Dysphagia Supplement Market Report 2024

The dysphagia supplement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2023 to $1.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The increase during the historical period can be linked to several factors, including the growing elderly population, the higher incidence of neurological disorders, improved healthcare awareness and diagnosis, the rising occurrence of dysphagia, and the rise in healthcare expenditure.

The dysphagia supplement market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.76 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, a higher rate of digestive disorders, greater use of thickening solutions, more educational initiatives, and a growing number of individuals experiencing swallowing difficulties. Key trends for the forecast period include technological innovations, the accumulation of strong clinical evidence, the expansion of distribution networks, the development of new formulations, and an uptick in research and development activities.

The growing incidence of digestive diseases is anticipated to drive expansion in the dysphagia supplement market. Digestive diseases encompass a range of gastrointestinal disorders affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Factors contributing to the increase in digestive diseases include an aging population, poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, rising obesity rates, and environmental factors. Dysphagia supplements address these issues by offering nutrient-dense, easy-to-swallow options that support proper nutrition for those experiencing swallowing difficulties. For example, a report released by United European Gastroenterology in October 2022 highlighted that digestive diseases affect over 300 million people across Europe and the Mediterranean region, leading to substantial economic burdens. Consequently, the growing prevalence of digestive diseases is fueling the dysphagia supplement market's growth.

Key players in the dysphagia supplement market are concentrating on creating innovative products such as food and beverage thickeners to better assist individuals with swallowing challenges. These thickeners are added to liquids and foods to modify their texture, making them easier and safer to ingest for people with dysphagia. By adjusting the consistency to align with an individual’s swallowing ability, thickeners help minimize the risk of aspiration and choking. For example, in January 2023, Nestlé India introduced ThickenUp Clear, a food and beverage thickener designed to aid those with swallowing issues, particularly oropharyngeal dysphagia. This xanthan gum-based product is tasteless, colorless, odorless, and resistant to amylase, allowing it to be seamlessly mixed into various liquids to improve swallowing, providing a healthier and environmentally friendly alternative. It acts as an instant thickener for both hot and cold liquids or foods, maintaining a consistent texture.

In July 2023, Aenova Group, a US-based contract manufacturer and development service provider, collaborated with Galvita to advance the development, formulation, and production of oral dosage forms. This partnership aims to offer more convenient solutions for individuals with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). Galvita, a US-based company, provides a multi-nutritional powder supplement designed for those with dysphagia.
