Opportunities

• An increase in the price of home gym equipment

People's schedules vary depending on their professions. The standard hours of operation for health clubs and gyms might not be suitable for all patrons. The user's timing and trainers should coincide for the workout sessions. As users lean toward convenience and privacy, a great opportunity exists to design affordable connected gym equipment for residential use. Developed and developing countries are seeing increased demand for intelligent fitness equipment.

• Increasing health and fitness has led to a trend for connected gym equipment

The quick global digitization of the health and fitness industry. The market is also growing due to the growth of gyms, fitness clubs, and home fitness centers, as well as the general rise in health consciousness. Sports enthusiasts and athletes frequently use connected devices and smart wearables to store, track, and analyze health data to enhance their fitness levels.

The connected machines allow for the tracking and monitoring of calories burned, weight lifted, sets and reps completed, range of motion, and weight lifted. Additional factors are anticipated to drive the market toward expansion, including rising consumer spending power and public concern over cardiovascular diseases.

Restraints/Challenges

• Gym equipment has a high cost

Growth is constrained by some fitness equipment available at exorbitant prices, especially for middle- and low-income individuals in developing and underdeveloped nations. High-tech fitness gear and fitness wearables have increased in price due to technological advancement. The initial cost of fitness equipment and fitness devices is directly increased by including multiple features, such as high-quality displays, improved power efficiency, tracking of additional vitals, wireless connectivity, and upgraded software. Different consumers' use of wearable technology is raising their spending on fitness-related healthcare. Wearable device demand rises as their application coverage expands, directly contributing to their high price.

• Lack of consumer understanding of the technology and products limits the growth

With the help of smart connected devices, smartphones, and tablets can simplify managing multiple devices from various locations. However, because people in developing nations are unfamiliar with smart products and technology, vendors find it difficult to enter those markets. To enter emerging markets, suppliers must educate consumers about the benefits of their goods. And even if vendors enter the market, it will be challenging to establish a position. A lack of knowledge about the product and technology can impede growth, and with insufficient learning, the customer won't be able to utilize it to its full potential.
