Rising Aging Population Bolster Czech Republic Enteral Nutrition Market
The aging population in the Czech Republic is one of the most significant factors contributing to the market's growth. Older adults are susceptible to chronic conditions such as malnutrition, which is prevalent among the elderly due to poor appetite, difficulty swallowing, and impaired digestion. This leads to a higher demand for enteral nutrition products that can provide essential nutrition for these individuals, both in hospitals and at home.
According to the Czech Statistical Office, the country is witnessing a notable increase in the elderly population. In December 2023, there was a population ratio of 130 seniors for every 100 children, and this ratio is expected to exceed 200 in 2040. Women aged 65 years in 2023 could expect to live another 20.4 years, and men of the same age 16.7 years. In 2023, 20.5% of the population was aged 65 and over.
Hence, the demand for enteral nutrition is growing with the increasing aging population.
The Czech Republic enteral nutrition market analysis has been carried out by considering product type. The Czech Republic enteral nutrition market, based on type, is segmented into nasogastric, nasoenteral, sipping, and others. The nasogastric segment held the largest share in the Czech Republic enteral nutrition market in 2023, and it is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2023–2031. Nasogastric feeding involves the insertion of a small tube into the stomach through the nose, offering a simple, cost-effective solution for providing nutrition to patients facing swallowing difficulties, neurological disorders, or severe conditions that impair oral intake. Nasogastric feeding helps patients get enough nutrition to recover from illness. Nasogastric feeding is commonly prescribed for patients who require short-term feeding support.
The demand for nasogastric feeding in the Czech Republic is driven by the increasing incidence of neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions that affect swallowing. Additionally, the aging population in the country is contributing to the rise in the number of patients who require nutritional support, particularly after surgeries or in the management of chronic diseases. Healthcare infrastructure improvements and the availability of advanced, safer NG feeding tube systems are also encouraging the adoption of nasogastric enteral feeding.
Sipping enteral nutrition is an increasingly popular alternative to enteral feeding by tubes, wherein patients consume nutrition through a specially designed straw or sipping device. This type of nutrition is useful for individuals who can manage to sip liquid nutrition. Sipping systems offer patients comfort compared to traditional tube feeding, making it a preferred choice for individuals with partial swallowing ability. In the Czech Republic, sipping enteral nutrition is gaining traction in home care settings, where convenience and comfort are key factors. It is also increasingly used in outpatient settings for patients recovering from surgery or suffering from conditions such as cancer or gastrointestinal disorders.
The Czech Republic enteral nutrition market is driving by several key factors, including an aging population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and advancements in medical technologies. One of the primary drivers of this market is the rapidly aging demographic in the Czech Republic. According to the Czech Statistical Office, the share of the population aged 65 and over has been consistently increasing, reached to the one-fifth of the total population by the end of 2023, which translates to approximately 2,237,322 individuals. Older adults are more susceptible to health conditions such as strokes, neurological disorders (e.g., dementia), and gastrointestinal diseases, all of which raise the demand for enteral feeding solutions. Given the projected growth of this demographic, the demand for enteral nutrition products—particularly in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings—is expected to increase significantly.
Additionally, chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and gastrointestinal disorders, are prevalent in the Czech Republic. These health conditions can lead to malnutrition or need enteral feeding due to difficulties with swallowing or metabolic changes. In 2022, the Global Cancer Observatory reported that the number of new cancer cases in the Czech Republic was 65,676, while the number of prevalent cases (5-year) was 207,021. Cancer is notably significant; according to the Czech Ministry of Health, it is the second leading cause of death in the country, greatly influencing the demand for enteral nutrition as many cancer patients experience malnutrition as a side effect of their treatments. The rising incidence of cancer and neurological disorders, such as stroke and dementia, further escalates the need for enteral nutrition. According to the Lancet Journal, there were 192748 cases of dementia in the Czech Republic in 2019, with an estimated 379,742 cases projected by 2050.
