The consequence of such efforts has been a paradigm shift from short-term and novice weight-loss regimes to more long-term and sustainable weight management solutions. Burgeoning investments to boost innovation and product development in the sector of weight management ingredients is driving the industry and enabling manufacturers to offer customers a plethora of convenient solutions with achievable results.

While the U.S. and Europe hold the largest and second-largest shares of the market respectively, it is the Asia market that exhibits the maximum potential for growth, due to the increasing adoption of Western lifestyle.
