Offline Segment to Grow Significantly Fueled by Ability to Eliminate Delivery Wait Time

Additionally, the presence of skilled salesmen in stores will help customers to gain in-depth knowledge about numerous products. Besides, offline purchases provide the convenience of after-sale services.

Rising Number of Dual-income Households to Favor Growth in Asia Pacific

• Asia Pacific: It is expected to show robust growth throughout the forthcoming years on account of the rising expenditure on home fitness equipment as a result of dual-income households. Also, rising government initiatives to promote health and physical education in schools would aid growth in the region.

• Europe: The high per capita income is estimated to propel regional growth. A large number of people living in this region are engaged in regular exercises, which, in turn, is anticipated to surge the demand for home fitness equipment.
