GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Metabolic Testing Solutions markets. The global market for Metabolic Testing Solutions is projected to reach US$452.6 million by 2020, driven by the increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases, growing trend towards preventive medicine, and technological advancements.

Exercising and weight management emerged as one of the most noticeable trends in recent years, as a result of the growing focus on overall well-being among the general population. As more number of people turn towards fitness approaches to shed excess weight, and stay fit and active, demand for solutions that assist in determining metabolic rate and calorie calculations is expected to surge in the coming years. Metabolic testing solutions designed to analyze the performance of lungs and heart, assessing body’s O2 absorbing and CO2 producing capabilities and analyzing body composition in terms of fat and non-fat mass are witnessing significant growth in demand. These solutions including CPET systems, metabolic carts and body composition analyzers are used by physicians/clinicians, medical researchers and exercise physiologists in hospitals, gyms, sports training centers and laboratories for various purposes including detection of risk of various diseases, weight management and human performance testing, among others.

Cardiopulmonary exercises testing (CPET) systems aid in assessing various physiological responses including VO2 Max to exercises. Demand for CPET systems is also driven by technological advancements that enable clinicians to gather responses to exercises from neuropsychological, skeletal muscle, hematopoietic, pulmonary and cardiovascular systems. Advanced computerized CPET systems enable users to make simple as well as complex analysis of data acquired by the system in addition to easy data storage and retrieval features. Metabolic carts represent the gold standard in measuring energy expenditure, which provides more accurate and reliable readings than making estimation using age, sex, height, body weight and fat mass. Demand for body composition analyzers is primarily being driven by growing prevalence of obesity worldwide.  

As stated by the new market research report on Metabolic Testing Solutions, the United States represents the largest regional market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 10.7% over the analysis period. The growth in the region is driven by larger target patient population, improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing incidence and prevalence of cardiopulmonary diseases, and growing awareness over diseases and the available diagnostic and treatment options.
