New Market Research Report: Weight Management in Mexico

Meal replacement slimming in Mexico has become more relevant, mainly due to the efforts of two international companies which have been successful with the direct selling model, Herbalife and Usana México. Direct selling targets the low-income segment, which represents 60% of the Mexican population; this, along with the high rates of overweight and obesity, are the drivers of the positive performance of meal replacement slimming. Direct selling allows people to make deferred payments of low amounts based on their economic capacity, which seems to be a practical model which also makes them captive consumers. Herbalife’s Nutritional Clubs is a current model which attracts more consumers every day. Consumers are able to try the products and then buy them in individual or small portions, making the products affordable.

Competitive Landscape

Herbalife Internacional de México had a strong lead in weight management in 2014, with a 41% value share, followed by Genomma Lab Internacional with only a 3% value share. As previously mentioned, Herbalife’s strategy of its Nutrition Clubs is the key driver to attract more consumers, and improvements to its distribution strategies increased the brand’s penetration. Herbalife has products in the three main categories of weight management products; meal replacement slimming is the most important, with an 87% value share. Genomma Lab participates in weight loss supplements with its brand Metaboltonics; this category is highly fragmented, mainly amongst small domestic and international competitors.
