DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The U.S. Weight Loss & Diet Control Market" report, by Marketdata LLC, has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. weight loss market reached a record $78 billion in 2019, but suffered a 21% decline in value during 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and recession.
However, there were bright spots. Commercial chains held up well, as did the meal replacements market, frozen diet entrées and multi-level marketing channels.
Major Findings:
- Revenues of the major commercial weight loss chains such as WW, NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, Medifast and others actually held up well last year, growing by an estimated 6.8% in 2020 to $4.07 billion.
- Multi-level marketing companies constitute a major force in the weight loss market, with the top 8 firms accounting for $3.4 billion in 2020 sales. Included in this group are Medifast, Herbalife, Shaklee, BeachBody, AMWAY, USANA, Isagenix and more.
- Meal replacements and retail appetite suppressants (diet pills) sales held up well in 2020. They have largely escaped the effects of the pandemic due to their easy availability and low price. MLM and internet/mail order channels remained open during the pandemic. Meal replacements (shakes, nutrition bars) accounted for $3.0 billion and retail diet pills accounted for $2.08 billion in sales.
- Hospitals and clinics, focused on treatingCovid-19 patients, cancelled elective surgeries such as weight loss procedures. Consequently, this segment of the market fell 20% from $8.8 billion to $7.1billion in 2020. Bariatric surgeries declined from 256,000 to an estimated 205,000.
- Revenues of health & fitness clubs took a major hit, declining by 37% from $35 billion to $22 billion, due to pandemic-related closures. This is one of the hardest hit segments of the weight loss market, as these facilities were among the first to close and among the last to reopen for business.
Technology became more important, as Zoom meetings, apps and streaming services soared in usage. Due to pend-up demand and consumer weight gain in 2020, most providers are looking for a strong rebound in 2021, as Americans are vaccinated and businesses reopen.
Do-it-yourself plans still abound as consumers use free diet & fitness apps. Many untapped niches still exist.
