## Frequently Asked Questions

# CHAPTER 12 - FAQs

#### Q: How large was the Global Fitness Equipment Market in 2025?

**A:** The Global Fitness Equipment Market was valued at USD 19,700 million in 2025. The estimate covers new cardiovascular, strength, functional, flexibility, recovery and accessory equipment sold through consumer and commercial channels. It excludes health-club memberships, stand-alone digital applications, apparel, wearable devices and second-hand equipment unless bundled into a manufacturer-controlled program. The value was triangulated using manufacturer revenue, equipment shipment volume, category-weighted selling prices, commercial facility trends and publicly available market benchmarks. North America represented the largest regional revenue pool, while Asia-Pacific delivered the strongest structural volume growth.

**Data used:** USD 19,700 million market value, 2025; 132.2 million units, 2025

**So what:** Investors should evaluate suppliers on category exposure, regional channel access and recurring post-sale economics rather than total equipment revenue alone.

#### Q: What growth is expected through 2031?

**A:** The market is forecast to reach USD 26,500 million by 2031, representing a 5.05% CAGR from 2025. Growth will be driven by commercial fleet replacement, strength-training layouts, connected equipment, active-aging programs and emerging-market fitness participation. Unit shipments are expected to grow more slowly than market value because premium consoles, adaptive resistance, embedded sensors and professional-grade durability will increase blended selling prices. The forecast assumes no repeat of pandemic-scale household purchasing, making the expansion path more dependent on balanced consumer, commercial, hospitality, corporate and rehabilitation demand.

**Data used:** USD 26,500 million forecast value, 2031; 5.05% CAGR, 2025-2031

**So what:** Companies should prioritize value-accretive technology and lifecycle services rather than depending exclusively on shipment growth.

#### Q: Where will the industry's profit pool shift?

**A:** Profit pools will shift from one-time mechanical hardware toward connected systems, software, maintenance, financing, extended warranties, content and certified refurbishment. Conventional equipment will remain important for volume, but digitally connected and AI-adaptive products enable higher customer lifetime value through subscriptions and performance analytics. Commercial customers also create attractive recurring revenue through fleet monitoring, preventive maintenance and multi-site procurement. The main execution challenge is maintaining software relevance and engagement throughout an equipment lifecycle that can exceed the associated digital platform's commercial planning horizon.

**Data used:** 18% connected equipment revenue share, 2025; 31% projected share, 2031

**So what:** Manufacturers need integrated hardware, software and service P&Ls to protect margins and reduce dependence on replacement cycles.

#### Q: What is the most important risk facing equipment suppliers?

**A:** The principal risk is demand and inventory volatility across bulky, freight-intensive product portfolios. Pandemic-era purchasing shortened the initial sales cycle but lengthened replacement timing for home equipment, while commercial projects remain sensitive to financing, construction schedules and operator confidence. Manufacturers also face safety certification, product recalls, component inflation, tariffs and software obsolescence. These pressures can weaken gross margins when suppliers use discounting to clear inventory or lack recurring revenue to absorb lower hardware volumes.

**Data used:** Peloton FY2025 revenue decline of 7.77%; ISO 20957-1:2024 safety framework

**So what:** Management teams should tighten demand planning, modularize product platforms and diversify sourcing before pursuing aggressive channel expansion.

#### Q: Which region offers the strongest strategic opportunity?

**A:** North America remains the largest profit pool, but Asia-Pacific provides the strongest growth opportunity. North America benefits from mature facilities, high equipment penetration, premium consumer demand and connected-fitness adoption. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow faster because of urbanization, rising incomes, low fitness participation in several large countries and expanding manufacturing capability. Europe remains attractive for premium, sustainable and compliant equipment, while Latin America and the Middle East offer selective opportunities through gym chains, hospitality projects and affluent urban markets.

**Data used:** North America market value of USD 6,954 million, 2025; Asia-Pacific CAGR of 7.3%, 2026-2031

**So what:** Suppliers should use North America for premium monetization while localizing price points, sourcing and distribution for Asia-Pacific growth.

#### Q: What demand factor matters most for long-term growth?

**A:** The most durable demand factor is the gap between recommended and actual physical activity. Nearly one-third of adults remain insufficiently active, while obesity, aging and chronic disease increase the need for accessible exercise formats. Equipment demand will not arise automatically from this health burden; products must reduce barriers related to affordability, space, confidence, mobility and engagement. Suppliers that combine compact design, guided programming, adaptable resistance and measurable progress will be best positioned to convert public-health need into sustainable consumer and institutional demand.

**Data used:** 31% insufficiently active adults, 2022; 1.8 billion inactive adults, 2022

**So what:** Product strategy should focus on adherence and accessibility rather than maximizing specifications that only appeal to experienced users.
