Enteral and Parenteral Medical Nutrition Market Analysis

The growth of the market is mainly fueled by the growing investments from international players, improving government support in countries such as China, supportive initiatives and nutrition research, and advancing healthcare infrastructure. The macro and micronutrient formulations of enteral and parenteral nutrition and their applications vary based on different diseases, such as cancer and gastrointestinal diseases. Energy-dense formulae (>1 kcal/ml) are prescribed to increase calorie delivery in patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction. A rise in the number of people turning to plant-based food causes the demand for plant-based nutrition products worldwide. The Innova Consumer Survey 2020 revealed that diet variety, health, sustainability, and taste are among the most important reasons why people consider plant-based alternatives. Companies (Kate Farms, Functional Formularies, and Real Food Blends) in the market anticipate that a rising focus on healthy foods will change into a preference for healthier nutrition products. As a result, companies have developed more natural and plant-based enteral products. Moreover, the rising geriatric population, growing incidence of chronic diseases and neurological disorders, and product innovations by the market players are anticipated to support the market growth.

Enteral and Parenteral Medical Nutrition Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Number of Gastrointestinal Diseases to Favor Market Growth

Bowel obstruction, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, short bowel syndrome (SBS), and certain cancers are some examples of gastrointestinal diseases. As per the “Worldwide Prevalence and Burden of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, Results of Rome Foundation Global Study,” published in January 2021, functional gastrointestinal disorders have affected more than 40% of people across the world. Research conducted by Crohn’s & Colitis UK confirms that ~1 in every 123 people in the country had either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis in 2022, accounting for ~0.5 million people living with IBD in the UK. Moreover, SBS occurs in ~3 per 1 million people yearly. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases are at an increased risk of nutritional degradation. They may also experience nutritional deterioration due to therapeutic dietary limitation and loss of appetite caused by anorexia or altered nutritional requirements, which can be due to the disease itself. Hence, medical nutrition is recommended for gastrointestinal disease patients as these patients cannot ingest food. The enteral and parenteral routes are ideal to provide them with essential nutrients. Therefore, the rising cases of gastrointestinal diseases drive the growth of the enteral and parenteral medical nutrition market.
