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.

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.
