Weight management drinks are functional beverages that are formulated to actively encourage weight loss. Weight management drinks attribute their weight loss effect to a variety of mechanisms. These include increasing energy expenditure, inhibiting absorption/fat conversion, promoting satiety, regulating appetite and regulating body fluid balance.

Zenith’s 2007 Weight Management Drinks report is based on detailed research into the opportunities and threats facing the burgeoning weight management drinks market. Zenith’s outline findings are that:
  • Weight management drinks are still niche even in the markets where the category is most advanced.
  • Different regional markets are at different stages of development. A relatively small number of weight management drinks have been available for ten years or more; most have been introduced over the past five years and new product activity is high.
  • The market for weight management drinks has in the last few years been characterised by double-digit growth rates, albeit from a low base.
  • Out of the three regions, the established, yet innovative Japanese market claims the majority of volume sales with a 60% share.
  • Combined volume sales across Japan, the United States and West Europe are projected to reach 1,135 million litres by 2011.
Zenith International reports offer you the most reliable market figures and in-depth analysis of trends. This comes from a bottom up approach to the research process, and detailed discussions undertaken with industry players.
