Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is propelled by the rising geriatric population and the prevalence of chronic illnesses like diabetes, severe pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal diseases. Patients in surgical trauma ICUs benefit from specialized devices like tri-funnel replacement G-tubes and J-tubes. Research from NCBI highlights the importance of enteral feeding in managing conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. Enteral feeding pumps and tubes play a crucial role in delivering parenteral and enteral nutrition to patients, reducing complications. Additionally, advancements in enteral feeding devices cater to pediatric and neonatal patients, addressing neonatal mortality and morbidity associated with preterm births and genetic disorders. There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. 

Key Market Drivers

One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions and preterm birth.  There is a growing prevalence of chronic conditions, such as cancers neurological conditions, and preterm births across the globe which is fuelling the adoption of devices. In addition, there is an increasing prevalence of oral cancer which develops on the tongue, oral mucosa, mouth, and oropharynx (area of the throat at the back of the mouth).

Moreover, smoking and frequent consumption of alcohol are some of the major factors attributed to the growth of oral cancer. For instance, in the US, in 2023, approximately 54,540 new total cases of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers and 11,580 deaths from oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancers. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth and trends during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

A key factor shaping the market is the growing advancements in devices. Enteral feeding devices comprise smart pump technology with features such as dose accuracy, flow rate control, and alarm systems. The main advantage of these pumps is that they can also wirelessly connect to healthcare provider systems for real-time monitoring and data exchange, thereby ensuring precise delivery and minimizing the risk of errors.

Moreover, one of the main advancements includes devices with built-in technologies to verify proper tube placement thereby helping in preventing misplacements and reducing the risk of complications like aspiration. Hence, such factors are expected to positively impact the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

Frequent product recalls are one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. There has been a significant increase in frequent product recalls in the medical equipment industry due to safety or functionality issues. Therefore, the medical equipment needs to be checked, adjusted, or fixed to ensure that it does not fail unexpectedly or violate regulatory guidelines.

Moreover, recalls are done by medical equipment manufacturers to inspect and repair them so that they do not cause serious health issues in patients. For instance, in May 2022, the US FDA recalled the Cortrak*2 enteral access system for the risk of misplaced enteral tubes manufactured by Avanos Medical. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market which in turn will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
