Nutritionists & Dietitians in the US industry analysis

Nutritionists' and dietitians' services growth and resilience amid the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions result from the industry's diversity of services and addressable markets. Even before the pandemic, there was a strong demand for these services driven by factors like rising obesity and the aging population. Adding to this increase in demand, consumers are increasingly interested in adopting healthy and sustainable eating habits. The rise in telemedicine has been an effective tool for meeting new demands and delivering services conveniently. Despite the pandemic's effect, structural features and demographic factors enabled services to grow and industry-wide revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 4.9% through 2024 to total $782.7 million in 2024. In the same year, revenue is expected to climb by an estimated 1.8%.
