Sports supplements are considered as performance enhancers, fat burners, muscle builders, meal replacements, weight gainers and energy formula.

North America has largest market share for sports supplements, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Developed market such as the U.S. and European countries dominates the sports supplements market. However, changing purchasing pattern in the developing nations can pose challenge to the monopoly of the developed market. Demand for sports supplements in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific such as India and China is expected to show better growth prospects in coming future due to increasing domestic consumption associated with increasing expenditure on healthy food items.

Such trend is expected to provide ample growth opportunities for the global sports supplements market especially, in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific and Europe.
