Enteral Feeding Tubes Market Analysis

The enteral feeding tubes market is projected to register a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the enteral feeding tube market growth, globally. The intensive care units (ICUs) in hospitals, worldwide, have been witnessing a surge in admissions due to the SARS-CoV-2 induced respiratory failure, leading to the COVID-19 disease. As per a 2020 published report by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), hospital staff across all the hospitals, worldwide, have been recommended to initiate enteral nutrition to the patients within 24-36 hours of intubation and placement. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for enteral feeding tubes in hospitals.

The studied market growth can be largely attributed to the factors, such as increasing incidences of chronic disorders, growing prevalence of malnutrition worldwide, and a rise in the number of preterm births. These factors are fueling the demand for enteral feeding tubes.

With increasing incidences of chronic disorders, there is an increased demand for enteral feeding tubes. The nutritional management of patients suffering from disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and motor neuron disease, is crucial. In such patients, enteral feeding is a commonly used intervention to provide nutritional support and combat lack of appetite, dysphagia, and physical difficulty in consuming food. As per the Alzheimer's Association report, in 2021, the number of Americans aged 65 years or above suffering from Alzheimer's dementia is 6.2 million, and the number is projected to triple to 12.7 million by 2050. Thus, the increase in incidences of neurological disorders is expected to fuel the need for enteral feeding, thereby, fueling the demand for enteral feeding tubes. Moreover, enteral nutrition is a low-risk and non-invasive therapy and is indicated for patients having a functional gastrointestinal tract as first-line induction therapy. As per a 2020 report by the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD), 10 to 15% of the population is affected by irritable bowel syndrome, worldwide, including 25 to 45 million people afflicted with the disease in the United States. Thus, with the increase in the incidence of metabolic and gastroenterology disorders, the adoption of enteral feeding is expected to increase, which will boost the demand for enteral feeding tubes.

Additionally, in June 2020, Otsuka Pharmaceutical factory launched a new ENORAS liquid for enteral use (for a feeding tube and oral administration), coffee flavor, and strawberry flavor. Such new product launches are propelling the growth of the market.

However, esophageal ulceration caused by enteral feeding tubes around the gastrostomy site and physical complications such as tube blockage, tube fracture, tube leakage, and mispositioning of the tube is some of the factors impeding the market growth.

Enteral Feeding Tubes Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Enteral Feeding Tubes Market according to our research experts:

Oncology is Expected to Witness a Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period

In the application segment, oncology is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The major factors driving the growth of the market are the increasing number of cancer cases leading to rising demand for enteral feeding tubes and the need to provide adequate nutrition to cancer patients.

Patients suffering from head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) suffer from weight loss, anorexia, asthenia, and anemia. The location of tumors and the resulting damage to the oral/esophageal tissues from treatments make weight maintenance and obtaining proper nutrition extremely difficult. Therefore, nutritional support to such patients is provided through percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes. These tubes are also used in radiation or chemotherapy in cancer treatment, allowing the patient to adapt to their use before treatments. As per the 2021 statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer accounted for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. In addition, as per the 2021 statistics by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), an estimated 66,630 people (48,740 men and 17,890 women) in the United States have been anticipated to develop head and neck cancer in 2021. Such numbers indicate that the increase in the incidence of head and neck cancer may fuel the demand for enteral feeding tubes.

Additionally, gastric cancer remains the fifth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer death in males and females, worldwide. For instance, as per the 2021 statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.09 million people were identified with stomach cancer globally. In the stomach, anorexia-cachexia syndrome is mainly caused by obstruction of the upper digestive tract due to the mechanical effects of the tumor. Therefore, nutritional support via enteral feeding is recommended for such patients. This contributes to the rising demand for enteral feeding tubes. Thus, given the factors mentioned above, the segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.

Incidence of Cancer, By Type, (%), Global, 2020

North America is Anticipated to Observe a Significant Growth in the Global Enteral Feeding Tubes Market

North America is expected to majorly contribute to the market growth. Within North America, the United States has held the major share of the market. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market are the increasing incidences of chronic disorders in the region, such as digestive disorders, diabetes, and cancer. For instance, as per the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2020, cases of diabetes have risen to an estimated 34.2 million in 2020 from an estimated 1.8 million cases in 2018. Suboptimally managed diabetes increases the risk of stroke, which may further increase the need for enteral feeding as these populations will face difficulty in swallowing, digestion, and assimilation. This factor indicates the growing demand for enteral feeding in healthcare facilities across the United States.

Additionally, a high number of surgical procedures each year, including liver transplants, fuels the demand for providing enteral nutrition to patients in the United States. For instance, as per the 2020 statistics by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 39,034 liver transplants were performed in the United States in 2020. Moreover, the presence of large-scale manufacturers, high healthcare expenditure, and an increasing number of hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic are some additional factors contributing to the increase in demand for enteral feeding tubes. Thus, given the factors mentioned above, the market is expected to witness significant growth in North America over the forecast period.
