The Global Fitness Ball Market size is expected to reach $495.5 Million by 2028, rising at a market growth of 8.0% CAGR during the forecast period.

A fitness ball is a hollow spherical structure that is made up of a delicate elastic and is filled with air. It is also known as a yoga ball, exercise ball, pezzi ball, swiss ball, balance ball, physio ball, etc. The diameter of the ball lies between 35cm and 100 cm. Fitness balls are extensively used in physical therapy, workout, and fitness training.

These are highly versatile exercise equipment that can be used in gyms, homes, physical rehabilitation centers, and even in work environments. The primary usage of these balls is in developing physical strength, muscle tone, and balance. This equipment can be used with a wide range of workouts.

For example, a fitness ball can be used in a range of different physical activity disciplines, including Pilates, resistance training, and even simple gym activities like sit-ups, where leaning or sitting on the ball can boost resistance and add additional motions to the workout. Physical therapists were the ones who initially used the fitness ball for rehabilitation. From there, the versatility of the fitness ball was realized, which led to the balls' use in core exercises.

Even if the purpose of the ball workouts is to strengthen the core, using a Swiss ball for exercise also can help relieve back discomfort. Additionally, the core muscles are considered extremely hard to train, but these muscles are easily accessed by using an exercise ball during yoga, Pilates, or simple stretching activities. Keeping the core muscles strong is crucial because they stabilize and assist all of the motions in the body.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The general public grew highly aware of the ill effects of living a sedentary lifestyle. As a result, people were motivated to start working out. Furthermore, since the lockdown measures were in place, more people started working out at home with simple equipment. Among these, the fitness ball was favored the most as it could be used in all three stages of exercise, as a pre-workout, for the main workout routine, and for the post-workout muscle relaxation. Due to the pandemic's widespread impact on consumers' views toward health and wellness, it is projected that this increase in growth of the fitness ball market will persist in the post-COVID-19 environment.

Market Growth Factors

Aids In The Maintenance And Upkeep Of Core And Back Muscles

A fitness ball aids in the reinforcement of muscles supporting the spinal structure. This helps in increasing the strength of the lower back and enhancing the posture. It also improves blood flow, which leads to pain relief. Since sitting on the ball needs concentration and balance. Utilizing a fitness ball, charge the stabilizer muscles present in the core and helps the user in connecting with their center of gravity. The unstable or wobbly surface of the fitness ball engages the core muscles to ensure the balance of the whole body during the exercise. This is propelling the growth of the fitness ball market.

Rising Inclination Of Consumers Toward Living A Healthy Lifestyle

The two behavioral risk factors for strokes and cardiovascular disease that are most important are unhealthy eating and inactivity. As a result, more people prefer to work out at home or in gymnasiums and health clubs. All these elements will assist the fitness ball market's expansion during the forecasted period.

Market Restraining Factors

Prolonged Sitting May Cause Fatigue And Discomfort

If someone sits on the fitness ball for a prolonged period, the absence of arm support, stability, and back support might lead to tiredness. When a person is too exhausted to focus on their balance or posture, prolonged ball sitting might result in injury. This is the opposite of why many people use the ball, and hence, this causes fatigue, which can result in poor posture. According to a research, those sitting on exercise balls had identical drooping and harmful posture patterns as those seated in chairs. This factor may hamper the growth of the fitness ball market in the coming years.
