Increasing Geriatric Population
The growing geriatric population is offering a favorable Brazil medical nutrition market outlook. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2023, 12% of the Brazilian population was over the age of 65 years. Because of the growing population of senior citizens in Brazil, there is a heightened demand for specialized nutritional products designed for this group. Elderly individuals are at a higher risk of malnutrition, muscle deterioration, and age-associated illnesses. Additionally, there is a significant prevalence of chronic illnesses in older adults, including diabetes, cancer, heart diseases, and different respiratory issues. Therefore, it is crucial to supply them with the required nutrients to sustain their health and welfare. Nutritional medical products like supplements high in vitamins, minerals, and proteins play a crucial role in fulfilling these dietary requirements. These enhance bone density, muscle strength, and health status while lowering the risk of elderly frailty and various other age-related health issues. Additionally, numerous elderly individuals frequently find it challenging to maintain a balanced diet because of issues with chewing or digestion, which further creates the need for convenient and nutrient-rich medical nutrition options.
Increasing Focus on Malnutrition and Healthcare Initiatives
The government agencies and healthcare organizations are making significant efforts to address malnutrition, which is impelling the Brazil medical nutrition market growth. Malnutrition is a public healthcare problem in Brazil that affects mainly children, pregnant women, and the impoverished. According to the Global Hunger Index (GHI), 3.9% of the Brazilian population suffered from malnourishment between 2021 and 2023. Thus, the government, intending to ensure health and nutrition in a medically safe manner for vulnerable populations, is taking steps, through various healthcare programs, to make the population properly nourished and also allow the consumption of medical nutrition products. It includes promoting fortified food items, supplements, nutrition education programs, and the involvement of private enterprises and NGOs in supplying medical nutrition to disadvantaged communities. This has brought more awareness and wider access to these products. The healthcare sector is also integrating medical nutrition into patient care, sin spaces, such as a hospital or clinical setting, for healing and recovery. Overall, the rising emphasis on health sustenance is driving the demand for medical nutrition items.
