VII.企業資訊
US demand to grow 6.9% per year through 2008
Demand for weight control products and services in the US will advance 6.9
percent annually to over $21 billion in 2008. Weight control products are
projected to generate demand of $12 billion in 2008, which will represent an
average annual gain of 6.3 percent from 2003.
Based on aging demographic
patterns and an increasing incidence of chronic medical conditions, parenteral
and enteral nutritional preparations will continue to generate the largest share
of demand among weight control products. The same factors, together with the
ongoing introduction of specialized nutritionals for diabetic, cancer and other
chronic care patients, will impact favorably on growth opportunities for meal
supplements. Meal replacements will also benefit from the introduction of new
high value-added offerings, especially in the area of low carb health bars and
beverages.
Shaken up by the recent FDA ban on ephedra, demand for weight loss
dietary supplements will remain volatile over the ext few years as new
reformulated preparations vie for market share in a very competitive
environment. By contrast, prescription weight control pharmaceuticals will
sustain more stable demand patterns from rising applications in the treatment of
obesity, anorexia nervosa and other weight-related conditions.
Services to rise 7.7% per annum through 2008
The weight control services segment (excluding health clubs) is projected to
ad-vance 7.7 percent annually to $9.2 billion in 2008. Growth will reflect a
greater number of program memberships attributable to an aging and increasingly
health conscious population, stepped up efforts by medical professionals to
combat the overweight epidemic, and aggressive marketing tactics implemented by
weight control program operators.
Medically supervised programs will continue
to be the largest category among non-surgical weight control services,
reflecting staff credentials and expertise,expertise, breadth of services and
better overall results. Total revenues generated by these programs will increase
7.6 percent annually to $3.3 billion in 2008.
Upward trends in severe obesity
conditions, coupled with many patients who are unresponsive to normal dieting
techniques, will promote rapid growth in the number of weight loss (or bariatric)
surgical procedures. In 2008, a projected 200,000 of these procedures will be
performed in the US, up 10.2 percent annually from 2003.
In 2003,
non-medically supervised weight loss programs will advance 5.2 percent annually
to $2.1 billion in 2008. Growth will be based on establishments adding new
products and services and attracting more overweight individuals unable to lose
desired pounds without professional help.
