Market Trends of Asia-Pacific Enteral Feeding Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Enteral Feeding Devices Market according to our research experts:
The Oncology Segment is Expected to Grow Fastest during the Forecast Period
The major factor driving the growth of the oncology segment is the rising prevalence of cancer in the region. Cancer treatment causes many complications and side effects in patients, including mucositis sores in the mouth, difficulty in chewing and swallowing solid food, and altered saliva level, making it difficult to swallow. Cancer patients suffer from severe weight loss, as they cannot take proper food, resulting in a shortage of nutrition in the body. According to the estimates of Globocan 2018, there were likely to be 1,157,294 new cases of cancer in India. It has been observed that breast, lip, oral cavity, cervical, and lung cancers are the major types of cancers in India. Oral cancer is the most common type of cancer in men and breast cancer is in women. Thus, the presence of a huge patient pool is likely to create tremendous opportunities for the market.
