Enteral Feeding Device Market Outlook (2022-2033)

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Aging Population

The global enteral feeding device market is driven by an increase in the incidence of chronic or life-threatening diseases that prevent patients from taking in the proper amount of nutrition through the mouth. Chronic or life-threatening disease states such as cancer, trauma, neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.), and GI disease usually require enteral feeding for a short- or long-term alternative source of nutrition. An increased demand for enteral feeding devices exists also due to the increasing global aging population that is more likely to experience dysphagia, malnutrition, and extended hospital stays. Enteral feeding has also been preferred clinically to parenteral feeding because of the lower cost associated with enteral feeding; a reduced incidence of infection due to enterally feeding patients; and a better ability to maintain gut function and integrity/immunity in patients when using enteral feeding. With continuing emphasis on evidence-based practices and cost containment by today's healthcare systems, standardization of enteral feeding devices as part of the clinical environment will continue within hospital settings, oncology and critical care units, and long-term care facilities. The increased survival rate for both premature infants and critically ill patients has caused an increased need for specialized enteral feeding options within both pediatric and neonatal settings. As noted, the combination of these drivers will create sustained and predictable demand for enteral feeding devices in both acute and chronic care settings.

Expansion of Home Healthcare and Technologically Advanced Enteral Feeding Solutions

The enteral feeding device market has potential for growth because of the rapid growth of the home healthcare and ambulatory care sectors worldwide. Healthcare systems are moving to provide care outside of hospitals to save money, reduce hospital-acquired infections, and create a better quality of life for patients. As a result of these trends, there is increasing demand for enteral feeding devices that are portable, easy to use and "smart," meaning that the patient or their caregiver will have the ability to operate them safely when using at home. With the introduction of new technologies such as lightweight feeding pumps, rechargeable batteries, remote monitoring functions, and simplified methods for replacing feeding tubes, there is considerable potential for growth in this segment of the industry. Many emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East are fueling this growth because of a significant improvement in their healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare-related spending and growing awareness about the importance of clinical nutrition. Additionally, the growing emphasis on improving patient safety in the regulatory environment (such as through the implementation of standardized connectors such as ENFit) will provide new opportunities for companies to replace or upgrade older systems. Companies that invest in developing new, differentiated products, integration of digital technology and localized manufacturing are likely to have a competitive advantage in these fast-growing regions. Companies that establish strategic partnerships with home care providers and nutrition companies will also be in a better position to accelerate the growth of their market penetration and long-term revenue growth.

The geographical scope of the Enteral Feeding Device market report is divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. The Enteral Feeding Device market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific Enteral Feeding Device market is segmented into China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and the Rest of Asia. The Asia-Pacific market for enteral nutrition is growing rapidly due to developing health systems, increasing expenditure on healthcare and greater awareness of clinical nutrition in both developed and developing countries in the region. China, Japan, India and South Korea are experiencing a growing incidence of chronic diseases, cancer, neurological conditions and gastrointestinal disorders which significantly increases the demand for enteral feeding consultation services. The aging population in this region is also contributing to the continuing development of this market particularly in Japan and China. The number of patients who survive following critical illness and premature births is also increasing which has further driven the increased use of enteral feeding devices in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Neonatal Units (NUs). Government programs aimed at supporting the development of hospitals, improving access to insurance coverage and developing local manufacturers of medical devices are currently also assisting this market to grow. Home Health Care is emerging as a high-growth area as it has lower costs than traditional hospital based therapy and patients prefer to receive treatment at home. Additionally, local manufacturers providing low-cost products and the increasing adoption of safety standards, including ENFit Connectors, are expected to improve the penetration of enteral feeding devices throughout Asia-Pacific.
