Body fat analyzers are also known as impedance meters is a tool for
accurate assessment of body fat and this identify risk associated
with health due to high or low amounts of body fat. Moreover these
devices also help assess effectiveness of exercise and nutrition
intake and age related ages.Body fat measurement is considered as a
common fitness test at gymnasium, health clubs. The body fat
measuring device when applied to the skin leads to a passage of weak
current between the outer two electrodes.
As this high frequency current passes through the skin, the muscles
and the subcutaneous fat, some amount of energy is lost due to the
tissue resistance. This change in the energy is then measured with
the help of two inner electrodes. The body fat measurement devices
can be designed to measure the flow at different depths. The body fat
percentage varies according to age and gender in an individual.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1.9 billion
adults, were reported as overweight worldwide in 2014 and is linked
to more deaths as compared to underweight population.
The global body fat measurementmarket can be segmented based
onanalysis method and geography.
The different body fat analysis
methods include hydrostatic weighing or underwater weighing,
bioelectric impedance analysis, skin fold analysis, near-infrared
interactance, anthropometric method and BOD POD. Different techniques
used to analyze the body fat include dual energy X-ray
absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography
and air displacement plethysmography. Ultrasound technique can also
be used for accurate assessment of body fat and is less expensive
than other laboratory methods. The major driver for the market growth
is due to the ballooning burden of obese population responsible for
rise in rate of disease and disability across the globe.

Hydrostatic weighing is considered as a gold standard by the American
College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) due to its high accuracy. BOD POD
too works similar to that of hydrostatic weighing, however its high
cost restricts its use by many health clubs. Currently, bioelectric
impedance analysis is the most popular method for body fat
measurement and works on the principle of flow of low-intensity
electric current through the body and resistance measurement. The
speed of the passage of current determines the percentage of fat and
muscle quality in the person. In skin fold analysis, total body fat
can be estimated by measuring the fat under the skin. However, this
method is not used for measurement of visceral fat. Near-infrared
interactance involves placing of a special probe against a body area
which emits infrared light that passes through muscle and fat.
In terms of geography, the global body fat measurement market can be
segmented into four major regions: North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Rest of the World. North
America accounts for the largest regional share due to a large pool
of obese population, as well as technologically advances healthcare
infrastructure. The region is followed by Europe due to an obesity
crisis as per the WHOEmerging economies in Asia Pacific, and Rest of
the World hold immense potential for the body fast measurement
devices owing to their increasing population, and patient
affordability and are expected to boost the growth of the market in
these regions.
Some of the key players in the global body fat measurement market
include AccuFitness LLC, COSMED Srl, Diagnostic Medical Systems
Group, GE Healthcare, Hologic, Inc., Omron Healthcare, and Tanita
Corporation.
