Sports nutrition in Belgium is achieving strong growth momentum in 2026, as retail value sales are projected to rise by 11% in current terms to EUR60.7 million. The category's attractiveness is underpinned by expanding mainstream adoption, with protein-rich foods now part of daily diets for diverse groups including women, older adults, and those seeking convenient solutions for weight management, healthy ageing, and satiety, supported by broadening access through supermarkets, health and personal care stores, and discounters. The competitive landscape is becoming more fragmented as both new and established brands, alongside private label products, target the growing base of everyday users with innovations that emphasise natural ingredients, multifunctionality, and affordability. For sustained success, brands must prioritise differentiation through innovation, focus on product formats that deliver convenience and added health benefits, and strengthen partnerships with leading retailers to secure prominent placement and reach wider audiences.
