'North America Weight Loss/Obesity Management Market - [Meal Replacements, Slimming Centers, Nutrition & Psychological Consultancy, Treadmill, Ellipticals, Strength Training, Gastric Bypass, Intragastric Balloon System, StomaphyX] - Forecasts to 2017 '
Obesity and weight gain have always been major concerns in the health and fitness of individuals; today, it has reached the level of an epidemic. Increasing obesity rates and growing levels of awareness among calorie-conscious consumers in North America have opened up new avenues for the weight management industry.
The North American weight management market has witnessed a growing preference for low-calorie diet food and beverages and slimmer waters/natural mineral salt drinks. With the introduction of technologically advanced and highly sophisticated fitness equipment, the use of cardiovascular and strength training equipment is on the rise. However, factors such as the availability of low-cost alternatives, adoption of deceptive marketing strategies, and the high costs of customized services are hindering growth.
The quick results of weight loss surgeries and insurance coverage have made bariatric surgeries popular among clinically obese people. However, the considerable side-effects of these weight loss surgeries have made people opt for non-invasive and non-medical methods of weight loss. As per the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, the total number of weight loss surgeries performed in the U.S. was 220,000 in 2012, likely to increase in the coming years due to the rising obesity rate. In Canadian hospitals, a total of 2,385 bariatric procedures were carried out in 2008-2009; a 92% increase from 2004-2005.
