In the residential sector, there is an increasing demand for home scales due to increasing economic activity, technological advances in laboratory scales, and the need to maintain precision in weight. Several factors are contributing to the increasing adoption and penetration of home scales, including reliability, accuracy, durability, portability, ease of calibration, and extra features.
Companies are increasingly focusing on introducing compact and portable products to gain market share. Advanced technology is being integrated to achieve enhanced precision. For instance, the company, Truweigh LLC, launched a water-resistant digital pocket scale in April 2019. The product is also dust-proof due to its IP65 rating. The pocket weighing scale comes with a white backlit LCD and a black titanium chrome platform. Due to their space-saving capabilities, portability, and similar accuracy, portable weighing machines are the most popular choice for home-based business owners.
With recent manufacturing innovations, these home scales come in various sizes and colors. They have also been designed with a portability feature, which has proved useful to both healthcare professionals and patients alike.
There has been a rapid increase in chronic and acute diseases and disorders throughout the world as a result of obesity. This has contributed significantly to the growth in sales of home scales in recent years. Accordingly, the home scales market is experiencing lucrative growth opportunities due to the rising incidence rates of osteoarthritis, diabetes, heart strokes, and high blood pressure.
A large share of the growth and development of the healthcare industry is driven by both public and private players, especially in developing economies. This is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the home scales market.
There will be lucrative opportunities for market growth due to increasing research and development expenditures, especially in developed and developing countries. Research conducted in healthcare research laboratories by biotechnology industries is directly influencing the demand for home scales as more and more biotechnological companies conduct research in healthcare research laboratories.
Due to the strong healthcare infrastructure in North America and a growing need for measuring devices for testing and measurement, North America dominates the home scale market.
