Financial Analysis

Trend Analysis

Technogym has demonstrated resilience and an ability


to grow with iconic achievements. For instance, the
significant 20% growth in 2021 over 2020, despite
the global pandemic, highlights a strong market
demand, possibly fueled by a surge in home fitness.
However, the growth has been driven mainly by the
B2B market, despite of the B2C opportunity.

Home Fitness Boom

The 71% growth in the home fitness segment in


2020 suggests that this market segment was a key
driver. As the world normalizes, we must assess if this
trend is sustainable or if there will be a rebalancing
towards traditional gym equipment. We must
readdress our marketing efforts to produce a better
performance towards the Home Line and home market
segment.

Working out from your safe space
Key insight:

Gyms have undesirable situations for some users. Working out from home presents a better
option.
More time in the car than working out…

“I don't know how to use the machines and I feel embarrassed”

Not knowing which routine to follow while everybody seems to know

Other users not cleaning the machines after they use it

“I don't feel confident with my body in exercise clothes”

Someone else has loud music or makes disturbing noises

“Smells bad in there”

That annoying man is again trying to talk to you

Conclusions
Conclusions

Technogym faces a big opportunity in the B2C market. The company has brand positioning and innovation capabilities to strengthen
its position in this area through the Home Line equipment and Technogym 4.0 digital ecosystem

The marketing approach should focus in creating a community as this is a huge motivator for working out. Creating a community
will also have a multiplier effect as this will expand brand awareness beyond equipment and into the Physical activity industry.

Campaigns must target users with messages that connect with the Key Insights presented in the 3 strategies. This intends to show
the users the benefits of working out from home without losing the connection and motivation driven by community.

It is crucial to follow the implementation of the strategies with the metrics presented. Nevertheless, alignment through different areas
of the company should be done with the 3 KPIs in the main dashboard.
