Sports nutrition in Serbia demonstrates notable resilience and dynamism, with value predicted to rise by 10% in current terms to RSD1,737 million in 2026, surpassing both general consumer spending and regional benchmarks in Eastern Europe. The environment is highly attractive due to expanding demand among non-traditional consumers such as students, office workers, and older adults, as well as continued innovation in plant-based and functional protein offerings. Growth is primarily driven by deeper penetration and increased frequency of use rather than population expansion, as overall numbers have declined to 6.5 million, making strategies that target broader wellness needs and convenience essential for sustained success. Brands seeking to thrive should focus on developing accessible, lifestyle-oriented products, leverage omnichannel distribution, especially e-commerce and health and personal care stores, and adapt to heightened competition from private label entrants and rapid channel shifts.

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.
