Consumers engaging with Anti-Obesity Medications like GLP-1 RAs are a fast-growing group of people with a unique set of needs. In a recent proprietary ADM study, 83% of GLP-1 RA users said that they would be highly interested in products designed specifically for people engaging with these medications. This creates meaningful opportunities for food, beverage, and dietary supplement brands that understand these needs and design products to delight these consumers.
This presentation will dive into:
- The opportunity presented by GLP-1 medication users.
- The five unique science-based needs of this consumer group
- How brands can capitalize on the opportunity and be grounded in science and proprietary consumer understanding.

However additional research suggests players in these and other categories could drive sales by innovating to meet the unique dietary needs of consumers on anti-obesity drugs as well as those looking to manage their weight.
