The global sports supplement market is primarily driven by the growing health-consciousness and the rising trend of fitness among the consumers. The consumers are now becoming aware about the importance of physical fitness and the ill-effects of consuming junk food owing to their hectic lifestyles. They are now increasingly shifting towards healthier lifestyles and diets. As the demand for physical fitness and healthy food rises, the demand for sports supplement also grows simultaneously.
