The smart scale market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the smart scale market has seen significant growth. It is projected to increase from $3.35 billion in 2024 to $3.57 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
The historic trend of growth can be linked to a rise in diseases, an escalating rate of obesity, burgeoning health consciousness, an uptick in smartphone usage, and a heightened demand for telehealth.
The smart scale market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The industry for smart scales is forecasted to witness substantial expansion in the coming years, with an estimated worth of $4.58 billion in 2029 and a CAGR of 6.4%.
Potential factors driving this growth throughout the projected period can vary from the escalating reliance on smart technologies by consumers, increased engagement in diverse fitness activities, growing situations of weight gain issues, expanding uses within the sports sector, and heightened demand for integrated fitness. Critical trends anticipated during this period involve sophisticated measurement scales, technological progress, design and material innovations, artificial intelligence integration, voice assistant compatibility, and Fitbit integration.
The escalation in obesity rates is projected to fuel the expansion of the smart scale market in the future. Obesity is defined as a state characterized by excessive body weight in comparison to height, commonly assessed by the body mass index (BMI). The escalating prevalence of obesity stems from increased intake of calorie-rich processed foods and a sedentary way of life, influenced by socio-economic circumstances and genetic factors. Smart scales play a crucial role in managing excess weight and obesity by offering comprehensive metrics such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, and weight patterns. They enable people to track their improvement, make educated choices about diet and fitness regimes, and establish personalized health objectives. For example, per the UK government's statistics, it was estimated that in May 2023, about 63.8% of adults aged 18 and above in 2021-2022 were identified as overweight or obese, marking a rise from 63.3% in 2020-2021. Consequently, the swelling number of obese individuals is stimulating the growth of the smart scale market.
