Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Body Fat Measurement Market," the body fat measurement market was valued at $395.13 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $765.00 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.The global body fat measurement market was valued at $395.13 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $765 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031. Body fat varies according to age, gender, and body type. Body fat measurement is required to measure and to assess health and fitness level of obese patients or other fitness-conscious people. It provides detailed information for personalized health or fitness consultations. Furthermore, it is used to strategize an exercise plan in terms of one’s need to lose fat or build muscle. Multiple ways are available to measure body fat, and each method has advantages and disadvantages.
In body fat measurement, bio-impedance analyzers estimates body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured to calculate impedance of the body. Body fat skin caliper is used for the quantification of the thickness of a skinfold, which are composed mainly of subcutaneous fat. Dual energy x-ray works by penetrating a low x-ray beam that accounts for two compositions within the body, one calculates soft tissue and the other calculates bone. By calculation of soft tissues, body fat is determined.
Increase in obesity among population and increase in awareness of healthy lifestyle are the major body fat measurement market trends. Body fat is measured to reduce obesity as obesity has various adverse effects on the body, such as increasing the risk of several debilitating diseases that seriously affects an individual’s strength or ability to carry on with regular activities. Furthermore, innovations, development of advanced technologies, key strategies adopted by the key players, and increasing awareness for adverse effects of obesity on health flourish the body fat measurement industry. However, expensive devices and radiation exposure in some devices, is expected to hinder the body fat measurement market growth.
Conversely surge in promotion of healthy lifestyle and rise in healthcare expenditure, and increase in disposable income are opportunistic for key players to invest during the forecast period, especially in the developing economies. By product, the market is segmented into calipers, body scales, and others. The others segment generated maximum revenue in 2021, and is also expected to witness highest CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period, owing to availability of various analyzers, monitoring devices, various product launch, and technological advancements.
Depending on technique, the market is divided into bio-impedance analysis, air displacement plethysmography, dual emission X-ray absorptiometry, hydrostatic weighing, and others. The bio-impedance analysis segment dominated the body fat measurement market size in 2021, and is also expected to witness highest CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period owing to its accuracy, rapid results, comfortable usage for elderly & children, and ease of handling of devices. Depending on end user, the market is divided into hospitals & clinics, fitness club & wellness centres, and home users. The fitness club & wellness centres segment dominated the market in 2021, and is also expected to witness highest CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period owing to surge in gyms & wellness centers offering such facilities and increase in healthy life style awareness among the population.
North America accounted for a majority of the global body fat measurement market share in 2021, and is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period. This is attributed to technological advancements in body fat measurement techniques, integration of advanced devices and software processes in body fat measurement devices, presence of key players, and robust infrastructure in the region.
