Fuelling Women’s Workouts

Despite rising female participation in fitness, the majority of women globally still feel underserved and unsupported when it comes to sports nutrition advice and targeted products. A new wave of female-focused brands and research is hoping to empower women and fuel their performance, health and longevity with science-backed, targeted nutrition to meet their specific needs.

Serving Sports Nutrition Priorities

Jitter-free concentration, multifunctional hydration, post-workout recovery and peak performance are key areas of focus for fitness enthusiasts in 2025. As such, sports nutrition brands are developing science-backed caffeine alternatives, recovery-enhancing botanicals and performance-boosting bicarbonates that address every stage of the fitness cycle.

Cleaner, Safer & Transparent

With rising consumer scrutiny regarding efficacy and safety standards in the nutrition market at large, trust and transparency is vital for sports nutrition producers. Clean-label formulations and third-party certifications are helping provide sceptical health-conscious consumers with proof of product ingredient claims, while sustainability and wellness concerns are driving growth in the plant-based nutrition category.
