Medical Nutrition Market Revenue

1. Medical Nutrition Market is expected to grow from 841 Mn in 2013 to more than 2 Bn in 2050 Transparency Market Research (TMR) delivers key insights on the global Medical Nutrition market in its upcoming outlook titled, “Medical Nutrition Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018-2027”. In terms of value, the global medical nutrition market is projected to register a healthy CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period due to various factors, regarding which TMR offers vital insights in detail. The increasing aging population is now recognized as a global issue of importance. Changes in lifestyle have resulted in rapid aging amongst the population, increasing the prevalence of various diseases. The total aging population (over 65 years) recorded substantial growth in the past few decades - from 9.2% in 1990 to 11.7% in 2013. The number of older individuals is expected to grow from 841 Mn in 2013 to more than 2 Bn in 2050, as per the World Population Report. Request A Sample - https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_i d=1704 Increasing Adoption of Home Parenteral Medical Nutrition Therapies Around two-thirds of general and acute hospital beds are used by the geriatric population aged over 65 years, and people over 75 years old have longer stays. The burden of the geriatric population influences the demand and supply of nutritional food to this population and is a major contributor to the medical nutrition market. The prevalence of malnutrition in Europe and North America is 1-15% in non- institutionalized elder population, 25-60% for older adults in geriatric care facilities, and 35-60% in older adults in hospitals according medical research sources. The rising use of home parenteral medical nutrition therapy by the geriatric population with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and AIDS is anticipated to boost market growth. Furthermore, the geriatric population is more prone to diseases such as nervous disorders, Parkinson’s, diabetes, and organ system failure. Such patients suffer from restrictive food ingestion, and require parenteral medical nutrition feeding to maintain their nutritional levels. Parenteral medical nutrition administration demands regular assessment and monitoring in order to avoid complications or side effects. Inappropriate usage of this medical nutrition maximizes the potential risk of adverse events such as re-feeding syndrome, particulate contamination, catheter infections, and liver dysfunction for the patients undergoing the medical nutrition therapy. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a grave complication among patients and requires frequent and expensive parenteral medical nutrition therapy.

2. An article published by the American Society for Nutrition in 2014 also indicated that, long-term parenteral medical nutrition therapy significantly increases the risk of liver disease and metabolic complications in patients. Another study published by the University Health Network also states about the complications arising in the home parenteral medical nutrition therapy while treating the metabolic bone disease in patients. Moreover, problems such as allergic reactions, shortness of breath, unexplained weight gain, muscle pain, weakness, and loss of appetite are more common among patients undergoing parenteral medical nutrition therapy. These complications/side-effects are expected to restrain the medical nutrition market growth.
