Healthy lifestyle and awareness of bad effects on obesity are helping increase in increasing weight training equipment market value.

The driving trends for the weight training market are increasing awareness about obesity and unhealthy lifestyle, increasing demand of gyms due to urbanisation and expanding advertisements and promotional activities for fitness programmes. Majority of the population all over the world is suffering from obesity and diabetes. These are chronic diseases and affect daily lifestyle of an individual. There are certain dangers of obesity, as it leads to other diseases. There are health complications requiring surgeries to solve them. To avoid all these complications, people are going to gyms and starting exercising daily.

More and more people are starting a fitness programme at local gyms or on their own using fitness applications or online trainers. These applications and trainers give advices and personalised diets to help reducing or gaining weight, along with all this routine, mild weight training is also included.

High cost and second hand sale of weight training equipment are restraining the market growth.

The main restraints to the weight training market are high cost of equipment and setups for weight training and increasing resale of the equipment instead of purchasing new ones.

The weight training equipment are made using steel and other materials, and these materials are expensive. The equipment like dumbbells and weights plates are available in different forms and weights, and as they change, material required also increases, increasing the cost of manufacturing. The dumbbells are always found in pair and weight plates are also available in set of multiple weights. Such package makes them expensive. So, when it comes to buying a personal weight training equipment set, many people cannot afford them.

Setting and maintaining a programme that includes exercise is really challenging. People buy exercise equipment, work out for a few days, and then eventually give up. People resale the equipment at a loss to make some money because it is just sitting around. Getting new or barely used equipment at cheaper costs draws customers and hence lower pricing for sales from retailers and manufacturers has a negative effect on the market.
