The weight loss industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the emergence of new obesity medications and a shift in how obesity and related illnesses are perceived and treated. These advancements position the weight loss market on a rocket trajectory with no signs of slowing down. Let's delve into the latest industry developments and how Medi-Weightloss® franchises are equipped to meet this surging demand, offering potential franchisees the opportunity to capture revenue while helping those struggling with weight.
The Explosive Growth of the Weight Loss Business
Obesity drugs have become major disruptors in the pharmaceutical industry, comparable to few other innovations. Morgan Stanley Research now projects the global market for obesity drugs to reach $105 billion by 2030, up from an earlier forecast of $77 billion, with the potential to soar as high as $144 billion. In 2023 alone, sales of branded obesity drugs were $6 billion.
According to Mark Purcell, head of Morgan Stanley's European Pharmaceuticals team, the obesity drug market is driven by two key factors: supply and demand. Leading drugmakers are expected to spend more than $50 billion through 2028 to expand supply chains and meet the increasing demand. This demand could further accelerate if evidence continues to show that these drugs improve outcomes in hundreds of obesity-related ailments.
Analysts anticipate a significant rise in the number of individuals using these drugs. Projections indicate that 9% of the U.S. population could be taking them by 2035, a fivefold increase from today. This shift suggests an impact on sectors beyond pharmaceuticals, including services that educate and support weight loss. With the growing need for supportive services to guide the long-term success of these treatments, there has never been a better time to start a Medi-Weightloss franchise.
Medi-Weightloss’s Role in Ongoing Support & Education
Medi-Weightloss's ongoing support and maintenance education are crucial to providing the best opportunity for the long-term success of these weight loss medications. The FDA-approved drugs, such as Wegovy and Zepbound, are designed for chronic weight maintenance. Research shows that patients who discontinue these medications tend to regain two-thirds of the weight they initially lost within a year. This underscores the need for continuous treatment to manage obesity, a chronic, progressive, and relapsing condition.
When patients reach their weight loss plateau, they enter the maintenance phase, and current best practices could indicate that their medication should be continued indefinitely. Therefore, Medi-Weightloss's supervision and support for long-term use could be essential for sustained weight management.
