PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Direct sellers expected to embrace multi-channel strategies to regain lost ground
Retail sales of weight management and wellbeing products in Uruguay are expected to rise in constant value terms (at 2025 prices) over the forecast period. However, direct sellers - whose share declined during the review period - will need to adapt to remain competitive.
GLP-1 slimming drugs may pose challenge to traditional weight loss supplements
Due to the global expansion of GLP-1 slimming products and their recent approval in Uruguay, weight loss supplements are expected to face challenges in maintaining sales momentum. Consumers seeking faster and more clinically proven results are increasingly shifting away from herbal or over-the-counter slimming products towards prescription treatments.
New formulations with natural ingredients may see increasing demand
Heading into the forecast period, meal replacement is expected to see continued innovation. Beyond the introduction of new flavours, formats, and presentations, formulations that incorporate functional ingredients to support overall health and wellbeing are likely to emerge.
