North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global sports nutrition market with 41.22% of the market share. With the growing health and fitness trends in the U.S. and Canada, there is immense popularity around protein powders, energy bars, pre-workout supplements, and other sports nutrition products. Leading brands from the region like GNC, Optimum Nutrition, Warrior Lab, and EAS have strong market presence both within North America as well as globally.  The presence of major sports leagues in the region and fitness obsessed population has boosted the consistent demand for high-quality sports nutrition over the years. Moreover, several private label brands available at large retail chains like Walmart, Target, and Costco, etc. have further widened the consumer reach. International players trying to enter the North American market also face stringent regulations and certification requirements pertaining to product quality, labelling, and safety. This acts as a barrier for new entrants and protects the market share of existing domestic brands.

Asia Pacific is witnessing the fastest growth in the global sports nutrition market landscape. Countries like China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia are touted to be major growth drivers on the back of rising health awareness, proliferation of gyms and fitness centers as well as flourishing sports culture in the urban centers. Young population with increasing disposable incomes are willing to spend on specialized supplements that promise fitness goals.  E-commerce has given tremendous boost to product visibility and availability in the otherwise fragmented APAC markets. Domestic brands are upgrading themselves and garnering sizeable revenues through strong online sales while global brands are also ramping up sponsorships and visibility campaigns catering to regional consumer preferences. Simultaneously, private label brands manufactured by regional players as per international standards are finding wider acceptance amid price-sensitive buyers. Overall, economic development, changing consumer habits, and supportive distribution environment make Asia Pacific an attractive and high potential sports nutrition market of the future.
