The global weight loss & weight management market is expected to reach USD 264.68 billion by 2025 growing at a CAGR of 5.3% over the study period. Increasing obese population coupled with rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the market growth over the study period. Obesity is a prolonged health problem, which now affects greater population groups across the globe. Experts across the globe estimate that the rates have reached so high that obesity is now an epidemic. Obesity & overweight are risky conditions as they can contribute to a wide range of varied health problems, for example heart disease & diabetes.

Obesity and malnutrition are the two prominent aspects of one crisis. Approximately 1/3rd of the world is obese or overweight, leading to growth of chronic diseases in emerging economies. But many people in the developing nations lack access to affordable treatments for chronic diseases and its cost to a nation’s economic and physical health is potentially dangerous. The below table depicts the total number of undernourished population in different countries of the world and tackling the obesity burden in the developing economies leverages a huge amount of opportunities for the weight loss and weight management companies.

In terms of equipment, surgical equipment contributed over 90% of the global market in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Surgeries are mostly done on highly obese patients on which diet doesn’t work. Increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in countries such as China, India, and other emerging economies is expected to be potential markets for weight loss & management services in coming years.

On the basis of diet, beverages accounted for majority of the market share in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominance by 2025. However, diet meals segment is expected to grow at a fastest CAGR over the study period pertaining to inclination of consumers towards customized diet plans and regimes available both online and offline.

The global market in terms of fitness equipment is highly fragmented in nature on account of presence of a large number of players on regional level. Whereas in terms of surgical procedures, a limited number of hospitals specialize in bariatric surgeries. Bariatric medical tourism is also prominent in regions such as North America where Mexico is the most preferred destination for patients travelling from the U.S. and Canada.
