Dublin, May 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The U.S. Weight Loss Market: 2024 Status Report & Forecast" report from Marketdata LLC has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. weight loss market has achieved an unprecedented milestone, expanding to a remarkable $90 billion in 2023. This significant growth is largely attributed to the explosive sales of GLP-1 prescription weight loss drugs. This trend marks a notable shift toward medical weight loss programs and poses a considerable challenge to commercial diet companies, which have experienced a substantial $1 billion revenue shortfall since 2022.
Impact of GLP-1 Drugs
GLP-1 medications are rapidly altering the weight loss industry landscape with their increasing presence on the market and the anticipated introduction of additional drugs in the forthcoming years. Their influence has reshaped consumer behavior and forced a reevaluation of commercial diet companies’ operational strategies. As a result, non-medical weight loss sectors have witnessed a downturn, culminating in the unfortunate loss of approximately 26,500 weight loss coaching positions.
Adaptation and Growth Segments
In contrast to these declines, the medical field has adapted swiftly, with a growing number of physicians incorporating weight loss into their practice offerings. This has coincided with a rise in bariatric surgeries and growth in both the caseloads and revenues of medical weight loss franchises and practices specializing in weight management.
Comprehensive Market Insights
The industry report offers a thorough analysis of market behavior from 2020 to 2023, developments from competitors, current trends among dieters, diet company advertising expenditures, and a novel examination of the industry's weight loss coaches, including their number and wages.
