The global enteral feeding market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Enteral feeding enables in delivering nutrients through the use of a tube into the gastrointestinal tract. Patients that are unable to swallow or digest an adequate amount of food and have the proper intestinal functional capacity are fed through this tube. Patients are given nutritionally complete liquid formulas straight into the intestine or stomach by using a designed tube. These tubes are available in a wide variety ranging from 30-43 inches, with diameters from 8-14 inches for adults for short time enteral feeding. The primary factors that drive the growth of the market include rapidly increasing geriatric population, high health care expenses, rising prevalence of premature birth, and high demand for home care.



Moreover, rising chronic diseases and disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders (COPD) among others are also some of the key factors that are likely to create scope for the market growth. However, complications associated with enteral feedings, patient safety risk, and incidence of medication and feeding errors are some of the factors that may hamper the enteral feeding market growth during the forecast period.



Segmental Outlook



The global enteral feeding market is segmented on the basis of product, age group, application, and end-user. Based on the product, the market is segmented into formulas and devices. The enteral feeding formulas segment is further bifurcated into standard formulas and disease-specific formulas. Disease-specific formulas are estimated to hold a significant share. While enteral feeding devices is further segmented into enteral feeding pumps, enteral feeding tubes, and other devices. Eternal feeding pumps that are used for controlling the timing of feeding and the amount of clinical nutrition served to a patient, hold a prominent share in the market.



Based on the age group, the market is bifurcated into pediatric and adults. Eternal feeding for adults is estimated to contribute a prominent share to the market. By application, the market is segmented into oncology, diabetes, gastroenterology, neurological disorders, and others. Based on the end-user, the market is bifurcated into hospitals and home care. Hospital segment holds a prominent share owing to the increasing demand from critically ill patients coupled with the high prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and others.



Adults Segment to Register Significant Growth in the Market Globally



Amongst the age group segment of the global enteral market, the adult segment is likely to hold a significant share in the market. The segmental growth of the market is attributed to the rising incidences of chronic diseases in adults, increased demand for the feed tubes for pregnant women, and others. Pregnant women may sometimes suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum, which leads to nausea and severe vomiting which results in a deficiency of vital nutrients and dehydration. Moreover, the accessibility to a large number of tube feeds for adults such as Glucerna, Jevity, Osmolite, Promote, TwoCal, and Vitalalso contributed to the segmental growth of the market.



Regional Outlook

North America is expected to hold a significant share in the global market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the favorable reimbursement policies' favoring the acceptance of tube feeds for the patients as enteral nutrition is covered under Medicare claims and the growing burden of chronic diseases. Along with this, the government is also creating awareness programs for the awareness of tube feeds. Thus, these factors altogether contribute to the market growth in the North American region. Further, Asia-Pacific is also one of the promising regions for market growth, especially the developing economies such as India, China, and Indonesia. In addition, the emergence of small players in the market presents lucrative opportunities for market growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
