Global Body Composition Analyzers Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Body Composition Analyzers Market is estimated to reach at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

The body composition analyzer works based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). A method of measuring impedance by applying alternate electrical currents to a user, measuring their volume of water through impedance values, is known as bioelectrical impedance analysis. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in muscle mass, body fat percentage, and fat mass.

Market Dynamics

The increasing population of obese patients and increasing efforts by the government to promote a healthy lifestyle will drive the body composition analyzers market.

Increasing efforts by the government to promote a healthy lifestyle will drive the body composition analyzers market.

In an attempt to solve some of the key social and environmental determinants of overweight and its underlying unhealthy lifestyles, countries worldwide have significantly up-scaled their policy actions. The government plays an important role in addressing lifestyle behaviors and population health, reducing health disparities and chronic disease. Government involvement includes surveillance, programming, research, quality assurance, access to health care, and guidelines for diet and physical activity(PA). Some view government as paternalistic and favor individual choice. However, there is an opportunity to unite diverse approaches with the government working across sectors and engaging the private sector. Hence, the government's initiatives to promote a healthy lifestyle will increase the awareness of the use of body composition analyzers to assess the proportion of fat to fat-free mass in the body.

The increasing population of obese patients will drive the body composition analyzers market.

According to A-Mansia Biotech, Worldwide prevalence of obesity the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2020. In fact, in 2020, more than 2 billion adults (39% of the global adult population) were overweight (BMI > 25). Of these, over 600 million were obese (BMI > 30). In Europe, more than half the population is overweight (BMI > 25), and up to 30% are obese (BMI > 30). Moreover, the World Obesity Atlas 2022, published by the World Obesity Federation, expects that one billion people globally, including 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men, will be living with obesity by 2030. The most frequently used measure of obesity is body weight. In general, people with high body weights have higher amounts of body fat. Weight changes correspond to body water, fat, and lean tissue changes. Body composition is a method in which the body is divided into its core components: fat, minerals, protein, and body water. It describes weight more accurately and provides a better look into overall health than traditional methods. Body composition analysis can show real changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and body fat percentage. There are many benefits of doing a BCA now that it has surpassed the outdated Body Mass Index (BMI). There is more to being healthy than losing weight. There are important factors like increasing physical activity and improving the muscle-to-fat ratio. Thus, from the above statements, the market is expected to drive in the forecast period.

Disadvantages related to body composition analyzers will hamper its market.

Although modern technologies and assessment have helped evolve body fat analysis, there are still certain shortcomings, especially depending on the chosen method. The limitation of the method of body fat analysis is that it considers only a few areas that give room for substantial errors. This shortcoming can be avoided if the same area is used repeatedly to check the increase or decrease in body fat over time. Bioelectrical impedance is not very accurate as it works fast, which compels a compromise on accuracy, which makes the concept not so perfect. Other than fat, hydration levels in the body would also influence the response time, food, and other factors.

Depending on where one lives, DEXA scans can be quite expensive and how many centers or Fitness Clubs & Wellness Centers are around to carry the equipment needed. This is an advanced technology, and one may not have many options in a neighborhood or town.

Industry Analysis

The body composition analyzers market provides in-depth analysis of the market based on various industry factors such as unmet needs, pricing analysis, supply chain analysis, regulatory analysis etc.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a fairly positive impact on the market. As suggested by some studies, the risk of contraction of COVID-19 is more in obese patients. Additionally, with lockdown and staying at home, people have become more sedentary than before. Hence, this will drive the body composition analyzers market.

Segment Analysis/B>

The Bio-impedance analyzer segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the body composition analyzers market.

The bio-impedance analyzer segment accounted for the largest share in 2021. It is a method of assessing body composition known as Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA). It is the measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass. One integral part of a health and nutrition assessment is BIA. It also provides a measurement of fluid and body mass that can be a critical assessment tool for the current state of health. This non-invasive test involves the placement of two electrodes on the right hand and foot of a person. An imperceptible low-level electrical current is sent through the body, and the amount of water in the body will affect the current flow. The device measures how this signal is delayed through different types of tissue. Tissues that contain large amounts of fluid and electrolytes, such as blood, have high conductivity, but fat and bone slow the signal down. The resistance to the flow of the current passing through the body is determined by BIA, which estimates body water from which body fat is calculated using selected equations. For instance, bodivis BCA-2A records key body composition indexes accurately and shows changes like muscle mass, protein, body water and body fat percentage. This can help by validating patient care, corporate wellness and personal training. Thus, from the above statements, the market segment accounted for the largest market share in the forecast period.

The hospital's segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the body composition analyzers market.

Hospitals with their large scale, strong financial capabilities, and broad range of services will see an increase in this segment. To provide a long-term solution for the treatment of obese individuals, the procedures must be simple and safe to perform, with the device's efficacy maintained throughout long treatment durations. This non-invasive technique involves the placement of electrodes on the feet, hands, or both of a person. An electrical current of low-level is sent through the body, and the current flow is affected by the amount of body water. BIA device measures this signal impeded through different tissue types (muscle has high conductivity, but fat slows the signal down). To reduce the risk of these devices, it's better to use them in a hospital setting. Hospitals provide the best medical practitioner and advanced medical devices. Hence, this segment will dominate the market.

Geographical Analysis

North American region is expected to hold the largest market share in the global body composition analyzers market.

The North American region accounted for the largest market share in 2021. The region’s growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of obesity, and rising product launches by the market players are some factors expected to boost the region in the forecast period. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the proportion of US children, who are overweight or obese, which has climbed steadily for years, surged to unprecedented levels during the pandemic. Among a cohort of 432 302 people aged 2-19 years, the body mass index (BMI) increase roughly doubled during the pandemic compared with the preceding period. The greatest increases were seen in children aged 6-11 and those already overweight before the pandemic.

Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the number of states in which at least 35% of residents self-report obesity increased in 2020 from 12 to 16 and therefore, the US is the world’s most overweight large country, with an average BMI of 26.6 in men and 26.5 in women. Therefore, it has increased the demand for body composition analyzers. Additionally, at CES Las Vegas in January 2020, Inbody USA will formally debut the InBody 970. The InBody 970, when used in conjunction with the Yscope, analyses and categorizes abdominal fat and total body water using new patented technology. Thus, from the above statements, the North American region accounted for the largest market share in the forecast period.
