Global Virtual Fitness Market Recording Exceptional Growth: Expected to Reach USD 59.6 Billion By 2027

Published | 19 October 2021

The growing demand for sophisticated fitness programs, the lack of time for physical activity, the emergence of online fitness programs, healthy living trends, and the closure of gyms and studios caused by the COVID-19 outbreak all contribute to the growth of the virtual fitness market…

A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting revealed that the global virtual fitness market was worth USD 8.1 billion in the year 2020. According to the study, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 33.1%, earning revenue of around USD 59.6 billion by the end of 2027. The global virtual fitness market is witnessing rapid growth due to the benefit it offers especially to the working-class population. Through virtual on-demand and live fitness courses, participants benefit from schedule flexibility, fitness arrangements such as yoga or meditation, as well as expert leadership at home/work.

Growing On-Demand Fitness Services Is Expected to Drive the Global Virtual Fitness Market

The global virtual fitness market is segmented into living, and on-demand segments, based on streaming types. The on-demand segment accounts for the largest share in the market because of the time-flexibility it offers that suits the needs of the working-class population. Clients also like the convenience of on-demand virtual fitness, which gives them access to a variety of workout classes at their convenience. However, the live streaming segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its preference among routine-oriented exercisers and fitness-freaks who want reliable fitness-program layouts and schedules.

Expanding Hybrid Revenue Model is Anticipated to Propel the Global Virtual Fitness Market

Based on the revenue models, the global virtual fitness market is segmented into subscription, advertisement, and hybrid. The hybrid virtual fitness segment owns the largest share of the global virtual fitness market because it caters to the needs of those who have or do not have the financial capacity to pay for virtual fitness services. Hybrid revenue models have greater potential to expand their customer base than other revenue models. However, the subscription model is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period because of the growing popularity of virtual fitness among the young working population. In addition, the cost-efficiency of subscription virtual fitness services over in-person gyms and personal trainers also contributes to its market growth.

Global Virtual Fitness Market - By End-User

Based on end-users, the global virtual fitness market is segmented into professional gyms, sports institutes, defense institutes, educational institutions, corporate institutions, individuals, and others. Among these, the professional gyms segment accounts for the largest market share as they offer wellness and fitness services to the general public. Obesity and other lifestyle diseases are growing among the general public, whose busy schedules prevent them from visiting traditional gyms. This presents a significant growth opportunity for the global virtual fitness market. On the other hand, the corporate institutions segment is also gaining traction in the market as companies offer virtual fitness services to employees as a benefit to keeping their physical and mental health in check. The global virtual fitness market is expected to be driven by this factor in the forecast period.
