In 2024, North America held the highest share of total market revenue. Several factors—including expanded network coverage, widespread smartphone usage, a rising incidence of chronic conditions, and a growing elderly population—are fueling the adoption of fitness applications in the region. The United States leads the global market for fitness apps. A major contributor to this growth is the strong uptake of mobile health (mHealth) solutions across North America. The COVID-19 pandemic further amplified fitness app usage, with a survey by Freeletics revealing that 74.0% of Americans used at least one fitness app during lockdowns. Additionally, 60.0% of these users expressed plans to cancel their gym memberships.
The U.S. was the largest contributor to North America's fitness app market in 2024. Increased public awareness about personal health and daily fitness tracking has driven higher app adoption rates, while also attracting numerous new entrants to the industry. Furthermore, strategic partnerships between major industry players are leading to the development of more advanced applications. For example, in April 2019, Google collaborated with Apple Inc. to launch the Google Fit app for iOS, which supports fitness goals based on guidelines from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association.
Asia Pacific is expected to represent the most promising regional market throughout the forecast period, driven by greater adoption of mobile health technologies and the rising use of smartphones and wearable devices. Increased affordability is enabling more people to access fitness apps via smartphones. Factors such as higher healthcare spending, growing obesity rates, and an expanding base of professional athletes are encouraging both government bodies and private organizations to explore new fitness models. For instance, an article from the World Economic Forum in September 2020 reported that downloads of health and fitness apps in India surged by 157%, bringing in 58 million new users.
In Japan, the market is expected to grow due to the proliferation of fitness gadgets, increased personal investment in physical activity, supportive government initiatives, rising health awareness, and a growing number of fitness centers. The significant rise in smartphone usage in Japan has also been a key enabler in the adoption of health-focused applications among consumers.
