    Description

    In 2023, it was found that 22.4 percent of men in the United States participated in sports, exercise, and recreational activities daily, compared to only 19.9 percent of women. These statistics highlight a notable difference in the daily engagement of different genders in sporting activities. Other factors influencing this participation include socioeconomic status, age, disability, ethnicity, geography, personal interests, and societal expectations. These barriers can prevent individuals from having equal access to, and opportunities for, sport participation. What role does gender play in sports participation? Historically, many sports have been segregated by gender, with men and women participating in separate leagues and competitions. This segregation has led to a lack of opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports at the same level as men and boys. Additionally, societal attitudes and stereotypes about gender can discourage women and girls from participating in sports or limit their access to resources and support for their athletic pursuits. This often results in fewer women and girls participating in sports and a lack of representation of women and girls in leadership roles within the sports industry. However, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on promoting gender equality in sports and providing equal opportunities for men and women to participate in sports. This includes initiatives to increase funding and support for women's sports, as well as efforts to challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination in the athletic world. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports participation The COVID-19 pandemic led to many people spending more time at home due to lockdowns, remote work, and school closures. This resulted in many people having more time to engage in sports and other physical activities, as seen in the share of the U.S. population engaged in sports and exercise peaking in 2020. With gyms and sports facilities closed or with limited access, many people turned to home-based workouts and other activities. This included activities such as running, cycling, and strength training that could all be done at home with minimal equipment. Online classes and streaming services also saw an increase in usage during the pandemic, providing people with access to a wide range of workout options and fitness programs.

    Description

    Between 2010 and 2023, the average percentage of the U.S. population engaged in sports and leisure activities per day fluctuated. In 2023, the share of both men and women engaged in such activities decreased from the previous year. Approximately 95.5 percent of men were engaged in sport and leisure activities that year, and that figure was 92.7 percent for women. Over the past decade, the year when women were engaged in sport and leisure activities the most was 2021. Meanwhile, the year when men were engaged in sport and leisure activities the most was 2012. How many hours do Americans spend on sports and leisure activities? On average, the number of hours that Americans spent on leisure and sports during weekdays and weekends remained relatively consistent from 2009 to 2023. On weekends and holidays, Americans spent around six hours each day on sports and leisure activities. In contrast, that figure decreased to around four hours on weekdays. The year when Americans spent the most time on sports and leisure activities during weekdays was in 2020, and this was most likely due to stay-at-home measures relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Which age group spends the most time on sports and leisure activities in the U.S.? How much time people can allocate to leisure and recreational activities depends on a variety of factors, ranging from demanding work schedules to familial responsibilities. In 2023, the U.S age group that spent the most time on leisure and sports was 75 years and older. On average, Americans who were 75 years and older spent 7.57 hours on leisure and sports. Meanwhile, Americans aged 35 to 44 spent fewer than four hours on such activities. Following this trend, Americans who were employed part-time allocated more time to sports and leisure in 2023 than Americans who were employed full-time.

    MARKET DYNAMIC

    KEY DRIVERS

    The increasing health-conscious consumers are increasingly consuming Eggshell Membrane powder, thereby favoring the market
    

    The market for Eggshell Membrane powder is rising because of the rising knowledge of the value of physical fitness and good diet, easier access to health and wellness information, and shifting views on mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, and smoking. Customers who are concerned about their health seek out nutritious goods with a range of nutrients and mineral values. The National Institutes of Health describe these individuals as leading "wellness-oriented" lives in which they are aware of their environment, stress levels, food, and degree of fitness. According to the N.I.H., "These customers are excellent consumers for health-related products and services and accept responsibility for their health." Studies show that 93 percent of patrons want to eat healthily at least sometimes, and 63 percent try to do so most of the time. On the other hand, those who sincerely care about their health have made a commitment to living healthy lives, especially about nutrition and protein. The Eggshell Membrane is loaded with protein in the form of collagen and it is a good source of dietary calcium. Moreover, a single eggshell contains 2.07- 0.18 g of calcium. Hence half an eggshell could be providing the amount of calcium that is needed by an adult being per day. Additionally, Eggshell Membrane Powder may help improve exercise performance by reducing muscle damage and inflammation. For instance, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 19.3% of Americans participated in sports and exercised daily in 2019. The percentage of men that participated was greater (20.7%) than the percentage of women (18%). This included engaging in physical activity, sports, and other energetic hobbies. This is enabling the industry to grow even more in the upcoming years. Therefore, the market for eggshell membrane powder is expected to expand in the coming years.

    Rising Trend of Ready to drink (RTD) is giving the eggshell membrane powder a boost
    

    In recent years, a notable shift in consumer preferences towards convenience and on-the-go consumption has spurred the growth of global ready-to-drink (RTD) protein beverages. This trend is a response to the fast-paced modern lifestyle, where consumers seek nutritious and protein-rich options that can be conveniently consumed anytime. RTD protein beverages offer a solution by combining the nutritional benefits of protein with the convenience of portable, pre-packaged drinks, or powdered. eggshell membrane powder can be mixed with one cup of water and can be drunk. Urbanization, busier schedules, longer commutes, and increased work demands have led to a significant shift in consumer behavior. Convenience has become a primary priority for customers, who are looking for products that fit their fast-paced lifestyles. In addition, people's lack of time has led them to search for simple and quick ways to meet their dietary demands. With the rise of snacking and on-the-go consumption, traditional meal patterns have changed. Protein, Nutrition, and Calcium can be easily obtained via RTD protein beverages, which don't need to be prepared. In a similar vein, eggshell membrane powder is packed with vital calcium, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, making it a complete, convenient meal substitute or snack. As a result of its ease of use, the market for eggshell membrane powder is growing.

    Description

    New Mexico tops the list of most stressed states in the U.S. as of 2025, with a stress score of 60.52 out of 100. This ranking considers stress factors related to work, money, family, and health and safety. The findings highlights the ongoing challenges many Americans face in managing various life stressors, which can have significant impacts on mental and physical well-being. Workplace stress remains a major concern The high stress levels observed in New Mexico and other states reflect a broader trend of stress in the American workforce. As of November 2024, 51 percent of U.S. employees reported feeling stressed for much of the previous day. This indicates that workplace stress continues to be a pressing issue for a large portion of the working population, potentially contributing to overall stress levels in various states. Financial concerns and coping mechanisms Financial stress appears to be a significant factor contributing to overall stress levels. In 2022, 39 percent of U.S. adults identified personal finances as a major source of stress. The impact of stress on daily life is further illustrated by the fact that in 2023, 31 percent of adults reported skipping exercise or physical activity in the past month due to stress. This suggests that high stress levels may lead to negative behaviors that could further exacerbate health and well-being issues in stressed states.

    Description

    Multicenter clinical research study aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. At the beginning of the DPP, all 3,234 study participants were overweight and had blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetesa condition called prediabetes. In addition, 45 percent of the participants were from minority groups-African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander-at increased risk of developing diabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. In the DPP, participants from 27 clinical centers around the United States were randomly divided into different treatment groups. The first group, called the lifestyle intervention group, received intensive training in diet, physical activity, and behavior modification. By eating less fat and fewer calories and exercising for a total of 150 minutes a week, they aimed to lose 7 percent of their body weight and maintain that loss. The second group took 850 mg of metformin twice a day. The third group received placebo pills instead of metformin. The metformin and placebo groups also received information about diet and exercise but no intensive motivational counseling. A fourth group was treated with the drug troglitazone (Rezulin), but this part of the study was discontinued after researchers discovered that troglitazone can cause serious liver damage. The participants in this group were followed but not included as one of the intervention groups. In the years since the DPP was completed, further analyses of DPP data continue to yield important insights into the value of lifestyle changes in helping people prevent type 2 diabetes and associated conditions. For example, one analysis confirmed that DPP participants carrying two copies of a gene variant, or mutation, that significantly increased their risk of developing diabetes benefited from lifestyle changes as much as or more than those without the gene variant. Another analysis found that weight loss was the main predictor of reduced risk for developing diabetes in DPP lifestyle intervention group participants. The authors concluded that diabetes risk reduction efforts should focus on weight loss, which is helped by increased exercise.

Similar to physical inactivity rates, Mississippi had the second-highest rates of obesity in 2023 at around ** percent, while Colorado had the lowest rate at around ** percent. Prevalence rates of obesity have grown steadily among U.S. adults over the decade. Activity recommendationsPhysical inactivity not only increases the risk of being overweight or obese, but also raises the risk of developing other diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Due to the increased health risks of inactivity, the U.S. government recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity for adults. Children are recommended to include 60 or more minutes per day for aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening activities three times per week.

Description

In 2023, it was found that 22.4 percent of men in the United States participated in sports, exercise, and recreational activities daily, compared to only 19.9 percent of women. These statistics highlight a notable difference in the daily engagement of different genders in sporting activities. Other factors influencing this participation include socioeconomic status, age, disability, ethnicity, geography, personal interests, and societal expectations. These barriers can prevent individuals from having equal access to, and opportunities for, sport participation. What role does gender play in sports participation? Historically, many sports have been segregated by gender, with men and women participating in separate leagues and competitions. This segregation has led to a lack of opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports at the same level as men and boys. Additionally, societal attitudes and stereotypes about gender can discourage women and girls from participating in sports or limit their access to resources and support for their athletic pursuits. This often results in fewer women and girls participating in sports and a lack of representation of women and girls in leadership roles within the sports industry. However, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on promoting gender equality in sports and providing equal opportunities for men and women to participate in sports. This includes initiatives to increase funding and support for women's sports, as well as efforts to challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination in the athletic world. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports participation The COVID-19 pandemic led to many people spending more time at home due to lockdowns, remote work, and school closures. This resulted in many people having more time to engage in sports and other physical activities, as seen in the share of the U.S. population engaged in sports and exercise peaking in 2020. With gyms and sports facilities closed or with limited access, many people turned to home-based workouts and other activities. This included activities such as running, cycling, and strength training that could all be done at home with minimal equipment. Online classes and streaming services also saw an increase in usage during the pandemic, providing people with access to a wide range of workout options and fitness programs.
