Creatine Market
The creatine market was valued at $0.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $0.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2033.
Creatine is an organic compound naturally present in the body of animals and humans. It is an energy source that assists the skeletal muscles in contraction. Various protein-rich foods such as animal milk, red meat, and sea food are a great source of creatine for the body. Inside the body, the compound is produced in pancreas, liver, and kidneys. Approximately 95% of the developed creatine is supplied to the skeletal muscles while a very short amount to transferred to the brain, heart, and other body tissues.
With increasing awareness about health and fitness trends, the creatine market is being driven significantly due to rising demand for health supplements containing creatine. In addition, surge in the popularity of strength training and bodybuilding sports is boosting the requirement for creatine for enhanced muscle strength. In the future, the usage of creatine for the improvement of cognitive functions is anticipated to be a prominent trend. According to some ongoing research, creatine doses are anticipated to reverse fatigue-related cognitive deterioration & metabolic alterations and assist in neuroprotection & short-term memory loss prevention in elderly individuals.
However, the intake of creatine supplements and medications causes severe side effects such as dehydration, gastrointestinal discomfort, or kidney strain in some individuals. This reduces the consumption of supplements and restrains the growth of the creatine market. In addition, increase in the popularity of veganism is hampering the growth of the market as creatine is generally extracted from animal sources. Contrarily, the development of vegan creatine and availability of several proven scientific studies supporting the uptake of the compound in limited doses for minimal to zero side effects is anticipated to open new avenues for the market expansion. According to a recent report by Max Health Living, a health and fitness publication, the human body breaks down 1.5-2 grams of creatine each day depending upon the body size. This is projected to boost the uptake of creatine supplements in the coming future.
