Enteral Feeding Formula Market Drivers

Rising Prevalence of Cancer Is Driving the Market Growth:

With the rising prevalence of cancer worldwide, the market for enteral feeding formulas is accelerating. The rising incidence of cancer diseases such as lung, breast, liver, and stomach cancer has resulted in increased mortality. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths occurred worldwide. Around 53.5 million individuals survived five years post-diagnosis. Globally, approximately 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime, with mortality rates of 1 in 9 for men and 1 in 12 for women. Cancer cachexia affects the majority of cancer patients, resulting in insulin resistance, accelerated lipolysis with body fat loss, increased protein turnover, muscle mass loss, and loss of appetite and weight. Cancer prevalence varies by location. Asia accounts for more than half of all cancer cases, while Europe accounts for one-quarter. Furthermore, as it is extremely difficult for cancer patients to eat food orally, nutrition is the cornerstone for improving their clinical condition. As the treatment progresses, nutrition is provided via enteral feeding tubes, allowing them to maintain their body mass, which is driving the demand for enteral feeding formula and boosting the market growth. Furthermore, research presented at the 2020 Virtual Congress on Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, the annual conference of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), demonstrated that Kate Farms' plant-based, oral, enteral formulas (PBEF) can help adult oncology patients maintain or gain weight, allowing them to receive necessary treatment. As a result, the rising incidence and prevalence of cancer contribute to the growth of the market.

Growing Incidence of Chronic Illness is Accelerating the Market Growth:

The enteral feeding formulas market is being driven primarily by the increasing prevalence of metabolic and chronic disorders, and increased patient care expenditure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the foremost cause of global mortality, claiming 17.9 million lives annually, encompassing heart and blood vessel disorders like coronary and cerebrovascular diseases. Furthermore, low- and middle-income countries account for 80 percent of all deaths. Moreover, as per the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a significant health concern in Canada, with a prevalence of 825 per 100,000 in 2023. Forecasted to increase by 2.44% annually, it's anticipated that 470,000 Canadians, comprising 1.1% of the population, will have IBD by 2035. Furthermore, an increase in the number of premature births, as well as growing nutritional deficiencies, such as severe protein and other micronutrient deficiencies in infants and pregnant women, will drive the demand for nutritional requirements, boosting the overall market growth.

Enteral Feeding Formula Market Challenges

 Clogging of Enteral Tubes are Posing Challenges to the Market

When large enteral meals, bulking agents, and medications are delivered through relatively small PEG tubes, clogging is common. Internal lumen occlusion and mechanical tube failure are the two types of tube occlusion. Feeding tube clogging can occur in up to 25% of cases. When excessively thick meals and medications are delivered through a relatively thin feeding line, clogging occurs. Because the low pH of stomach juice can cause protein coagulation, repeated gastric aspiration is avoided. Tube obstructions have been linked to poor nutrition and clinical outcomes. A lapse in the patient's eating schedule, for example, could jeopardise adequate nutritional intake. Tube replacement is prohibitively expensive, both financially and in terms of resources. Radiographic confirmation is one of the most accurate and widely used methods for determining enteral feeding tube placement, but it has a cost in terms of time, money, and patient exposure.
