The diet food home delivery or “home meal replacement” market in the U.S. is a niche segment of the overall weight loss market, appealing to the most affluent dieters. NutriSystem and its heavy advertising, coupled with demand from convenience-seeking, time-pressed moms, executives, working couples, senior and others, fueled this growth through 2007. Then the recession hit and NutriSystem sales declined five years in a row. "However, new companies have entered the market and firms serving up fresh, high-quality food to local markets appear to be holding their own,” according to MarketData research director, John LaRosa.
