The global Enteral Feeding Formulas market size is expected to be worth around US$ 10.3 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Enteral Feeding Formulas market size was valued at US$ 5.10 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.11% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis, dementia, chronic liver disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and diabetes is projected to drive the demand for products that support patients with oral intake issues. In addition, the rise in preterm births is one of the significant factors boosting the demand for enteral feeding formulas to meet the nutritional requirements of newborns.

Based on product, the standard formulas segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 54.0% in 2020. This high share is attributable to the availability of a vast variety of standard formulas coupled with increased demand for low-cost nutrient formulations. In addition, the demand with respect to standard tube feeds is significant among the volume-sensitive patients or the patients on fluid restrictions. Such conditions include renal failure, congestive heart failure, and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH).

In 2020, based on flow type, the intermittent feeding flow type segment accounted for the highest revenue share in the market because intermittent feeding has shown better tolerance in patients as compared to bolus feeding. Moreover, this type of feeding does not require feeding pumps, which is helpful in allowing greater mobility in between the feedings. This is expected to increase its adoption among the hospital as well as homecare settings, thereby affirmatively impacting the segment growth.

In 2020, based on stage, the adults' segment accounted for the highest revenue share of 88.4% in the market. The segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The rising adoption of tube feeds in adults is one of the crucial factors driving the growth. In addition, the availability of large number of tube feeds or products for adults on a commercial level also contributes to the large share held by the segment. Glucerna, Osmolite, TwoCal, Vital, Promote, and Jevity are some of the popular brands by Abbott Nutrition for adults.

Based on indications, other indications, followed by cancer care accounted for the largest share in terms of revenue in 2020. The increasing prevalence of cancer and other health conditions associated with cancer is likely to promote market growth. For instance, according to GLOBOCON 2020, there were around 19.3 million new cases of cancer worldwide in 2020. Europe accounted for about 23.4% of total cancer cases and Asia had the highest population suffering from cancer, which was about 60%.

In 2020, based on end user, the homecare segment accounted for the highest revenue share in the market and this segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The increasing number of patients that receive home enteral feeding due to growing awareness about complete and balanced nutrition is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of this segment. For instance, according to a recent survey conducted in the U.K., there were 187 patients on home enteral tube feeding out of the total 257 patients. This suggested that approximately 72% of patients were on home enteral tube feeding.

North America dominated the market with a revenue share of 29.7% in 2020 owing to the growing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and other neurological conditions. Furthermore, increasing preference for home-based enteral therapy has decreased the number of patient visits to hospitals and clinics. In addition, increasing malnutrition is expected to further boost the demand for enteral feeding formulas in this region.

In addition, the rising number of COVID-19 cases in various geographies coupled with the large geriatric population, susceptible to various health conditions, are among the factors contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, according to an article published in Europe PMC in 2020, enteral nutrition is generally preferred over parenteral nutrition for COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICUs. In addition, it should be provided within 48 hours of admission. Hence, such instances signify increasing adoption of enteral feeding formulas during the pandemic.

Report Highlights

Based on product type, standard formulas dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 54.0% in 2020. This high share is attributable to the availability of a wide variety of standard formulas coupled with increased demand for low-cost nutrient formulations. In addition, the demand with respect to standard tube feeds is significant among the volume-sensitive patients or the patients on fluid restrictions. Such conditions include renal failure, congestive heart failure, and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH).

In addition, the disease specific formulas segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The high prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and liver failure, is propelling the demand for disease-specific formulas. In addition, recent product developments to cater to specific nutritional requirements of various diseases are expected to boost the demand in the coming years. NOVASOURCE RENAL by Nestlé Health Science and SUPLENA by Abbott are examples of standard tube feeds used in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

In 2020, based on flow type, intermittent feeding flow type accounted for the highest revenue share of 94.5% in the market. This is because intermittent feeding has shown better tolerance in patients as compared to bolus feeding. Moreover, this type of feeding does not require feeding pumps, which is helpful in allowing greater mobility in between the feedings. This is expected to increase its adoption among the hospital as well as homecare settings, thereby affirmatively impacting the segment growth.

In addition, the continuous feeding flow type segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The lower feeding rate of continuous feeding flow as compared to intermittent feeding is one of the major factors responsible for the lucrative growth of the segment. Continuous tube feeding is recommended for critically ill patients suffering from conditions such as respiratory failure, severe burns, and cancer. The increasing prevalence of such conditions is anticipated to propel the growth of the continuous feeding flow type segment during the forecast period.

In 2020, based on stage, the adults' segment accounted for the highest revenue share of 88.4% in the market. The segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The rising adoption of tube feeds in adults is one of the crucial factors driving the growth. In addition, the availability of large number of tube feeds or products for adults on a commercial level also contributes to the large share held by the segment. Glucerna, Osmolite, TwoCal, Vital, Promote, and Jevity are some of the popular brands by Abbott Nutrition for adults. 

Furthermore, increasing demand for tube feeds among pregnant women is also one of the major factors driving the market for the adult segment. In addition, pregnant women frequently suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is categorized by severe vomiting and nausea, which may lead to a deficiency of vital nutrients and dehydration. According to a research study conducted by Mount Mary University, enteral nutrition showed successful pregnancy outcomes in women suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. Moreover, increasing demand for tube feeds among patients suffering from neurovascular disorders is positively impacting the market growth.

Based on indications, others' segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 42.7% in 2020. The segment is followed by cancer care, which accounted for a significant share of 24.0% in terms of revenue in 2020. The increasing prevalence of cancer and other health conditions associated with cancer is likely to promote the growth of the segment. For instance, according to GLOBOCON 2020, there were around 19.3 million new cases of cancer worldwide in 2020. Europe accounted for about 23.4% of total cancer cases and Asia had the highest population suffering from cancer, which was about 60%. 

Cancer weakens immunity and leads to loss of energy, which results in malnutrition in 40% to 80% of the cases. This affects the response to the treatment as well as increases treatment-related toxicity. Hence, to maintain nutrition and positive nitrogen balance, tube feeding is used, thereby fueling the market growth. Major players, such as Abbott Laboratories, provide liquid formulations that can be tube fed to cancer patients, to help maintain their nutrient balance. For instance, Jevity 1.5 Cal is prescription-based nutrition that is useful for cancer patients.

In 2020, based on end user, the homecare segment accounted for the highest revenue share of 56.1% in the market. The segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The increasing number of patients that receive home enteral feeding due to growing awareness about complete and balanced nutrition is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of this segment. For instance, according to a recent survey conducted in the U.K., there were 187 patients on home enteral tube feeding out of the total 257 patients. This suggested that approximately 72% of patients were on home enteral tube feeding.

Furthermore, rising awareness regarding enteral feeding formulas among home-based healthcare patients and increasing government intervention for educating the patient population with regards to the utilization of enteral feeding systems or pumps are some of the other factors boosting segment growth.

North America dominated the enteral feeding formulas market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 29.7% in 2020 owing to the growing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and other neurological conditions. Furthermore, increasing preference for home-based enteral therapy has decreased the number of patient visits to hospitals and clinics. In addition, increasing malnutrition is expected to further boost the demand for enteral feeding formulas in this region.

Furthermore, in Asia Pacific, the market is expected to exhibit lucrative growth over the forecast period. The increasing incidence of preterm births is one of the major factors that propel the regional demand. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Indonesia are among the top five countries with the largest number of preterm births. Factors such as increasing healthcare expenditure and recent improvements in healthcare infrastructure in many countries including China, Japan, India, and Singapore are anticipated to drive the market in the forthcoming years.
