Spending on Corporate Wellness in APAC to Reach US$7.4 bn by 2024 as MNCs Encourage Fitness among Employees, finds TMR


The corporate wellness market in Asia Pacific is led by a slew of global and local companies, such as Central Corporate Wellness, ComPsych Corporation, Optum, Inc., JLT Australia (Recovre Group), Truworth Wellness, SOL Wellness, Sodexo, ConneXions Asia, and Bupa Wellness Pty Ltd. Transparency Market Research has observed that the number of companies venturing into this avenue has been steadily rising owing to the growing presence of MNCs in several developing countries.


The opportunity in the corporate wellness market in Asia Pacific was pegged at US$3.4 bn in 2015 and is expected to be worth US$7.4 bn by the end of 2024 at a strong CAGR of 9.0%. Geographical expansions, expansion of product portfolio, mergers and acquisitions, and investing in extensive wellness programs are some of the key growth strategies adopted by the leading players in the Asia Pacific. For instance, in March 2016, Sodexo signed a 10-year contract with Rio Tinto to expand its operations in Australia.

Increase of Non-communicable Diseases Driving Need for Health and Wellness Programs

The prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer has increased significantly in Asia Pacific in recent years. The report has found that these diseases account for at least 8.5 million deaths in Southeast Asia each year. “Employers are, as a result, driven to promote as well as maintain the health and well-being of their employees and offering corporate wellness programs and services has turned out to be the most effective method of doing so,” the lead analyst states. These services not only boost productivity but also reduce overall medical costs.

The corporate wellness market in Asia Pacific is also fueled by government support and initiatives, the rising number of white-collar employees, the willingness of employers to invest in wellness programs, and growing health consciousness among the population.

High Cost of Implementation Restricting Widespread Adoption

“Implementing corporate wellness programs in organizations is a costly affair and companies need to utilize a certain portion of their budget from the revenue generated,” the author of the study comments. Services such as fitness and health risk assessment need high investments and as a result, are cut down by the companies. This restricts the growth of the corporate wellness market.

In addition, the inefficient execution of corporate wellness services is a major restraint to the market and is likely to increase costs for the companies.

China to Lead APAC Corporate Wellness Market throughout Forecast Period

By type of service, the fitness segment led the overall corporate wellness market, accounting for a 38.6% share in 2015, reaching US$2,793.5 mn by 2024. The smoking cessation segment, although the smallest in terms of revenue in 2015, is anticipated to register a strong CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. By country, China emerged as the leading revenue generator in 2015 and is projected to retain its position throughout the forecast period. India, on the other hand, is expected to expand at the fastest pace by 2024.

Non-invasive Cancer Diagnostics Market Stimulated by Concerns Regarding Complexities of Invasive Cancer Tests

The significant rise in cancer cases globally and the complexities that are constantly observed with the use of diagnostic methods such as imaging and biopsies have led to an increased demand for non-invasive cancer diagnostic methods in the past few years. Transparency Market Research, in its recent report, titled “Non-Invasive Cancer Diagnostics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023,” presents a thorough analysis of the market.


The report presents an overview of the key drivers, challenges, and trends that are expected to have a substantial impact on the overall future development of the market over the period between 2015 and 2023. The report also presents a through overview of the regulatory scenario and the competitive landscape of the market.

The rising global prevalence of cancer is the chief factor driving the global non-invasive cancer diagnostics market and is expected to have a vast impact on the market’s future growth prospects as well. The WHO states that by 2020, around 15 mn new cancer cases will be observed every year across the globe, of which ovarian, gastrointestinal, and breast cancer cases will have the highest rate of occurrence. This factor will require diagnostic methods that will enable the early and accurate detection of cancers in their early stage and reduce the considerable amount of burden that cancer treatment can have on national and international economies.

North America is presently the leading contributor to the overall revenues of the global non-invasive cancer diagnostics market, followed by Europe. High awareness about healthcare and disease prevention, and the easy availability of advanced technologies will help the market achieve sustainable growth in these regions in the next few years as well.

However, the market will see the most promising growth in emerging economies across Asia Pacific over the period between 2015 and 2023. The rising prevalence of cancer, increased awareness, and rising affordability of advanced tests will lead to a sizeable rise in demand for a variety of non-invasive cancer tests in the region over the said period.

The global non-invasive cancer diagnostics market features several international firms operating amid intense competition. Rising global investments in research and development of cancer-related diagnostics and treatment methodologies have led to the introduction of several advanced technologies in the market in the past few years. A recent instance is the introduction of Cologuard by Exact Sciences, which was approved by the U.S. FDA for non-invasive diagnosis of colorectal cancer in March 2014.

Some of the key vendors operating in the global non-invasive cancer diagnostics market are Affymetrix Inc, Compugen, Quidel, Abbott Molecular, Immunicon Corporation, Roche Diagnostics, Digene Corporation, Precision Therapeutics, GE Healthcare, and DiagnoCure.
