The move towards a more sedate lifestyle, accompanied with dramatic changes in diet, particularly in Western countries, has directly contributed to the rise in obesity. The growing concern around what has been termed the ‘obesity epidemic’ by the media has fuelled the need for action from governments and the food and drink industry in particular.

The result has been a shift away from short-term diet and weight-loss products towards a more long-term, sustainable weight management solution. Increasing innovation in the area of weight management ingredients is helping to drive the industry forward, enabling manufacturers to offer consumers a wide range of convenient solutions with easily recognisable benefits (such as products which will ‘help you feel fuller for longer’).

Leatherhead Food Research’s new report The Future of the Weight Management Market presents information on the trends which help to shape this industry with a focus on major market product sectors such as beverages, dairy and snacks. The report also details the latest ingredients being utilised in the weight management sector and assesses the potential of these ingredients.
