Canada

Taken from acquisition worksheet: Obesity in Canada is a growing health concern. In 2004, a study called the Canadian Community Health Survey found 29% of Canadians aged 18 and older were obese and 41% were overweight. In children and adolescents, 8% were obese and 18% were overweight. Rates of obesity varied significantly between the provinces, from an obesity rate of 19% in British Columbia to a rate of 34% in Newfoundland and Labrador. (ref.1) The Business Development Bank of Canada released a report in 2013 that addressed contemporary consumer trends; health mania was among them. The report notes that, “health concerns are rising and health awareness is growing among Canadian consumers and will continue to accelerate as the population ages, with 25% of the population over the age of 65 by 2031. Consumers now look for products and services to help them maintain and improve their health, changing the type of products they purchase for their family, the sports they play, and how they spend their leisure time. The demand for health and wellness-related products is increasing rapidly, and 31% of Canadian consumers are willing to pay a premium for health-enhancing products.” (ref.2)
