Analyst Perspective:

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and new product launches drive the enteral nutrition market. An upsurge in the awareness regarding cancer as well as the requirement of proper nutritional intake during and after the disease treatment benefits the enteral nutrition market. Governments are also taking initiatives to bolster the adoption of enteral nutrition among people undergoing cancer treatment. For instance, the Canadian Cancer Society is creating awareness about enteral nutrition and tube feeding among cancer patients. Further, the BC Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) Program—in collaboration with Oley Foundation—supports patients in British Columbia and the Yukon with specialized nutrition needs by creating awareness through advocacy, education, and networking to help patients live enhanced lives. Key players in the enteral nutrition market are focusing on the R&D of new products and the launch of these products. In November 2020, Abbott launched Similac Pro-Advance with 2'-Fucosyllactose Oligosaccharide. It is the first enteral nutrition product launched in Canada that can be used as a novel ingredient in infant formulae.

Market Overview:

Enteral nutrition is given to a patient when they do not receive enough nutrition that is required for a healthy lifestyle through their daily food consumption. Enteral nutrition refers to any method of feeding that uses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to deliver nutrition and calories to fulfill an individual’s caloric requirements. It can include a normal oral diet, liquid supplements, or delivery using a tube (tube feeding). It is provided to patients whose energy and nutritional needs cannot be met by a regular food intake.

Market Driver:

Increasing Cases of Malnutrition and Premature Births Drive Global Enteral Nutrition Market

Malnutrition includes being undernourished, overweight, or obese, having inadequate vitamins or minerals, and having a noncommunicable disease due to a bad diet. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) data, ~1.9 billion adults were overweight or obese, whereas 462 million were underweight in 2021 globally. Additionally, 39 million children under the age of 5 were overweight, 149 million had stunted growth and development due to a chronic lack of nutrient-rich food in their diets, and 45 million were weakened (too thin for height). Nutritional support delivered through enteral and parenteral means, depending on the need, is an important and appropriate way of treating most malnutrition cases. Thus, the huge burden of malnutrition in children and adults drives the demand for enteral nutrition formulae and products.

Preterm birth refers to a baby being born too early, i.e., before the completion of 37 weeks of pregnancy. As per the WHO data published in 2023, ~13.4 million preterm births (more than 1 in 10) were reported worldwide in 2020. Additionally, most preterm births (more than 60%) occurred in Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa in 2021, which is becoming a global concern. On average, 12% of babies in low-income countries are born too early, compared to 9% in high-income countries. A large number of premature babies suffer from low weight and undeveloped immunity, which puts their life at risk. Most medical guidelines advise enteral nutrition for supporting the optimal growth of preterm infants if they are unable to drink, suck, swallow, and breathe. Also, parenteral nutrition is preferred in such babies due to sucking or swallowing difficulties as a complication of an immature birth or due to neuromuscular, heart, or other disorders. Hence, the increasing number of preterm births is driving the global enteral nutrition market growth .

Segmental Analysis:

Based on product type, the enteral nutrition market is bifurcated into general and disease specific. The general segment held a larger market share in 2022. The disease-specific product type is anticipated to register a higher CAGR of 6.1% during 2022–2030. General or standard formulas or whole protein formulas are designed for adults or children with normal digestion. Standard formulas include all nutrients required to maintain health. A few standard formulas can be used for both enteral feeding and parenteral feeding. Standard formulas provide 10–25% energy from protein sources, including milk, whey, casein, caseinates, or soy protein. Protein in formulas provides 4 kcal/gm. Standard feeding formulas are typically well tolerated and contain complete protein and long-chain fat. Calorically dense formulas (1.5–2.0 kcal/ml) are usually required to provide adequate energy. These are intended and recommended for patients who require nutrition to maintain health and who suffer from digestion problems. Nestlé and Abbott are among the companies that offer standard protein enteral feeding formulations. Jevity 1.0 Cal, manufactured by Abbott, is composed of milk and soy protein. It is a standard protein product with fiber content and is suitable for lactose-intolerant people.

The foundation celebrated the annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week from February 4 to February 8, 2019. Further, Nutricia and many similar companies are committed to raising awareness among the population. In January 2023, Nestlé Health Science invested ~US$ 43 million in the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, US. To expand this facility, the company would add two new production lines to ramp up the manufacturing of an array of medical nutrition products, such as tube-feeding formulas and nutritional drinks. In February 2021, Amsino Medical Group received the FDA 510(k) clearance for its Puggle enteral feeding pump and feeding set for pediatric and adult patients.
