Market Challenges And Opportunities
Global Parenteral Nutrition Market - Restraints
- Lack of awareness regarding healthcare, diet, and proper nutrition: Lack of awareness regarding healthcare, diet, and proper nutrition in low and middle income economies such as Africa and Asia Pacific is a major factor hampering the growth of the global parenteral nutrition market. There is low awareness regarding nutritional products and diseases associated with nutritional deficiencies in rural areas of low and middle income economies in Africa and Asia Pacific due to lack of healthcare professionals. For instance, according to data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in March 2020, African countries have around 2.3 healthcare workers per 1,000 population.
- Counterbalance – To counterbalance the lack of awareness regarding healthcare, diet, and proper nutrition, a multipronged approach is necessary, encompassing education, public health initiatives, policy making, and community engagement.
