Market Dynamics:
The feeding tubes market is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, and neurological disorders. Feeding tubes help in administering nutrition in patients suffering from these diseases who are unable to swallow or have difficulty in swallowing.
In addition, advances in enteral feeding procedures such as improved tube designs and insertion techniques are also expected to aid market growth.
Market Trends:
- Government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare expenditure in developing countries is expected to drive the demand for quality healthcare services including feeding tubes procedures.
- According to the WHO, preterm births affected around 15 million infants each year globally as of 2020. The rising preterm birth rate is thus expected to generate significant demand for feeding tubes over the forecast period.
Market Opportunities:
- Nasogastric tubes account for the largest share of approximately 35% of the overall feeding tubes market. Nasogastric tubes are thin, flexible tubes that are inserted into the nose and passed down into the stomach. They are commonly used in hospitals to provide short-term nutrition to patients who are unable to eat normally. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases requiring tube feeding and rising number of preterm births are major factors driving the demand for nasogastric tubes.
- The adult age group segment holds the major share of over 60% of the total feeding tubes market. Adults are more prone to chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and gastrointestinal issues requiring long-term tube feeding. Furthermore, rising geriatric population worldwide who are at high risk of dysphagia and nutritional deficiencies favors the growth of this segment.
