The digital weight loss market is one of the biggest and most successful segments of digital health today. There are already 1.5 billion overweight people globally who could access mobile weight loss solutions. In some countries (US, UK) more than 13% of them already use digital weight loss solutions, with the US being the biggest market today. In the future Asian markets might become even bigger markets, but the adoption rate tends to be lower today. European countries also represent a significant market opportunity for digital weight loss solutions, with adoption rates in some countries already reaching more than 10%.

It is a competitive market with more than 5,000 active companies. Their service offerings range from simple food and calorie trackers, recipes, diet plans to asynchronous and synchronous coaching and advice services. Digital weight loss programs have also been added to other digital chronic condition management programs including digital diabetes or hypertension. In the last few years mental health tools and practices (e.g., CBT) made their way into digital weight loss solutions supporting the users with their mental conditions.

There is plenty of evidence that digital weight loss and management solutions work, which will help the industry to reduce the dependency on out-of-pocket payment by getting reimbursed.
