym and yoga classes. The trend has fueled the demand for dumbbells, kettlebell, resistant bands, spin cycles, and treadmills, among others. Furthermore, millennials are opting for virtual classes for relieving stress and mindfulness, thereby fueling the demand for gym machines and fitness equipment during the forecast period. The above-stated factors show that the pandemic may generate substantial investment opportunities in the market in the coming years.

Increasing Demand for Fitness Equipment for Home Use Is Expected to Drive the Market in the Coming Days

The spread of novel coronavirus has increased people's interest in practicing healthy routines and sports at home. The sales of wellness equipment have skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

High Cost of Fitness Equipment to Restrain the Market Growth

The increasing cost of raw materials has fueled the price of workout equipment worldwide. In recent years, the price of raw materials such as steel, iron, and the composite has increased significantly. As per Monarch Metal, Inc., a leading manufacturers and supplier of Monarch Z Clips and fine custom architectural metal products, raw material prices for steel have increased about 60% from the pre-pandemic low in 2020 and continue their upward trajectory. The price increase is due to the shortage of cold-rolled steel sheets. Furthermore, the steel demand is expected to increase by 6.7% in North America this year as the economy rebounds. This may further fuel the price of steel, thereby hampering the market growth.

Growing Gym Membership is expected to Create Massive Investment Opportunities in the Global Fitness Equipment Market
