As per a recent research, in 2014, about 20 million women were reported to be obese as compared to 9.8 million men. However, lower prevalence rate of obesity and lower urbanization rate of India as compared to China and Japan have restricted the penetration of connected gym equipment in the region. As per a study, in 2011, the number of health clubs were reported to be around 3,800, and the total number of memberships were in the range of 0.94-0.95 million. Moreover, as per recent statistics, in 2014, about 41% of the population are present in the age group of 18-45 years, and 25% of the population belong to the age group of 45 years. This has led to relatively higher penetration of strength over cardiovascular equipment in the region. The region is expected to witness significant adoption of cardiovascular as well as strength equipment due to the booming youth population and increasing health consciousness among individuals in this region. Thus, Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region during the forecast period.

Analyst Review
Connected gym equipment market is projected to witness a sharp growth in the coming years owing to requirement of smart gym equipment across residential and commercial sector. North America is the largest market for connected gym equipment across the world. A larger base of obese population in the region has led to higher adoption of smart dumbbells, kettlebells, cross trainer, and other equipment. The market is driven by the prevalence of high obesity rates, which has led to greater adoption of connected gym equipment in the region. Rise in obesity rates, increase in health consciousness, and awareness of benefits provided by these smart devices would lead to larger number of new fitness facilities to set up and increase in membership rates. Such factors are expected to boost the requirement of the connected gym equipment market in the region.
Increase in disposable income and rapid economic growth in Asia-Pacific have led to sedentary lifestyles and increased spending on fast foods, leading to unhealthy lifestyles. This has increased the incidence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and other bone diseases. Growth in awareness among people about long-term consequences of such diseases has encouraged people to stay fit by working out at gyms and fitness centers. The use of strength training equipment among the youth population is expected to increase at a faster pace in the near future. These factors are anticipated to make Asia-Pacific, the fastest growing regions in the connected gym equipment industry during the forecast period.
