Market Assessment:

To derive the revenue of the Fitness Equipment Market in UAE, our team followed a streamlined approach which has been described below:

• Primary interviews across UAE with Fitness Centres, Hotel Establishment, Real Estate Agents, Universities and other Industry Veterans etc. through CATI Mode. In this method, interviews are carried out by telephone and are guided by a questionnaire displayed on the screen of a computer. The interviewer records answers via the keyboard to correspond with the pre-coded responses displayed on the screen. The advantage of this method is that, there would be high accuracy as participants can clear their queries related to any questions and we can probe them on answers within the interview on a real time basis which would eliminate any chance of incorrect responses or biasness.
• We ensure that all the questions have been duly inculcated and the desired outcome is achieved post the completion of the process.
• The interview comprised of both subjective as well as objective questions to understand the industry challenges, growth drivers, price points, margins, overall market scenario and other relevant details.

Limitations and Future Conclusion:

• Since the sports equipment market is import oriented with almost negligible share of domestic manufacturing, all the products are imported through multiple distributors and retailers in UAE. In this case, it is difficulty to sanity check the market and understand the total workforce involved in the fitness equipment industry. Hence, estimations have been provided based on the interviews conducted with multiple distributors in UAE.
• The fitness market is highly fragmented with multiple franchise and non-franchise outlets all across UAE providing multiple services and membership packages. For pricing analysis, we have considered single membership option which give access to all the activities and classes in the gym. Similar case has been considered for hotels and resorts gyms.
• As the number of gyms in all establishments is quite high, we have considered 10-15% of the sample and conducted telephonic interviews as reaching out to each centre/ gym was out of scope of the analyst. Based on the information gathered from the sample, estimations have been provided in the research.
