The Middle East clinical nutrition market size was estimated at USD 1,235.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,644.1 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.11% from 2025 to 2033. High prevalence of malnutrition, a rising burden of chronic diseases, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and a growing elderly population are some of the key drivers of this market.
According to the Global Nutrition Report, the UAE faces a major nutrition challenge, with 44.2% of women and 30.9% of men aged 18 and older classified as obese. These rates are not only alarmingly high but also significantly above the regional averages for Western Asia, which are 10.3% for women and 7.5% for men. This gap highlights that obesity has become a widespread public health issue in the UAE. Such a high prevalence points to a form of malnutrition, specifically over nutrition, that requires targeted intervention through structured nutrition strategies. Therefore, there is a growing reliance on clinical nutrition products, such as tailored oral supplements, low-calorie meal replacements, and disease-specific nutrition formulas, to help manage weight, maintain balanced nutrient intake, and support overall nutritional health.
According to the United Arab Emirates' government portal, as of 2021, 11.8% of the UAE's population aged 20-79 years was affected by diabetes. Reducing the prevalence of this condition is a key performance indicator under the pillar of world-class healthcare in the UAE National Agenda 2021. To address this challenge, the Ministry of Health and Prevention launched several initiatives, including the Diabetes Screening and Professional Healthcare Education program, which focused on screening 10,000 high-risk individuals and training 90 nurses through the Johnson & Johnson Diabetes Institute (JJDI) curriculum. These national efforts highlight the important role of structured care in managing diabetes, thereby increasing the demand for clinical nutrition solutions, such as specialized dietary formulas and oral nutrition supplements that support better glucose control and dietary management. As diabetes remains a major health challenge, the use of clinical nutrition products continues to grow.
