Enteral Feeding Tube Equipment Market Report 2024

This Enteral Feeding Tube Equipment market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The enteral feeding tube equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.48 billion in 2023 to $2.64 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, a growing elderly population, heightened awareness of nutritional needs, the expansion of home healthcare services, and advancements in healthcare infrastructure.

The enteral feeding tube equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, a growing demand for home-based healthcare solutions, an expanding geriatric population, broader global healthcare access, and greater adoption of enteral nutrition in clinical settings. Key trends during this period include advancements in medical technology, the integration of smart technology, an increase in minimally invasive procedures, expansion of the home care market, and the development of personalized nutrition solutions.

The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the enteral feeding tube equipment market. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that develop gradually, persist over time, and often require ongoing medical management. The rise in chronic diseases is attributed to factors such as aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, increasing obesity rates, and the prevalence of risk factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Enteral feeding tube equipment is essential for providing nutrition directly to patients who cannot eat by mouth due to conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, or severe gastrointestinal issues, ensuring they receive necessary nutrients and medications for continued care and treatment. For example, in April 2022, the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) reported that nearly 60% of adults have at least one chronic disease, and about 40% have multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Additionally, the economic burden of chronic diseases in the US is projected to reach $2 trillion annually, or $8,600 per person by 2030. Thus, the rising incidence of chronic diseases is fueling the growth of the enteral feeding tube equipment market.

The key companies in the enteral feeding tube equipment market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as electromagnetic navigation systems, to improve the accuracy, safety, and ease of tube placement and monitoring. Electromagnetic navigation systems are advanced technologies designed to guide and monitor the placement of medical devices, including feeding tubes, within the body. For instance, in October 2021, ENvizion Medical Ltd., a US-based medical device company, introduced a feeding tube navigation system to ensure accurate enteral tube placement in adult patients, providing an alternative to blind insertions and radiography-based methods. This new system addresses the challenges of traditional feeding tube insertions, which often rely on blind techniques or radiography, potentially leading to complications. It represents a significant advancement in enteral feeding technology, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and improved patient care.

Enteral feeding tube equipment consists of medical devices designed to deliver nutrition directly into the digestive tract of patients who cannot eat by mouth. These devices provide essential nutrients, fluids, and medications to individuals with conditions that hinder their ability to consume food normally, such as severe illnesses, neurological disorders, or gastrointestinal issues.

The primary types of enteral feeding tube equipment include gastrostomy tubes, nasoenteric tubes, and others. A gastrostomy tube, commonly known as a G-tube, is a medical device inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the stomach. It is primarily used to provide nutrition, hydration, and medication to individuals who cannot consume food orally due to various medical conditions. The applications of enteral feeding tube equipment span across oncology, gastroenterology, neurology, diabetes, and other fields, and it is used by a range of end-users, including hospitals, home care settings, ambulatory care settings, and others.
