Bioimpedance measuring devices are used to measure the level of fluids in living tissue. These devices use electrical conductivity and reactance, which is a property of an object that opposes any change in the electric current flowing through it. This type of device can provide vital information regarding fluid buildup or dehydration for athletes and those with chronic health conditions like heart diseases.
Bioimpedance Analyzers Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Market Trends and Drivers
Unhealthy lifestyles, such as sedentary work environments, consumption of junk food, and increased mobility automation have increased the prevalence of certain lifestyle diseases, like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. According to WHO, in 2019, an estimated 38.2 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. In Africa, the number of overweight children under 5 who were overweight or obese in 2019 lived in Asia. Owing to that, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases is boosting the growth of the global bioimpedance analyzers market.
Likewise, emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil are likely to see high growth in the bioimpedance analyzers market. This can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, growing awareness about health and obesity, and infrastructural improvements in these countries. China is a prominent market in this regard, given its recent infrastructural improvements, rapid economic growth, rising domestic demand, and public-private initiatives to support healthcare research. China’s State Council approved the 2016-2020 National Fitness Plan, which has motivated all national fitness levels and increased sports participation. Due to these factors, the global bioimpedance market is witnessing significant growth opportunities.
Market Restraints & Challenges
One of the primary challenges in the growth of the global bioimpedance analyzers market is inconsistency in the accuracy of different bioimpedance analyzers. Although the technology is improving, it is difficult to obtain accurate body fat measurements from most commercially available body fat analyzers. The working of analyzers comprises passing an electric current. However, a large amount of fat underneath the skin is not detected by these analyzers. Adding to that, body impedance varies among different ethnic groups and influences the accuracy of body composition analyzers.
Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market Segmentation
The report analyses the bioimpedance analyzers market based on product, modality, application, end-user, and regions.
Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market by Product
On the basis of type, it is segmented into multi-frequency analyzers, single-frequency analyzers, and dual-frequency analyzers. The multi-frequency analyzers segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. Multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) may be a relatively simple, quick method to measure body composition, for instance, fat mass and fat-free mass, having the advantage of being portable, relatively cheap, and not requiring specialist training for use. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing preference for multi-frequency bioimpedance analyzers is high among end-users as they are both segmental and whole-body measurements, unlike single-frequency bioimpedance analyzers.
Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market by Modality
Based on modality, it is segmented into wired bioimpedance analyzers, and wireless bioimpedance analyzers. The wired bioimpedance analyzers are likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. The key factors boosting the market growth are the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases coupled with initiatives by governments and private organizations to promote healthy lifestyles is boosting the growth of the segment in the market. The impedance analyzer measures the difference between the maximum current and the minimum current, but also the time difference between the potential and the current wave-forms.
Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market by Application
By application, it is segmented into whole-body measurement and segmental body measurement. The demand in the bioimpedance market for segmental body measurement is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period. The whole-body measurement is expected to hold a significant share of the market due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders. Thus, the demand in the bioimpedance market would rise during the forecast period.
Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market by End User
By end user, it is divided into fitness clubs and wellness centers, home users, hospitals, and others. The demand for bioimpedance analyzers in fitness clubs and wellness centers is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The increasing number of fitness clubs and wellness centers and the growing awareness about health and fitness across the globe are boosting the growth of the market.
Geographical Analysis of Global Bioimpedance Analyzers Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America accounted for the largest share of the bioimpedance analyzers market. The large share of North America can be attributed to factors such as the growing obesity rate, government initiatives to encourage healthy lifestyles, increasing use of body composition analyzers for assessing athlete fitness, and increasing number of health clubs and fitness centers.

COVID-19 Analysis
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), due to the epidemic of a novel coronavirus, the worldwide economy decreased by over 3.0% in 2020. Several nations were under strict lockdowns in 2020 & 2021, which have impacted the supply of raw materials. Therefore, due to this, the manufacturing activities of bioimpedance analyzer producers have ceased. While some bioimpedance analyzers are considered urgent, others have been postponed and delayed since the beginning of the global pandemic. The other aspect negatively affecting the market is the drop in the diagnosis of obesity owing to healthcare resources being reserved for COVID-19 patients. Besides, several medical device companies have suffered losses in their medical device businesses owing to the pandemic. To cite an instance, Medtronic plc announced a reduction of nearly one-third in its cardiac and vascular business sector in its 2020 quarterly financial results. Moreover, demand for bioimpedance analyzers from wellness centers has been dropped amid their stopped operations, due to government-imposed lockdown measures. This is anticipated to hamper the bioimpedance market growth during the forecast period.
