Rise in Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Diseases Fuels North America Parenteral Nutrition Market

Crohn's disease, bowel obstruction, ulcerative colitis, short bowel syndrome, microscopic colitis, and gastric cancer are a few examples of gastrointestinal diseases. According to the "Worldwide Prevalence and Burden of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, Results of Rome Foundation Global Study," published in January 2021, functional gastrointestinal disorders have affected over 40% of people across the globe.

• Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, ~4.9 million cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were recorded worldwide in 2019. The US (762,890) registered the highest number of cases, with prevalence of 245.3 cases per 100,000 people, respectively. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are two of the commonly diagnosed IBDs. Crohn's disease is a complex, chronic disorder primarily affecting the digestive system.

It is the most common disease in North America and Europe. As per the article titled "Understanding Short Bowel Syndrome: Current Status and Future Perspectives," published in 2020, the prevalence of short bowel syndrome (SBS) has increased by more than twofold in the last 40 years. The prevalence was ~30 cases per million in the US and approximately 1.4 cases per million in Europe.

Patients with gastrointestinal diseases are at an elevated risk of nutritional deterioration as they are asked to fast before undergoing diagnostic tests. They might also face nutritional deterioration due to therapeutic dietary restriction and loss of appetite caused by anorexia or altered nutritional requirements, which can be a result of the disease itself. Hence, medical nutrition is recommended for gastrointestinal disease patients as they are unable to ingest food. Further, the parenteral routes are preferred to provide them with essential nutrients. Some people might not show compatibility with tube insertion, which makes meeting their calorie and nutrient needs difficult.

In such cases, parenteral nutrition is preferred to ensure their bodies remain hydrated and meet the calorie and other nutrient intake required to maintain physical well-being and function. Parenteral nutrition is indicated when patients cannot meet their nutritional needs as they are diagnosed with diseases such as cancer and chronic diseases, which affect the gastrointestinal tract. This type of nutrition is highly preferred as a therapy option for most patients suffering from severe SBS. Therefore, the growing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases drives the parenteral nutrition market.

North America Parenteral Nutrition Market Overview

Cancer, heart disease, and other chronic diseases are the major causes of disability and death in the US. Per the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 6 in 10 people in the country are diagnosed with at least one chronic disease. Additionally, the American Hospital Association estimates that ~133 million people have at least one chronic disease, and that number is expected to reach 170 million by 2030. According to an article titled "Trends in Parenteral Nutrition," published in January 2019; on average, ~34,000 patients receive parenteral nutrition (PN) annually in the US. Enteral tube feeding can be prescribed for treating more than 350 disease conditions in children.

The US government is working on making people aware of enteral and parenteral nutrition through initiatives. For instance, the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation creates awareness about the adoption of feeding tubes as a lifesaving medical intervention and helps parents of tube-fed children. The foundation celebrated the annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week from February 4, 2019, to February 8, 2019.

In addition, a significant rise in US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals of products by market players is likely to play a key role in the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, Fresenius Kabi received FDA approval for its SMOFlipid lipid injectable emulsion. The emulsion is the first and only four-oil lipid emulsion for patients of all ages requiring parenteral nutrition.

Therefore, the growing incidence of chronic diseases requiring medical nutrition, government efforts to raise awareness about the importance of parenteral nutrition, and strategic initiatives by key players support the growth of the parenteral nutrition market in the United States.
