With the increase in products that stimulate weight loss, such as hoodia diet pills and acai, the weight management market is expected to hit record increases by the year 2014. While projections are still tentative, experts believe that it will go from an approximate $363 billion dollar profitability to a $586 billion, a significant growth for such a short period of time.
In addition to the ingredients for weight loss supplements that are driving percentages up to over 14% of the overall weight loss market, artificial sweeteners are increasing in demand. What used to be almost exclusively an industry for products like Splenda, more natural products that simulate sugar are becoming more popular. This includes newer sweeteners that are safer to use that those that contain aspertame, and those that simulate a less ‘diet’ taste, such as in Coke Zero.
The projections for the sudden boost in profits within this market are not surprisingly, given the obesity epidemic that has been sweeping the entire world. Nearly 2/3 of Americans are thought to be overweight, with the United Kingdom following close behind, and the rest of Europe becoming susceptible as well. The problem has caused many to seek effective diet pills that will help to increase weight loss results, along with proper diet and exercise.
If this trend continues, we can expect to see an increase in demand for natural products, which should drive down costs, but bump profits into a higher margin. This is a better time then even to take advantage of this fact from an investment standpoint, as it looks as though weight management products have a long, and wealth-producing, future ahead of them.
