The global weight management market continues to grow despite the current
downturn in the global economy and is estimated to reach US$586 billion in
2014 from about US$363 billion in 2009. The driving force for the global
weight management market is the dramatic increase in the obese population.
Sedentary but fast paced lifestyle and consumption of high calorie and
under-nutritious food has contributed to the rising number of obese and
overweight people. These are the main target segment of the weight management

beverage (F&B) market, as well as in the drugs and supplement market, have
accordingly expanded their market scope to increase revenues by targeting this
