Home fitness equipment
The home fitness equipment market is seeing steady growth. The industry was valued at USD 3.84 billion in 2021, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2022 and 2028. Market growth is due to a continuing interest in health spurred by the pandemic, as well as an increasing popularity of digital workout solutions.

Although we’ve previously discussed resale as a service (RaaS), ecommerce tech is a specific section of RaaS and is the selling of previously owned tech products through online marketplaces. Overall, the recommerce market grew twice as fast as the wider retail market in 2021, and is expected to reach $178 billion by the end of 2022, totaling $289 billion by 2027.

Caused by an increasing number of food allergies and dietary restrictions, gluten-free products were estimated to be worth $5.9 billion in 2021 with an expected CAGR growth rate of 9.8% between 2022 and 2030. In addition, Covid-19 impacted the gluten-free product industry growth as it triggered a renewed interest in health and wellness.
