Increasing Prevalence of Obesity across Developing Countries Is Accelerating the Growth of the Weight Loss Diet Products Market
Weight
loss diet products have been available in the market for many years. They come
in various forms such as appetite suppressants, meal substitutes, and quick
weight loss supplements.
The
growing obese population around the globe is driving the growth of the weight
loss diet products market. According to the World Health Organization,
in 2019, an estimated 38.2 million children under the age of 5 years were
overweight or obese. Overweight and
obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly
in urban settings. Almost half of the children under 5 who were overweight or
obese in 2019 lived in Asia. Moreover, the growing prevalence of various
chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is again
fostering the growth of the market. Changing eating habits coupled with the
sedentary lifestyle is again increasing the cases of obesity which is further
augmenting the growth of the weight loss diet products market.
From
the geographical point of view, North America is projected to gain significant
growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the high burden of
chronic disease coupled with the growing awareness regarding weight loss
products. According to the National Health Council, chronic diseases affect
around 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the total
population of this country. By 2020, that number is projected to grow to an
estimated 157 million, with 81 million having multiple conditions
