Weight Management Supplements Global Market Report 2025

The weight management supplements market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $35.41 billion in 2024 to $39.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. Growth during the historic period was fueled by heightened awareness of obesity-related health concerns, an increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare, rising disposable incomes across emerging economies, the growing impact of fitness trends and social media, and a surge in older adults requiring weight management solutions.

The weight management supplements market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $62.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. Key factors driving this forecasted growth include a shift toward plant-based and natural supplement ingredients, a rise in sedentary behavior contributing to weight issues, expanded investment in R&D for innovative supplement formulas, an upsurge in online and direct-to-consumer supplement sales, and heightened public health efforts driven by government and institutional initiatives. Prominent trends anticipated include advancements in nutrigenomics and customized nutrition solutions, the use of AI and big data in developing formulations, integration of wearable tech for supplement pairing, innovations in supplement delivery systems that improve absorption, and progress in extracting functional and plant-based ingredients.

The growing prevalence of obesity is anticipated to drive the expansion of the weight management supplements market. Obesity is a chronic and complex condition marked by excessive fat accumulation that poses health risks. Its increasing rate is attributed to the rising intake of high-calorie fast foods and reduced physical activity. Weight management supplements are used to support weight loss in individuals with obesity; however, their effectiveness varies and they are most beneficial when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise under medical supervision. For example, in May 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government department, reported that between 2022 and 2023, around 64% of adults aged 18 and above were classified as overweight or obese, slightly up from 63.8% in the previous year. This growing obesity trend is contributing to the demand for weight management supplements.

Companies in the weight management supplements market are focusing on innovative developments, such as high-protein nutrition shakes, to improve weight loss outcomes and meet consumer demand for effective and safe options. These shakes are dietary supplements that support muscle growth, recovery, and overall nutrition by offering a convenient and rich protein source. For instance, in January 2024, Abbott Laboratories, a U.S.-based healthcare and medical device company, introduced PROTALITY, a high-protein shake designed to aid adults in losing weight while maintaining muscle mass and nutritional health. With nearly half of U.S. adults attempting to lose weight each year, many face the risk of losing 11-50% of their muscle mass, which is essential for daily function and metabolism. Research supports that consuming at least 50% more protein than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) helps retain muscle mass during weight loss and promotes long-term weight control.
