Sports nutrition refers to the practice of maintaining a healthy diet and consuming nutrient-rich food products. Sports drinks, protein powders, dietary supplements and protein bars are some of the common examples of sports nutrition products. Athletes and active adults incorporate these products with a specific plan to achieve different fitness goals such as gaining lean mass and improving their body composition. These products also aim to reduce the effects of physical fatigue, injury and delayed recovery that can influence an athlete’s performance. 

With lifestyle disease incidences on the rise, there is an increasing awareness among consumers about the benefits of a healthy and nutritious diet. Consumers are now increasingly shifting toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle that aids in sustaining fitness while reducing the chances of lifestyle diseases. This coupled with other factors such as rising healthcare expenditures and increasing urbanization rates is driving the demand for sports nutrition products. Moreover, a significant increase in the number of casual or recreational users, professional bodybuilders and athletes as well as the growing number of young people opting sports as their career is contributing positively to the market growth. Furthermore, the proliferation of health and fitness centers, many of which also engage in the active promotion of sports nutrition products, have influenced their sales. Additionally, the incorporation of natural and plant-based ingredients along with the introduction of vegan alternatives in the product range has increased their acceptability among the masses.
