The global body fat measurement market size was US$ 395.13 million in 2021. The global body fat measurement market size is estimated to reach US$ 714.3 million by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Body fat is measured to access the health status of a person. Obesity increases due to an increase in fat in the body, which can be the cause of many diseases. It varies according to the age and gender of the person. Various factors like adopting an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of physical mobility, change in eating habits, and stress leads to obesity. Instruments such as body scales, calipers, and others are used to measure body fat percentage. Moreover, several techniques were developed for the detection of body fat. Techniques such as hydrostatic weighing, bio-impedance analysis, dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry, air displacement plethysmography, and others are used to measure body fat.

Factors Affecting Marketing Growth

The rise in obesity among the global population and a growth in awareness about healthy lifestyles among the population drive the growth of the global market.
An increase in obesity due to the modernization of lifestyle in developing economies and the rise in the number of gyms and fitness clubs are the key trends that are anticipated to drive the growth of the global market.

Impact on COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak is expected to have a negative impact on the global body fat measurement market. A huge number of clinics and hospitals across the globe were restructured to increase hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with the pandemic. Non-essential procedures took a potential backlog, due to rapidly increasing pandemic cases. The lockdown led to the disruption of manufacturing and transportation of healthcare essentials. Also, the limited availability of medical care, a shortage of healthcare staff, and an increase in the burden of COVID-19-related hospitalization hinder the growth of the global market.

Regional Analysis

North America is expected to account for the highest global body fat measurement market share, due to, advanced technology and the availability of key players across the region.

Asia-Pacific is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rise in rapid development in healthcare technology, and the increase in the number of facilities offering such services.
