Global Clinical Nutrition Market


Clinical Nutrition Market Trends:

Aging Population and Rising Disease Burden

The geriatric individuals are adopting clinical nutrition because they have poor nutrient absorption and slowed metabolism. Furthermore, the need for clinical nutrition is attributed to the rising incidence of chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disorders among the masses worldwide. People require specific nutritional therapies as they become older to manage long-term health issues. Clinical nutrition plays a vital role in the management and prevention of disease through the provision of nutritional supplements and medicinal food items. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of obesity and associated metabolic problems among elderly individuals is bolstering the clinical nutrition market growth. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people aged 80+ is anticipated to triple by 2050, reaching 426 Million.

Increasing Awareness about the Importance of Nutrition in Healthcare

Healthcare professionals and consumers are recognizing the importance of diet in avoiding and treating illnesses. Healthcare professionals are realizing the importance of evaluating, advising, and intervening in nutrition during clinical practice to improve patient health results. Evidence-based recommendations, assessments of dietary intake, and tools for nutritional screening are crucial in identifying individuals who may be at risk of malnutrition or nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, the increasing need for functional foods, fortified ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, and personalized nutrition solutions is offering a positive clinical nutrition market outlook. People are consuming food products that provide specific health benefits like immune support, digestive health, and cognitive function. The IMARC Group forecasts that the worldwide RTD beverages market is predicted to surpass US$ 402.0 Billion by 2032.

Technological Advancements in Healthcare

Personalized nutrition and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) are providing individualized solutions to meet nutritional needs and health objectives of each individual. Advancements in technology such as nutrigenomics and metabolomics assist in enabling a deeper understanding of how genetic variations and metabolic pathways influence nutrient metabolism, response to dietary interventions, and susceptibility to chronic diseases. Furthermore, wearable technology, smartphone apps, and digital health platforms offer real time feedback, remote monitoring, and customized coaching. These technological innovations enable individuals to take an active role in managing their health through personalized nutrition and lifestyle modifications, which is catalyzing clinical nutrition demand. On 23 November 2023, FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a global leader in protein and prebiotics, launched Nutri Whey™ ProHeat, a heat-stable whey protein designed for the medical nutrition market. By using the latest microparticulation technology, FrieslandCampina Ingredients created a highly heat-stable whey protein ingredient.

Changing Dietary Patterns and Nutritional Needs

Changing dietary patterns, lifestyle habits, and socioeconomic factors are influencing nutritional needs of individuals. Furthermore, changing lifestyles like sedentary behavior, irregular meal patterns, and high-stress levels, impact nutrient requirements and metabolism, which is increasing the chances of malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and metabolic disorders. Moreover, inadequate intake of essential nutrients, coupled with excessive calorie consumption and nutrient-poor food choices, leads to nutritional imbalances and poor health outcomes. In addition, the rising prevalence of obesity, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diet-related chronic conditions, necessitates interventions to promote healthier eating habits and improve nutritional status. Over 35 million new cancer cases are expected to occur in 2050, as per the World Health Organization (WHO).

Clinical Nutrition Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key clinical nutrition market trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on product, route of administration, application, and end user.

Breakup by Product:

  • Infant Nutrition
  • Parental Nutrition
  • Enteral Nutrition
     

Infant nutrition accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product. This includes infant nutrition, parental nutrition, and enteral nutrition. According to the report, infant nutrition represented the largest segment.

Infant nutrition addresses the dietary requirements of newborns and infants in the early stages of their development. Breast milk offers a special combination of nutrients, bioactive substances, and antibodies that promote healthy growth, development, and immune system function, which is crucial for an infant's nutrition. On the other hand, infant formula is an ideal substitute as it provides all vital nutrients like proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, and minerals that a child needs to grow and develop.

Breakup by Route of Administration:

  • Oral
  • Enteral
  • Parenteral
     

Oral holds the largest share of the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the route of administration have also been provided in the report. This includes oral, enteral, and parenteral. According to the report, oral accounted for the largest market share.

Oral nutritional items are dietary supplements, functional foods, over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, and oral nutritional supplements (ONS). They come in a variety of formats including liquids, powders, capsules, tablets, and bars, making them easily accessible and convenient for people with a range of dietary requirements. These products provide vital nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients to support general health, fulfill dietary needs, and treat particular nutritional deficiencies.

Breakup by Application:

  • Cancer
  • Malnutrition
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Gastrointestinal Disorders
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Others
     

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application. This includes cancer, malnutrition, metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, neurological disorders, and others.

Cancer and its treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery can significantly impact the nutritional status of a patient by causing appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, taste alterations, and metabolic changes. Malnutrition is prevalent among cancer patients, leading to compromised immune function, impaired wound healing, muscle wasting, and decreased quality of life. Clinical nutrition interventions for cancer patients focus on providing adequate energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fluids to support the nutritional status of patients.

Malnutrition encompasses various conditions characterized by inadequate intake or absorption of nutrients, leading to nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, muscle wasting, and impaired immune function. Malnutrition can result from underlying medical conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, chronic diseases, infections, trauma, or surgical procedures, as well as factors like aging, social isolation, and economic insecurity. Clinical nutrition interventions for malnutrition aim to address nutrient deficiencies, restore energy balance, promote weight gain, and improve overall nutritional status, thereby influencing the clinical nutrition market revenue.

Metabolic disorders are characterized by abnormalities in energy metabolism, hormone regulation, nutrient utilization, or enzyme function. Clinical nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing metabolic disorders by optimizing dietary patterns, controlling blood glucose levels, managing body weight, and reducing cardiovascular risk factors. Nutrition therapy for metabolic disorders emphasizes balanced macronutrient intake, portion control, carbohydrate counting, glycemic index management, and dietary fiber consumption to achieve glycemic control.

Breakup by End User:

  • Pediatric
  • Adults
  • Geriatric
     

Pediatric exhibits a clear dominance in the market 

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the end user have also been provided in the report. This includes pediatric, adults, and geriatric. According to the report, pediatric accounted for the largest market share.
