In 2016, North America was the largest market for weight loss management supplements. Most of the revenue was derived from meal replacement products and weight-loss supplements and it accounted for more than one-third of the sales.
According to Manjunath Reddy, a lead analyst at Technavio for food “The rise in obesity rates has led to weight management becoming increasingly popular. With focus on satiety, calorie-burning, and fat-burning ingredient properties, weight management has become one of the most significant food trends. The growing demand for weight management is expected to drive the global probiotic dietary supplements market during the forecast period.”
