Overview of the enteral feeding bags market
Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global enteral feeding bags market will witness steady growth and post a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period. With a rise in premature births, the global enteral feeding bags market is anticipated to have a positive outlook in the coming years. According to WHO statistics of November 2015, every year nearly 15 million babies are born before the completion of 37 weeks of pregnancy, and about 1 million infants die annually because of complications arising from preterm births. Due to the increasing maternal age and underlying maternal health problems like diabetes and hypertension, increased infertility treatments, and changes in obstetric practices like more C-section births before term, the instances of premature births have increased. Feeding intolerance is a common complication seen in preterm births, and these infants are unable to control and coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing. They require life support and critical care, which will translate into the demand for enteral feeding bags in the coming years.
One of the recent trends spurring this market’s growth is the increasing shift from parenteral to enteral-based nutrition therapy. Parenteral nutrition is administered through veins, wherein the risk of infection due to needle stick injuries is high. As a result, the preference for enteral nutrition is high among patients as the nutrients are rendered directly to the GI tract. Moreover, in enteral feeding, nutrition or medications can be delivered directly into the intestine or stomach. Also, this device can be used to speed specialized diet to bedridden and older patients with chronic ailments such as cancer, inherit metabolic diseases, and neurological disorders. Therefore, with healthcare specialists preferring enteral nutrition to parenteral nutrition, the market will witness an augmented demand for enteral feeding bags during the estimated period.
