The U.S. Weight Loss Market: 2015 Status Report & Forecast

This new Marketdata report presents a wrap-up of 2014 performance for the U.S. weight loss market.

The market is forecast to grow by 1.4% this year, as the DIY dieting trend continues. There are bright spots, however, including medical weight loss programs by MDs, and the meal replacements market.
