Key trends shaping the Australian sports equipment industry including home gyms, sustainability, and B2B e-commerce.
The Australian sports and fitness equipment market continues to evolve in 2026, driven by home gym investments, boutique fitness studio growth, and increasing interest in outdoor sports.
Home Gym Growth: Post-pandemic investment in home fitness remains strong, with compact equipment and connected fitness devices leading sales. Smart bikes and mirrors are the fastest-growing category.
Sustainability: Consumers increasingly favour brands with transparent manufacturing and recyclable materials. Several Australian manufacturers now offer equipment made from recycled steel and sustainably sourced timber.
E-commerce B2B: More suppliers are adopting digital-first wholesale platforms, making it easier for gym owners and retailers to source equipment without the traditional trade show model.
