The growth in the forecast period is expected to result from the growing popularity of fitness and wellness trends, increasing awareness of mental health and weight management, more weight management programs, the rising availability of online platforms for supplement sales, and government and healthcare initiatives promoting healthy lifestyles. Key trends in the forecast period include technological improvements in product delivery methods, innovations in supplement formulations, the use of 3D printing for personalized supplements, nanotechnology for enhanced absorption, and microbiome-focused formulations.
The increasing prevalence of obesity is expected to drive growth in the weight management supplements market. Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, can negatively impact health. The rise in obesity is largely due to the widespread availability and marketing of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor processed foods, which contribute to excessive energy intake that exceeds physical activity levels in many populations. Weight management supplements can help manage obesity by enhancing metabolism, reducing appetite, or boosting fat burning when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. For example, in September 2024, the National Health Service England reported that in 2022, 29% of adults were obese, and 64% were either overweight or obese, with the rates rising with age. Obesity rates were 36% for adults aged 55 to 64 and 35% for those aged 64 to 74. Thus, the increasing prevalence of obesity is driving the growth of the weight management supplements market.
