According to a study published by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), the participation of high school boys in soccer, wrestling, and tennis surged significantly in the US during 2018−2019. Also, according to the same study, in the country, sports participation at schools was at its peak for the first time in the past 30 years. According to a study published by Stanford Children’s Health in 2020, ~30 million children and teenagers participate in sports annually in the US. Nevertheless, sports are popular among people of all generations. Such an increase in participation in sports contributes to the growth of the sports nutrition market.

Physical exercises increase cardiovascular fitness and boost overall health by developing a mechanism for coping with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Musculoskeletal diseases are also the leading cause of years lived with disability (YLDs) across the region. Thus, owing to the increasing awareness of fitness and the growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, the extending consumer base of sports nutrition - including athletes, bodybuilders, and non-athletes aspiring to adopt healthy lifestyles - drives the sports nutrition market growth.
