COVID-19 IMPACT

Restrictions on public gatherings led to negative impact on market growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The lever belts market was hardly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic due to decreased demand resulting from closure of gyms and fitness centers. When the world began putting restrictions on public spaces, most weightlifting enthusiasts stopped the activity, thereby reducing the immediate need for specialized equipment. Delay and shortage of goods also came as a result of supply chain disturbances, affecting market growth. It became increasingly difficult to produce and distribute for companies, contributing to reduced sales and financial losses during the peak of the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Shift towards customizable designs and advances in material technology lead market

The latest trends in the lever belts market include a shift towards customizable and ergonomic designs, catering to individual user preferences and comfort. Advances in material technology have led to the development of more durable and lightweight belts, enhancing performance and user experience. Clearly, there is a shifting focus towards eco-friendly and sustainable products, with manufacturers coming up with environment-friendly materials. Besides this, smart technology is being introduced within the belts themselves, such as belt sensors to track posture and lifting form. More and more synergy with professional athletes and influencers creates brand loyalty and consumer engagement.
