The global enteral feeding formulas market size is expected to reach USD 10.5 billion by 2030, expanding at 5.5% CAGR from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing incidences of targeted diseases and advancements in drug development are expected to drive the demand for disease-specific formulas. Clinical nutrition is increasingly used for the personalized treatment of diseases, such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. These conditions require special nutrition to avoid any kind of drug interaction.
For instance, in the case of cystic fibrosis, special digestive enzyme capsules are administered. The nature of these digestive enzymes can vary in individuals. Appropriate nutrition is critical for preterm infants, and early nutrition provision could influence better clinical outcomes & growth of the child, including neurodevelopment, decreased risk of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), or prevention of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD).
The commitment of NPOs and NGOs to preventing and caring for preterm birth, such as the 'Every Woman Every Child' movement of the UN, to advance the global strategy on women's and children's health, is expected to boost the demand for neonatal & preterm enteral feeding formulas. Growing initiatives to spread awareness regarding the importance of nutrients among the patient population are expected to improve the current market scenario.
According to an article titled ASPEN Strives to Address Critical Gaps in Diagnoses, Care, and Treatment through Annual Malnutrition Awareness Week, published by ASPEN, around 10 hospitalized patients go undiagnosed every 60 seconds. Hence, this organization established Malnutrition Awareness Week in 2011 to spread awareness regarding malnutrition in hospitalized patients and educate healthcare professionals on the importance of nutrients among patients.
In case of medical necessity, Medicaid must cover enteral nutrition. However, there are no such regulations/mandates on private insurance companies. Moreover, as per the results of a survey conducted by NCBI, there is a huge lack of reimbursement for patients on Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) and inadequate awareness among stakeholders regarding market opportunities, especially in lower-income countries.
