Diet & Nutrition Market

The global nutrition industry has grown exponentially over the last few years to reach $226.1 billion in 2006. This industry consists of various categories of nutrition products such as functional food, dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs/botanicals, sports nutrition, meal replacement and specialty), natural/organic food, and personal care and household products.

The primary markets for nutraceuticals and functional foods are the industrialized countries or regions with greater levels of economic development such as the US, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

Increasing health and obesity concerns drive demand for:

Nutritional food: Rising health and obesity concerns are leading to a noticeable change in eating habits. Tasty but fattening foods and beverages are being gradually replaced by healthier substitutes. Awareness of the health risks linked to obesity are rising and people are becoming more conscious of unhealthy diets resulting from busy lifestyle and intake of food with low nutritional value. Better taste, quality and guaranteed availability of more nutritious foods in convenience stores will help drive growth for the nutritional products industry.

Weight loss programs: The US has the highest percentage of overweight and severely overweight citizens, with 65% of the adult population (people aged 18 years and above) falling into one of these two categories. Due to the growing threat of obesity, demand remains strong for all forms of weight loss programs, fueling a $55 billion US industry. The US market for weight loss programs is expected to grow 6% annually to reach $58.7 billion in 2007 and $68.7 billion by 2010. The retail market for weight management products was estimated at $0.93 billion for Europe and $3.93 billion for the US in 2006.
