Approximately 41 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2016, and this number is expected to continue to rise in the coming years, according to the World Health Organization.
Future Market Insights projects the global Pediatric Obesity Management market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% from 2023 to 2033.
