NBJ Live: Sports nutrition and weight management

In 2021, American consumers clambered off the couch encumbered by the notorious "COVID 10" weight gain and spent big on sports nutrition and weight management products. Hydration and energy beverages were especially big winners as the combined markets spiked by 21.6%.  

Three years later, the sales growth has settled down, but 2023 numbers showed sports nutrition is still on top as the fastest-growing category in the supplement industry. 

Join New Hope Network's Nutrition Business Journal Senior Analyst Erika Craft, Editor-in-Chief Rick Polito and New Hope Content and Insights Director Bill Giebler to learn what is driving the growth, how consumers approach sports nutrition purchases and why Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs could impact products across the sports nutrition spectrum.
