Enteral nutrition is indicated for individuals with chronic illness conditions to counteract a weakened immune system, which affects eating patterns and results in significant weight loss. Furthermore, the rising incidence of chronic disorders such as diabetes, chronic renal disease, and malnutrition is likely to fuel growth in the global enteral nutrition market during the forecast period. More government efforts, investments, and financing for R&D are likely to fuel the market. The primary factors constraining growth of the enteral nutrition market are the adverse effects and problems produced by enteral feedings. Aggressive enteral feeding may increase the risk of aspiration or vomiting in a kid with gastroesophageal reflux. Additional physical drawbacks are diarrhoea, skin deterioration, or anatomic disturbance. A dislodged or clogged feeding tube is one of the mechanical drawbacks. Additionally, in low and medium income nations, a lack of understanding about healthcare, diet, and correct nutrition is a key impediment to the growth of the worldwide enteral nutrition market.
According to Coherent Market Insights, The global Enteral Nutrition Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2,635.9 million in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period (2020-2027).
