Global weight loss supplement market by retail stores: largest segment
The global weight loss supplement market by retail stores was valued at USD 2.21 billion in 2015. Retail stores, which include supermarkets and drugstores, account for the largest share of the global weight loss supplement market. This is mainly due to the wide range of products they have to offer, which allows customers to compare products of different brands. The growth of retail stores can be attributed to the favorable investment climate in developing regions such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America, coupled with an increase in urbanization, growth of the middle class, and rise in the number of employed women.
Global weight loss supplement market by direct selling: second-largest segment
The global weight loss supplement market by direct selling was valued at USD 624.9 million in 2015. The global weight loss supplement market by direct selling is growing fast. Manufacturers are focusing on selling weight loss supplements directly to consumers to be able to interact with them through sales representatives. This enables them to understand consumer requirements and get feedbacks of their offerings. It also helps manufacturers to lower operational costs. As a result, many manufacturers of weight loss supplements are likely to stick to direct selling during the forecast period.
Global weight loss supplement market by online
The global weight loss supplement market by online was valued at USD 607.2 million in 2015 and is the fastest growing segment. China and the US were the leading end-users in 2015, accounting for 55% of the global online sales. The online segment of the global weight loss supplement market is quickly gaining ground and increasing competitiveness by shortening delivery time. Consumer preference is therefore shifting in favor of online portals owing to their convenience and round-the-clock availability. Growing number of online websites are offering a broad range of weight loss supplements, thereby increasing the demand for these products, especially among working individuals who seek accessibility and convenience.
