Enteral feeding is a well-established practice across paediatric and adult populations, to enhance nutritional intake and prevent malnutrition. These devices have received interest in recent years as these devices are used across various end users including hospital and home settings. There is immense advancement in the areas of enteral feeding tubes including the minimization of errors allied with misconnection of tube, the accurate and consistent delivery of formula etc.
Preference of enteral feeding over parenteral nutrition is one of the factors gaining a significant traction in the market. Enteral tube feeding is the preferred route since enteral feeding avoids complications, commonly associated with parenteral nutrition such as infection, liver & gallbladder disorders, sepsis etc. Moreover, elderly patients diagnosed with chronic disorders such as cancer, inherited metabolic disease and neurological disorders are generally recommended with enteral nutrition. The increasing incidences of chronic disorders are likely to fuel the growth of the market. For instance, as indicated by world Health organization cancer is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Thus, rise in the number of admissions in hospitals due to increase in the number of patients diagnosed with chronic diseases are in turn driving the demand for enteral feeding, fostering the market growth.
The report analyses the global enteral feeding tubes market based on product, age group, application, end user and geography.
The various types of enteral feeding tubes studied in this report include enterostomy feeding tube, nasoenteric feeding tube, and oroenteric feeding tube. Further, the enterostomy feeding tube incorporates gastrostomy feeding tube, percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) tube, and percutaneous radiological gastrostomy and jejunostomy tube. The gastrostomy feeding tubes segment is sub-segmented into percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy feeding tube (PEG), balloon gastrostomy tube, and low-profile balloon gastrostomy (buttons). The enterestomy-feeding tubes observed the maximum demand across various end users and this trend is likely to be continued until 2026. Growing number of preterm births as well as increasing demand for homecare are the factors boosting the market over the forecast period.
These devices are used across populace of various age group including adults, pediatrics and neonates. Adults segment is likely to have maximum demand for the enteral feeding formulas market. Mostly, enteral nutrition is prescribed to patients suffering from malnutrition, cancer or gastrointestinal disorders. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and illness such as neurological diseases and disorders in adults are which are driving the market in adults.
Enteral feeding tubes find major application in gastrointestinal disease, cancer, neurological disorder, diabetes etc. The cancer segment is further divided into head & neck cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, etc. The oncology segment held the largest market share of the enteral feeding formula, primarily due to high prevalence of malnutrition among cancer patients.
The major end users of the market are hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres and home care. Hospital segment emerged as the leading end-user segment owing higher demand for the enteral feeding tubes market. The development of technologically advanced enteral feeding tubes and the shift from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition is supporting the growth of the hospitals segment.
Based on geography, the global enteral feeding tubes market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. North America held the largest market share in terms of revenue in 2019. This is attributed to several factors such as increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and other disorders such as diabetes, autism, and cancer, increasing geriatric population prone to chronic diseases that result in a number of ailments such as digestive disorders, neurological disorders, and organ failure among others.
Asia pacific is anticipated to observe the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Increase in the number of hospital admissions, geriatric population, preterm births and malnutrition patients are some of the factors expected to propel the regional growth. For instance, according to the WHO, from January 2014 to November 2015, there were around 3.5 million preterm births in India, followed by china with 1.71 million preterm births.
