Follow on Google News | ![]() New Technologies and Approaches in Obesity ManagementThe high and growing rate of obesity incidence worldwide and its commensurate costs are driving development and use of multiple treatment options spanning surgery, medical devices and drugs, according to a new MedMarket Diligence report.
“In 2011, 2012 and beyond, we see very specific events taking place that will bring new technologies and approaches reaching the market for obesity treatment, effectively expand the opportunities to address this serious condition,” says Patrick Driscoll, President of MedMarket Diligence, publisher of the 2011 worldwide report, “Products, Technologies and Markets Worldwide for the Clinical Management of Obesity, 2011-2019.” According to Driscoll, this will result in sales of specific obesity product treatment types grow annually, in most cases, well above double-digit rates. The Americas currently represent the lion’s share of the global obesity products market, but as economies rapidly grow outside of the Americas, particularly in China, the relative share of the Americas market will noticeably shift toward Asia/Pacific. At least fifty companies are active in the field of obesity management, marketing current products and/or with products in active development. Given the market’s expansion, driven by incidence/prevalence trends, growing evidence of the co-morbidities of obesity, the support under most reimbursement schemes globally, and other forces, it is expected that the number of competitors will steadily ramp up for several years before market consolidation becomes evident.
