The Most Comprehensive Study About The U.S. Weight Loss Market–Since 1989
The U.S. Weight Loss & Diet Control Market
March 2023 427 Pages 160 tables/charts Price: $1,995
The $75 billion U.S. weight loss market grew nearly 15% last year from
the depressed level of 2020. Most segments of the market have recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic and recession. The big story of 2022 has been the soaring demand for new obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Saxenda, with more new drugs coming soon. The market may be entering a new era of medical approaches. Even Weight Watchers is now providing a medical plan.
The frozen diet entrees market and diet soft drinks have shown surprising
strength, but the health clubs industry was devasted by the pandemic and emerges
as a smaller sector. Supply chain disruptions affected the MLM market for meal
replacements into 2021 and 2022, tamping down growth for Herbalife and
Medifast. The ranks of commercial weight loss centers have been thinned out,
and chains had to pivot to virtual client meetings and drop shipping of
products.
Do-it-yourself plans still abound as consumers use free diet &
fitness apps. Many untapped niches still exist. This is a completely revised and updated
analysis of Marketdata’s best-selling biennial study about the U.S. weight loss
market. This is the most comprehensive investigation of the U.S. weight loss
