The Market for Weight Loss Pills

By Adam Smith


With the widespread popularity weight-loss pills enjoy, one wonders what kind of customers would be allured by the promises of losing extra pounds without much efforts. The newer generation is all the more conscious about its health and though the numbers of obese people across the world is touching a dangerously high point, the market of weight-loss pills is also getting larger by days.

One wonders at times if having problems falling in only cosmetic category will make one go for such anti-obesity or weight-loss pills or would there be more factors contributing to a sizeable chunk of this ever expanding market.

Many research studies shows the trend that growing consciousness about health and people's awareness and desire to keep many other diseases including, but not limited to heart disease, stroke, diabetics, high blood pressure and sleep apnoea etc at bay too makes them look out for solutions for weight loss. That explains that it is not only a slim, svelte figure, but an overall awareness for health that constitutes a significant percentage of weight-pill customers.

Whether it is only about a more presentable, confident shape or the promise of an overall healthy body, one can easily marvel at the numbers describing this exponentially growing market. As estimated by a study, the number of obese people in 2010 was 400 million, and was expected to rise to 700 million by 2015 which is great threat to people.

The statistics shown by a leading pharmaceutical advisory firm predicted the market for the anti-obesity drugs to grow more than five-fold from around $500 million in 2006 to almost $2.7 billion by 2016. And with such data released, suddenly the number of players jumping in the field of production and marketing of weight-loss pills offering a safe, effective and affordable treatment has grown manifold in numbers.
