Enteral Feeding Devices Global Market Report 2024

Enteral feeding devices play a crucial role in delivering nutrition through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via tube feedings. These medical devices are utilized by individuals who are unable to consume food orally, face challenges in swallowing safely, or require nutritional supplementation. They are particularly beneficial for individuals such as those who are bedridden, undergoing cancer treatment, dealing with neurological disorders, or facing severe illness, even when at home.

The primary product types within the enteral feeding devices category include enteral feeding tubes, enteral feeding pumps, administration sets, enteral syringes, and other consumables. Enteral feeding tubes are medical tubes designed to deliver liquid food to patients unable to intake food orally due to various conditions. These devices find applications across a range of medical scenarios, including oncology, gastrointestinal diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes, and others. End-users of enteral feeding devices include hospitals, home care settings, ambulatory care settings, and various other healthcare facilities.

The enteral feeding devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.2 billion in 2023 to $4.55 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the aging population, the prevalence of chronic diseases, an increase in hospital admissions, a rise in home-based care initiatives, and supportive regulatory measures. These elements collectively contributed to the overall growth observed during that timeframe.

The enteral feeding devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the emphasis on increased patient-centric care, opportunities in emerging markets, the impact of health insurance reimbursement policies, a focus on sustainability and environmental considerations, and ongoing research and development efforts in the field. Noteworthy trends expected in this period encompass the trend towards nutritional personalization, efforts to minimize infection risks, the development of smart enteral feeding systems, the introduction of compact and portable devices, and the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing enteral feeding solutions. These trends are poised to significantly impact and contribute to the projected growth and evolution of the enteral feeding devices industry in the forecasted period.

The enteral feeding devices market is anticipated to experience growth driven by an increase in preterm births, referring to births occurring before the 37th week of pregnancy. These devices play a crucial role in providing immediate nutrition to preterm infants who may require supplementation to breast milk. The rising incidence of preterm births can be attributed to factors such as multiple pregnancies, adolescent pregnancy rates, caesarean deliveries before full-term, unnecessary inductions, infections, and chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. A report from May 2022 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed a 4% increase in the preterm birth rate in 2021, reaching 10.48%, highlighting the demand for enteral feeding devices.

The enteral feeding devices market is expected to be fueled by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, which necessitate effective nutritional management. Chronic diseases, persisting over an extended period, account for a significant portion of global deaths. Enteral feeding devices serve as vital tools in the management of chronic conditions, ensuring proper nutrient intake in patients facing challenges with regular eating. In September 2023, the World Health Organization reported that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic conditions contributed to 74% of total deaths worldwide, emphasizing the substantial market demand for enteral feeding devices in addressing the nutritional needs of individuals battling chronic diseases.

Technological advancements are emerging as a noteworthy trend in the enteral feeding devices market. Companies are actively introducing advanced and efficient products to meet the demands of healthcare professionals. For instance, in May 2021, ENvizion Medical, an Israel-based enteral feeding devices company, developed the ENvue system, a feeding tube navigation system designed for accurate placement in adult patients. This electro-mechanical device, equipped with embedded software, creates personalized body maps, allowing precise placement of enteral feeding tubes in the stomach or small intestine through oral or nasoenteric routes. The incorporation of such technological innovations enhances the efficiency and accuracy of enteral feeding procedures.

To gain a competitive advantage in the enteral feeding devices market, major companies are concentrating on the development of products capable of delivering thick and homogenized formulas. These specialized enteral feeding devices are essential for providing nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract, catering to individuals with swallowing difficulties or specific dietary needs. A notable example is the Kangaroo OMNI Enteral Feeding Pump, launched by Cardinal Health Inc. in September 2023. This innovative pump represents a significant advancement in enteral feeding technology, offering a versatile solution designed to deliver thick, blended formulas in the United States. The Kangaroo OMNI enhances nutritional care for patients in both hospital and home settings, providing a comfortable and convenient feeding experience.
