1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY If one were to liken the U.S. sports nutrition & weight-loss (SNWL) sector to a professional athlete,

tennis sisters Venus or Serena Williams might be a good match. Both are impressive and sometimes star performers, but injuries and other issues have kept both players from being able to consistently capture the win. The same has been true for the SNWL category — which typically has been a strong driver of growth for the U.S. nutrition industry since 1996, but which also has shouldered its share of hard knocks over the last 12 years.

2007 was one of those years when the SNWL category performed pretty well, but not well enough to break any records or bring home the gold. The category — which Nutrition Business Journal defines as weight-loss pill-form supplements, weight-loss meal-replacement supplements, sports supplements, low-carb foods, nutrition bars and sports & energy drinks — rung up a total of $19.6 billion in SNWL sales in 2007. Although sales expanded by a respectable 7% last year, this was down from the 9.6% growth the category achieved in 2006. A number of factors helped to drag down SNWL sales growth in 2007. One was the continued weakening of the low-carb category, which has experienced a precipitous decay since its peak in 2004.

Sales declines of weight-loss pill-form supplements also helped to stifle SNWL growth in 2007. According to NBJ research, consumers bought $1.67 billion worth of weight-loss pill-form supplements in 2007, down nearly 1% from the $1.69 billion the segment earned in 2006. Still, the downturn was not as dramatic as it was following the ephedra ban four years ago, and considering what weight-loss supplement makers were up against in 2007 — namely, the introduction of the new over-the-counter (OTC) diet drug, alli — some company leaders say they are actually feeling pretty optimistic about how sales fared in 2007 and 2008 and how the category is expected to perform in 2009 and beyond.

What appears to have been most detrimental to total 2007 SNWL sales growth, however, was the significant slowdown of sports & energy drink sales, which generated 51% of the SNWL category’s total revenue last year. In 2006, sports & energy drink sales jumped 24% from the previous year and brought

in $1.7 billion in new sales to the SNWL category. But in 2007, sales growth for this segment slowed to 13.3%, bringing down the total value of new dollars added by sports & energy drinks to $1.2 billion — $500 million less than the previous year.

On a positive note, 2007 sales of sports nutrition supplements increased 8.4% — the most this SNWL segment has grown since 2001. In addition, weight-loss meal supplements and nutrition bars were both up slightly last year, though not as much as they were in 2006.

Mass market retailers generated the vast majority — 68% — of total SNWL category sales (mainly because sports & energy drinks, low-carb foods and nutrition bars are big mass market sellers), while natural & specialty retailers accounted for 16%, network marketers 9%, mail order 2.5%, Internet 2.4% and practitioners 2.4%. Of all these channels, the Internet posted the greatest growth rate in 2007 at 18.8% — driven in large part by the proliferation of fast-growing Web-based sports nutrition companies, such as Bodybuilding.com.

NBJ is forecasting total SNWL category sales growth slowed to 3.6% in 2008. As noted above, slower growth in the sports & energy drink category as well as declining weight-loss supplement sales due to alli continue to drag down total category sales. The forecasted compound annual growth rate for the sports nutrition and weight loss category from 2008-2017 is 5.3%. NBJ expects the sports nutrition supplements category to lead growth of SNWL product sales. NBJ has forecasted more than $1 billion in sales to be annually added to the SNWL category, as the market is expected to grow to more than $32 billion in 2017. The only negative growth that is currently forecasted for the SNWL category is in the weight-loss pill supplement category, but this growth is expected to turn positive by 2011.

NBJ’s 2009 Sports Nutrition & Weight-Loss Report provides a detailed overview of the U.S. SNWL category, covering weight-loss pill-form supplements, weight-loss meal-replacement supplements, sports supplements, low-carb foods, nutrition bars and sports & energy drinks. This 290-page report includes unrivalled market sales estimates and forecasts; news, trends and product analysis; 94 company profiles; and 145 data charts. All of this information is put in the context of the overall U.S. nutrition industry and healthcare market.
