Industry
Overview
There are close
to 28+ organized fitness center brands operating in the Kingdom along with
unorganized fitness centers. While the overall industry has been identified at
a high growth stage, the competition in the industry is witnessed to be fragmented
in nature, in terms of number of players. A high degree of fitness centers in
the Kingdom are unorganized and independent, while the presence of organized fitness
center brands is limited to major cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al
Khobar, Makkah and Medinah. Players compete on the basis of Price, Membership
Offers, Center Facilities, Personal Training, Ambience, Services Offered and
Locations.
Industry
Segmentation
The unorganized
segment largely dominates the industry, penetrating smaller regions such as
Tabuk, Jubail, Safwa and others. Moreover, the lower fees charged by
unorganized centers, allows them to generate a wider customer base. Majority of
the fitness centers in the country are concentrated in the cities of Riyadh,
Dammam, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Makkah and Medinah, largely due to the high
population in these cities and their status of being major commercial, industrial
and religious hubs. Customer have been identified to prefer 3 months and annual
memberships plans in fitness centers, due to the fee-based discounts offered by
fitness center operators along with the additional services such as
complimentary account freezing provided. While the male segment was identified
to dominate the customer profile for fitness services in the kingdom, the
female segment is strongly growing on the back of a rapid increase in the
number of women fitness centers and a growing fitness awareness among the women
in the Kingdom.
Trends
in the Industry
There has been a
remarked focus on developing women centers in the Kingdom, spurred by the
favorable judgment from the General Authority of Sports. Many fitness players
are now focusing a large part of their future strategies on capitalizing on the
growing Female Fitness segment, by opening female gyms. As part of the Vision
2030 plans, the Saudi Government launched the National Transformation Plan,
which focuses on promoting health and wellness among people in the country and
improving the number of physically active people in the Kingdom, from 13% to
40% by 2030. There has been a focus on specialized and concept fitness centers,
with Crossfit, Kickboxing, HIIT and Zumba leading the exercises in demand by
fitness center members in the country. A heavy spread of awareness among the
normally physically unfit Saudi population, is resulting in high demand for
fitness services, particularly by people from the age of 20 years to 45 years.
Competition
Scenario in the Industry
KSA is an
emerging country in terms of industry competition, making it a fierce
battlefield for new and existing fitness-center brands trying to
operate/succeed and to make profits. Major existing fitness center players hold
brand loyalty especially among professionals, due to safety concerns associated
with using fitness equipment. This makes it difficult for new players to enter
the market. Establishing a large fitness center that provides all services
including spa, pool, steam bath, lockers, showers, Jacuzzi along with gym
services has also prevented companies from scaling their businesses over a
certain geographic limit. The three factors that mainly contribute to the high
cost of establishing a fitness center have been the cost of acquiring land,
cost of hiring trained and certified fitness professionals and cost of buying
gym equipment. This has been discouraging new players with low capital from
entering the market. A gradual consumer shift towards brand acceptance and new
demand for female specific fitness centers has encouraged service providers to
explore and probably convert this demand in their favor.
Future
Strategies-The Way Forward
A special focus
must be laid on penetration of the relatively nascent women fitness segment in
the industry in Saudi Arabia. Inclusion of customized workouts, with growth in
adoption for personal training programs is expected to come into effect in a
few years from now. Provision of value-added services such as free membership
freezing, couple discounts, locker room facility, free showers, sauna, spa will
ultimately aid fitness brands to target a wider chunk of the customer segments
and increase the fitness services penetration rate in the country. Expansion
plans of many fitness centers will be put on hold, for a while as the Covid
situation hits the short-term and long-term business sustainability for gyms in
the Kingdom. In future, the Saudi Arabia Fitness Services Industry is expected
to grow at a CAGR of ~10.7% during the period 2019-2025.
