identify the factors that
will influence its future.
Key areas the report will

behaviors, and the rising
significance of capital
markets.
A central
focus will be the projected
growth of the Saudi fitness

2030’s health and wellbeing
goals, rising female
participation, and increased
investor activity are
accelerating expansion, with
the expected value of the

The findings also
cover the competitive
dynamics of the sector,
outlining how established
players are consolidating
their positions while new
regional and international

ambitious rollout plans.
Alongside revenue trends
and consumer insights, the

acquisitions and IPOs are
reshaping the business
environment and the
opportunities for public and
private stakeholders to work
together to sustain

a vital resource for the
