While marginal weight loss can be attained through personal efforts,
weight and obesity problems require the intervention of weight management products and services. This market is driven by the growing demand for weight
management services, the increasing incidence of child obesity, the

increasing popularity of organic and healthy food, the emergence of Asians as
big spenders on health and fitness products, and the rising health and
fitness consciousness amongst women. The primary targets are individuals
wanting to maintain their weight and body fitness, and those looking to lose
weight quickly.


The food and beverage (F&B) market is the largest segment and is expected
to reach US$215.9 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 10.8%. Devices and accessories
and services markets are estimated to record revenues of US$180.8 billion and

US$ 181.6 billion respectively on account of the demand for fitness services.
However, drugs, supplements and cosmetics markets are estimated to be only
US$ 7.9 billion in 2014. However, this market presents immense opportunities
as no blockbuster drug has yet been introduced in the market.


The North American market is the largest geographical segment; and is
expected to be worth US$253.7 billion by 2014. Its 11.5% CAGR for 2009 to
2014 is driven by the greater availability of weight management products and
services. The second largest segment is Europe, with a CAGR of 10.2%. It is

expected to reach US$196.3 billion by 2014.
