Body composition analyzers are devices that help determine the body composition of different bodily components such as muscle mass, fat mass, fat-free mass (FFM), and total body water (TTW). The quantitative analysis of the above-mentioned components helps nutritionists and health consultants determine the nutritional requirements of patients. The diseases associated with an unhealthy percentage of body components include cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and others.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market was hampered due to the COVID restriction for public exposure, issued around the world. The market faced a huge impact since the number of people visiting fitness centers, gyms, and hospitals for weight and related concerns, was drastically reduced. Furthermore, the market recovered from its losses in the latter pandemic phase, as the respective governments lifted the travel restrictions and the number of people visiting the fitness centers grew rapidly.

Post-pandemic, increasing awareness regarding maintaining a healthy lifestyle led to the increasing usage of body composition analyzers in gyms and fitness centers as this helps to generate accurate results using advanced technology. This has created new opportunities for the companies present in the market for further market expansion.

The body composition analyzers generate accurate results within a few minutes using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, dual-Xray absorptiometry (DXA) technology, air displacement plethysmography (ADP), skinfold calipers, and hydrostatic equipment technologies. The analyzer machines operate using different principles and mechanisms. 

• According to the CDC report published on January 18, 2023, obesity has affected about 41.9% of adults, and 19.7% of children in the U.S., which makes it about 100.1 million adults and 14.7 million children affected by obesity. The average expenditure of annual healthcare costs about USD 147 billion.

Major Drivers

The rising prevalence of obesity among the world population drives the market. The increasing obesity, and related diseases among masses of all age groups, result in rising incidences of chronic diseases. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and life-threatening disease cause premature deaths and are more prevalent among the obese population.

• According to the CDC article published on May 17, 2022, the prevalence of obesity in adults aged between 20-39 years is 39.8%.  Population aged between 40-59 years show 44.3% of obese people.

Existing Restraints

The high cost of body composition analyzer devices impedes market growth. The body composition analyzer devices are not cost-effective. The devices are not affordable enough to be purchased by a majority of household users. Furthermore, the users lack knowledge about nutrition, after receiving the composition reports from the devices which hampers the market growth.

Emerging Opportunities

Developing body composition analyzer wearable devices is a major market opportunity. Currently, electronic gadgets such as tablets, and smartphones, are widely used around the one. Mobile software applications associated with fitness organizations and gyms are commonly used by the masses. The wearable body composition analyzer devices which connect to the mobile phone and generate everyday reports for the user on the go are thus a major market opportunity.

Body Composition Analyzers Market Segment Insights

Product Type Analysis

Based on product type, the body composition analyzers market is divided into dual energy x-ray absorptiometry equipment, bio-impedance analyzer, air displacement plethysmography equipment, skinfold calipers, and hydrostatic weighing equipment. The bio-impedance analyzer (BIA) market held a major market share during 2022 owing to the ease of operations of the devices for the user.

BIA devices appear similar to a weighing machine however, they function differently. The BIA devices measure bodily composition based on the rate at which the electrical signal travels through the body, which is generated by the multiple electrodes. The BIA devices are available as single-frequency and multi-frequency devices. The single-frequency BIA devices generate a current of about 50 kHz frequency and the multi-frequency BIA devices generate 1000 kHz of frequency.

The devices use four electrodes to identify vital bodily composition. The current that travels through the body, passes through various obstructions such as bodily fluids, cellular matter, and other vital components. Moreover, the non-invasive functioning, and effortless for users. the least requirement of subject compliance from the user side drives the segment.

The air displacement plethysmography (ADP) equipment segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period due to the versatility of the product and the increasing usage of the product by hospitals’ chronic care units ultimately resulting in maximum accessibility for the patients.

ADP is a technology that uses the pressure-volume mechanism to identify a person's bone density, FFM, and bodily volume. The patient lies down in the chamber and is calculated against the air density, volume, and displacement. The equipment is heavy and bulky and is majorly used in hospitals by sports fitness, and wellness institutes. Moreover, the readings provided by the equipment are more accurate and reliable, which improves the reliability of the equipment, which in turn is expected to boost the segment in the coming years.

End-use Segment Analysis

On the basis of end-use, the global market is segregated into fitness centers & gyms, wellness centers, hospitals, and household users. The hospital segment dominated the market in 2022, owing to a number of applications of body composition analyzer equipment. These devices play a crucial role in keeping track of the patient’s improvement and in keeping track of the patient’s bodily composition.

 The patients dealing with issues such as obesity, malnutrition, and rapid weight gain or loss are analyzed and provided with accurate diagnostics with the help of analyzer devices. The rapid results and medical gold standard results given by the equipment are the factors contributing to the market growth.

The fitness centers & gyms segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing awareness among the masses regarding the benefits of regular physical activity and the right nutrition intake. The fitness centers and gyms cater to fitness-conscious individuals who aim to lose, gain, or maintain their body weight.

There is an uneven distribution of fat mass, lean muscles, and water weight in obese people, depending upon the type of obesity they have. The body composition analyzer equipment helps fitness consultants draw the personalized wellness program for individuals. This includes a balanced diet,

Moreover, fitness centers and gyms are being introduced with technologically advanced fitness equipment that focuses on strengthening different focus areas of the body.

The fitness centers and gyms that train athletes, require body composition analyzers to regularly track the progress of the athlete’s body in accordance to the requirement of their sport.
