Report Overview
The global fitness app market size was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%
from 2023 to 2030. The spreading COVID-19 pandemic led to nationwide lockdowns followed by social distancing norms, thereby aiding the transition
from traditional studios and gyms to virtual fitness. It, in turn, has led to increased downloads and subscriptions of fitness apps. As per a report published
by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), it has been stated that fitness apps were ranked at number 13 in accordance with the 2019 fitness

Tough competition has been witnessed between brick-and-mortar gyms against in-app fitness. Information technology has transformed the way the
fitness industry works. According to an article published by World Economic Forum in September 2020, it is stated that downloads of fitness and health
apps increased globally by 46.0% due to the growing trend of online fitness training, which is driving the market globally. The growing awareness
regarding fitness and mental well-being is also driving the market.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in awareness concerning health and hygiene. As per a World Economic Forum article
published in September 2020, the Daily Active Users (DAUs) of fitness apps have increased by 24.0% in quarter 2 over quarter 1 in 2020. Moreover, the
expanding network of fitness studios and gyms through online platforms is further aiding the adoption of these apps. Owing to this, several consumers
are significantly investing in in-home fitness equipment, thus boosting revenue growth. For instance, revenue generated by Peloton, a U.S.-based
exercise equipment company, has been estimated to double in 2020.

market), and other technologies to offer personalized fitness plans to their customers. They also offer personalized diet charts, no equipment workout
routines, track footsteps, monitor diet, and also provide personalized health and fitness coaches. Such offerings and advantages over brick and mortars
are expected to increase the growth potential of the market. For instance, MyFitnessPal offers personalized diet and activity tracking to its users,
generating a revenue of USD 6.7 million in June 2020. In addition, wearable technology (/industry-analysis/wearable-technology-market) has remained
the leading fitness trend for 2019. Health and fitness apps show the highest retention rates across all categories with 96.0% of users using only one of
these apps.
Another major factor aiding the market growth is the increasing penetration of smartphones worldwide. As per the Mobile Economy Survey 2018,
smartphone penetration is projected to increase from 57.0% in 2017 to 77.0% by 2025. In addition, as per the Mobile Economy 2018 survey, unique
mobile subscribers are anticipated to reach 5.9 billion by 2025. Moreover, the growing adoption of wearable devices including Fitbit and Apple Watch will
further aid the market growth.
Key players operating in the market are introducing innovative fitness apps to meet the growing consumer demand, thereby projected to drive the market
globally. Moreover, new functions and advanced features are further added to upgrade the consumer experience. For instance, in June 2020,
HealthifyMe - a health and nutrition app launched HealthifyMe Studio, which provides live streaming interactive workouts. Moreover, the entry of new
market players was comparatively easy 5 years ago, owing to the gap in demand and supply in terms of functionality. Simple Design and Leap Fitness
Group held approximately 19.17% and 10.44% share, respectively, of five hundred best-performing apps in Apple Store and Google Play. Running apps
have also witnessed significant growth. This can be attributed to the growing mergers & acquisitions in the market. For instance, five fitness apps
including Runtastic and Runkeeper were acquired by sports apparel brands in 2015-2016.
Several investment firms and capital ventures are investing in the fitness app industry. The effectiveness and adoption of these apps have led to
increased investments in the fitness app sector. In May 2019, Future Fitness announced that it has received USD 8.5 million in Series A funding led by
Kleiner Perkins, an American venture capital firm. Other investors in the company include Khosla Ventures, Caffeinated Capital, Founders Fund, and
Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger. In addition, Fittr raised USD 2.0 million in April 2020. It, in turn, is expected to positively impact the market growth.
Type Insights

key brands, including Jawbone, Fitbit, and Nike. These activity monitoring apps are followed by LG, Pebble, Samsung, and other companies that
integrate activity tracking features in their wearable devices. As per a new IDC report, the demand for smartwatches (/industry-analysis/smartwatches-
market) is anticipated to surpass consumer interest in fitness trackers. However, as per Fitbit, fitness trackers have been still witnessing high demand
over the last few years and are expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Features such as comparing an individual’s
performance with other app users, sharing highlights of daily activity on social media via Instagram stories, etc., and having friendly competition in the
