IHRSA Europe update
GLOBAL INSIGHT Growth in Asia Pacific is led by the rapidly growing economies of China and India
US$421m in revenue generated from a total of 2,200 health clubs, which maintain some 800,000 memberships.
Asia Pacific The Asia Pacific region serves 17.4 million members at nearly 22,000 health clubs. Health club industry revenue totals US$13.8bn in this region, led by the rapidly growing economies of China and India. Japan is also an industry leader, with a handful of the top 25 global club companies headquartered there. According to the AASFP China Fitness Club Industry Report, the number of members in China grew by nearly 8 per cent: more than 4.8 million people now belong to a health club. The number of club locations also increased by 3.5 per cent in 2013, with the Chinese fitness industry now comprising more than 3,000 health clubs. In Hong Kong, some 600 clubs attract 15.1 per cent of the city population as members. In India, the economy grew by 4.5 per cent between 2012 and 2013. Although this rate represents a decline from recent
24
years, the Indian economy remains strong and awareness of health and fitness continues to grow. Preliminary estimates show that health club revenue grew by 5 per cent, totalling US$535m in 2013. Roughly 440,000 members belong to 1,200 health clubs in India. In Japan, roughly 4 million members belong to 3,500 health clubs, which altogether generate estimated annual revenues of US$5bn. Japan is home to three IHRSA Global 25 industry powerhouses: Central Sports, Konami Sports, and Renaissance. These three health and fitness operations combined generated roughly US$2bn in revenue during 2013 – approximately 40 per cent of the Japanese industry’s total revenue.
Future prospects Looking ahead, the health club industry’s potential for growth looks promising. Supported by existing strong economies and improving global markets, club operators and developers will continue to attract consumers as global awareness of health and physical activity grows. ●
