Sports nutrition in Canada is expected to remain resilient, supported by growing adoption beyond traditional gym-goers. Demand is increasingly being driven by consumers seeking support for active lifestyles, everyday wellness and healthy ageing, creating opportunities for brands to expand beyond core fitness audiences. Both sports protein and sports non-protein products are expected to benefit from this broadening appeal. The competitive landscape is expected to remain fragmented, with domestic brands such as Allmax leveraging Canadian manufacturing credentials and local brand equity to strengthen their position. At the same time, the growing importance of e-commerce is reshaping product discovery and purchasing behaviours, increasing the need for effective digital engagement and online visibility. Brands are therefore expected to focus on digital optimisation, domestic production credentials and innovation tailored to the needs of women, older adults and health-conscious consumers. Growth prospects remain positive as sports nutrition evolves from a performance-focused proposition into a wider wellness offering. New formats, including protein RTDs and pre-workout products, are expected to attract consumers seeking convenient solutions, while continued product innovation supports engagement with digitally savvy and convenience-oriented shoppers.

Sports Nutrition
These nutritional products improve physical endurance, increasing muscle growth/development/mass, or speeding recovery after exercise. Sports nutrition is targeted at serious athletes and gym-goers, and their principal purpose is to build muscle and to boost energy. Sports Nutrition tracks two types of products: Protein and Non-Protein. Sports protein include bars, powder and ready-to-drink (RTD) offerings. Sports Non-Protein include products that do not have protein as its core ingredient. They can be used to repair muscle or as energy/endurance booster. Note: Mainstream sports nutrition products such as sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade) or energy drinks (e.g. Red Bull) are not included here. Energy and sports drinks are tracked in the Soft Drinks system.
