In 2020, the global sport nutrition market was valued at nearly $17 billion USD and was projected to grow to $31–33 billion USD by 2027–2028.

Sports nutrition products, initially used predominantly by bodybuilders and other athletes, are now popular among a broader audience, including amateur athletes and individuals who may use sports products to support active lifestyles. They may be used to enhance recovery post exercise, build lean mass, aid weight loss, and improve athletic performance.
