What Key Drivers Are Expected to Influence Future Meal Replacement Market Growth?
The meal replacement market is set to expand owing to the escalating rates of obesity and diabetes. Factors contributing to the rise in diabetes include ethnicity, aging and lifestyle. Meal replacements primarily serve to manage diabetes by promoting weight loss. Nonetheless, their high nutrient but low-calorie contents make them effective in obesity treatment as well. For instance, data from the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK government department, in March 2024 reveals that between March 2022 and March 2023, there was a 22% increase in the number of type 1 diabetes patients receiving all eight recommended care processes, and a 21% increase for type 2 diabetes patients. Additionally, the percentage of individuals achieving target HbA1c levels swelled to a record 37.9%, according to the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). These mounting rates of obesity and diabetes are fueling the growth of the meal replacement market.
