Sports nutrition is one of the strongest supplement categories. The sports and performance field carried a markedly different trajectory through the pandemic than all other supplement sectors — flat in 2020, while supplements as a whole boomed a historic 15% year-over-year growth with immunity, of course, rising multiples higher. Yet by 2022, sports nutrition recovered and experienced one of its highest growth years in decades — as the rest of the supplement world began correcting. Notably, the rise of sports nutrition is a mass market play more than it ever has been, moving out of many specialty retail outlets.
