Endurance Sports Nutrition Market to Reach New Heights by 2034 Amid Growing Demand from Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts
Athletes fueling performance with science-backed endurance nutrition — driving a global market surge through 2034
Pune, India – June 11, 2025 – The global Endurance Sports Nutrition Market is poised for substantial growth over the forecast period of 2025 to 2034, according to a new industry report published by Quintile Reports. Driven by the rising popularity of endurance sports such as marathons, triathlons, cycling, and ultra-running, the market is projected to register a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.25%, reaching a value of 114.62 billion by 2034.
Increasing consumer focus on fitness, energy management, and post-workout recovery is significantly driving the demand for scientifically formulated sports nutrition products. A surge in health awareness, particularly post-pandemic, is also fueling the consumption of clean-label, plant-based, and customized endurance nutrition solutions.
The Endurance Sports Nutrition market is rapidly evolving, driven by a growing base of professional and amateur athletes engaging in long-duration physical activities such as marathons, triathlons, cycling races, and ultra-endurance events. These sports require strategic nutritional support to optimize stamina, delay fatigue, maintain hydration, and support post-activity recovery. As a result, there has been a notable surge in the demand for energy gels, electrolyte beverages, protein powders, BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids), and recovery bars. These products are specifically engineered to provide sustained energy release, improve muscular endurance, and reduce oxidative stresskey factors for enhanced performance during prolonged exertion.
A major growth driver for the market is the increasing awareness of physical fitness and its correlation with long-term health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 28% of adults aged 18 and over were not active enough globally in 2022, falling short of the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week. As governments and health organizations ramp up campaigns promoting physical activity, participation in endurance sports is steadily rising. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for health consciousness, with a large segment of the population turning to outdoor sports and fitness routines, thereby increasing consumption of performance-oriented nutrition products.
“The intersection of innovation, personalization, and growing sports culture is reshaping the endurance nutrition landscape,” said a lead analyst at Quintile Insights. “Brands focusing on science-backed, sustainable, and user-specific products will lead the charge into the next decade.”
