The fitness industry and your cardiovascular health
The fitness equipment industry, valued at 10.01 billion dollars in the year 2014, is booming all across
the globe at the rate of 3.5 percent over the next forecast period, I.e,-. In a nutshell, what
this means is that there is a growing demand for fitness equipment with a possibility of the market
expanding even more over the coming years, as companies tap into unserviced markets.
The above mentioned expected growth comes about as a result of a rapidly growing population, a
youthful population and a population completely aware and conscious of their health and well-being.
The most commonly used exercise equipment include:
Treadmills
Stationery bicycles
Stair climbers
Weight lifting machinery
An increase in cases of obesity, obesity related illnesses and diseases and higher rates of mortality are
just two of the biggest drivers of the movement towards a more health conscious society. The World
Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) both could be expected to be the machinery
used to promote the ideal of healthy lifestyles in the global markets.
It is thus expected that in an attempt to counter, prevent and curb obesity and obesity related
illnesses and deaths, consumers will look to fitness equipment to assist them in achieving their weight
management and health goals. This, in turn, will turn into a bigger market share and uncharted profits
for the Fitness and exercise equipment markets.
With all of this having been said, we cannot overlook or ignore the adverse threat that the
coronavirus poses on the overall performance of this industry. As the virus sweeps over the world,
there will come about a decline in the purchase of fitness equipment and the sales of equipment will
come to a painstaking halt, but that is not to say that things wont pick up eventually as life slowly
begins to get back to normal.

overall cardiovascular equipment accounted for a whopping 55 percent of the fitness equipment
