Obesity is also referred to as "globesity" as it has become a global public health crisis. The condition has a considerable effect on the musculoskeletal system, resulting in the degeneration of bones, cartilage, and ligaments. According to the study published by the WHO, the incidence of obesity among the population has tripled during 1975-2020. The vast prevalence of obesity is associated with unhealthy habits such as frequent junk food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, genetic conditions, and mental health deprivation. Most athletes and enthusiastic individuals who want to lose weight fall into two categories. Firstly, one who is obese based on body-fat levels. Secondly, one who is already lean but desires additional body fat loss. Some of these athletes fall into weight-sensitive, for example, endurance athletes, ski jumping, weight-class (e.g., wrestling, judo), or aesthetically judged (e.g., gymnastics, figure skating) sports. For athletes with extra body fat, weight loss could improve sports performance and lower the risk of chronic disease. A research study found that 21% of their division 1 college football players (mean age, 20 years) were obese (≥25 % body fat) and had insulin resistance, while 9% had metabolic syndrome (all obese). Thus, for these athletes, weight loss helps enhance performance and prevent the development of severe chronic disorders. Thus, overweight status among athletes drives their focus on sports nutrition products. Hence, the increased prevalence of obesity bolsters the sports nutrition market growth.

Market Overview
The sports nutrition market in Europe, by country, is segmented into the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The UK dominated the market in 2022. The growth of the regional market is attributed to the increasing number of promotional activities and the involvement of consumers in sports.

Carni-Tone is the company's first flavored spring water and addition to the company's ready-to-drink (RTD) portfolio.

In addition, in April 2021, The European Union of Specialists in Sports Nutrition (ESSNA) announced that it is calling on the UK government to ensure food restrictions aimed at tackling childhood obesity do not hinder the sports nutrition segment. The statement argued that the UK government "poorly defined" the model that would be used to classify HFSS foods (those foods high in fat, sugar, and salt) that put children at risk. Further, the rise in government initiatives for advancing sport and increasing funding for sports industry will fuel the sports nutrition market in the UK in the coming years.Europe Sports Nutrition Market Segmentation
