Market Report, "Weight Management in the Netherlands", published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Oct 14 2014


Weight management achieved 2% current value growth in 2013, compared to a 9% CAGR over the review period. The category entered a new stage of stagnation after several years of new product launches and innovations that failed to create a long-term momentum for the category. Many Dutch consumers moved away from the products in this category and sought instead to adopt healthier diets and lifestyles. For example, it has become more popular to gain fitness club membership and adopt a more proactive attitude towards weight loss.

Competitive Landscape

Herbalife International Netherlands BV was the largest player in weight management in 2013 with a value share of 34%. The company has recorded a rise in share each year since 2010. Its business model is based on direct selling and its historical knowledge in dietary supplements has been the foundation for its weight management business. Herbalife maintains that the direct selling distribution allows for a more personal interaction with customers and a better assessment of their specific needs. The company has seen an increase in the number of its distributors as a result of the economic slowdown, which pushed some former employees into self-employed opportunities.

Industry Prospects

The weight management category is expected to record a moderate value sales rise at a 1% CAGR at constant 2013 prices. This will represent a relatively weak performance compared to the review period CAGR of 6%. The obese population is set to rise moderately, in line with total population growth. Therefore, the overall demand for weight management will be slow and consumers will increasingly turn to meal replacement slimming or slimming teas at the expense of other product categories.
