Increasing risk of diabetes associated with deskbound lifestyle in North America is expected to bolster the market growth in the region.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, 2015, around 30.3 million Americans were diagnosed with diabetes in 2015, and around 1.5 million are diagnosed with diabetes every year.
Moreover, increasing employee welfare activities in the corporate sector is propelling growth of the market. For instance, Accenture, a consultant company, offers employee assistance programs to provide confidential support for employees’ issues such as stress, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety.

Corporate wellness programs are conducted in corporate offices to keep employees healthy, both physically and mentally. Currently, corporate wellness programs are largely adopted by employers to promote employee health, to reduce health-related costs, and to increase the productivity and quality of work. Corporate wellness programs vary in services and activities. Some programs are largely adopted by employers including smoking cessation program to help employees to quit habit of smoking, nutrition and weight management program to help employees to manage their weight and nutrition intake, stress management program to reduce stress from employees’ life, and fitness programs to keep employees fit and active.
Market Dynamics
High prevalence of smoking, obesity, and overweight is expected to be a major factor increasing demand for corporate wellness programs. Therefore employers are adopting corporate wellness programs, in order to make their employees healthy, reduce health care costs, and increase employee’s productivity. For instance, according to the data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, around 15.5% of the U.S. adults smoke cigarettes, which is around 37.8 million adults.
In corporate offices, an employee works around 9 hours, and during this time period, most employees sit continuously and are physically inactive. Hence, such physical inactivity can lead to rise in prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, and others. Hence, increasing prevalence of such lifestyle diseases can increase demand for corporate wellness programs by employers to reduce absenteeism, increase work productivity, and improve employee morale. For instance, according to the data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, in the U.S., 30.2 million adults aged 18 years and above (around 12.2% of all the U.S. adults) were suffering from diabetes, in which type-2 diabetes accounted for 90% to 95% of all diabetes cases.
However, low adoption rate of corporate wellness by small scale corporate offices and new startups in emerging economies such as India and Africa is expected to be a major factor restraining the global corporate wellness market growth. Furthermore, low participation of employees in corporate wellness programs is also expected to hamper the global corporate wellness market growth.
