PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Moderate growth supported by increased consumer interest in health, physical appearance, and preventive care
Weight management and wellbeing in Ecuador is projected to grow moderately over the forecast period, driven by increased consumer interest in health, physical appearance, and preventive care. Rising awareness of lifestyle-related health risks, alongside the cultural normalisation of wellness routines, such as detox diets, intermittent fasting, and herbal supplementation, supports a continued appetite for products that promote weight control, energy, and digestive health.
GLP-1 treatments and bariatric surgery reshape the weight loss landscape
A key emerging challenge, and opportunity, for the weight management and wellbeing category in Ecuador is the growing public awareness and popularity of GLP-1 medications, which are rapidly gaining traction in global conversations for their proven effectiveness in weight reduction. In Ecuador, although access remains limited to high-income individuals, their visibility in social media and popular culture is reshaping how consumers think about weight loss.
Ageing population and active longevity create opportunities
Weight management and wellbeing in Ecuador is set to benefit from powerful demographic and lifestyle shifts, most notably the ageing of the population combined with a cultural shift toward active longevity. More consumers, especially those over 40, are becoming aware of the importance of maintaining physical function, muscle mass, and energy levels to enjoy a higher quality of life in later years.
