 A clinical nutrition product is a form of medicine that helps a patient's health. It aids in improving the metabolic system by providing required supplements such as minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. Clinical nutrition is concerned with diagnosing and treating illnesses that affect food intake, intestinal absorption, and metabolism and promoting health by preventing diet-related diseases. It is employed in various contexts, including cardiac rehabilitation, renal dialysis, diabetes, pediatrics, nutrition support, cancer, trauma, wellness centers, and community-based intervention programs.

The demand for clinical nutrition is increasing as chronic and lifestyle-related diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes mellitus rise. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population and government R&D investments in the healthcare sector also contribute to market growth. Advances in clinical nutrition are also increasing. Additionally, rising demand for clinical nutrition in emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America, as well as an increase in the use of nutritional products in-home care, will likely provide attractive prospects for global clinical nutrition participants.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising Incidences of Chronic and Lifestyle-Associated Disease

The growing prevalence of chronic and life-associated diseases drives the growth of the market in clinical nutrition. According to the WHO, 60% of related factors to individual health and quality of life are correlated to lifestyle, and millions of people follow an unhealthy lifestyle. Problems like metabolic diseases, joint and skeletal issues, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, overweight, and violence can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Several other disorders require clinical nutrition care, such as anorexia, cachexia, food allergy, and intolerance of disaccharides. Individuals suffering from these syndromes often have nutritional deficiency problems. In recent years, a significant rise in the incidence rate of nutritional problems has been witnessed across the globe. For example, according to the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, around 150,000 infants and hospitalized patients receive nutrition support annually in the US.

Furthermore, chronic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as peptic ulcers, food allergy, constipation, diverticulosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and colon cancer commonly result in malnutrition and morbidity. This will boost the market for clinical nutrition. According to the WHO, four of every ten adults worldwide suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders of varying severity. A rise in the number of nutrition-related diseases globally is anticipated to drive the market for clinical nutrition in the near future.

Growing Geriatric Population

The growing geriatric population globally is driving the growth of the global market of clinical nutrition. As with age, people become less active, their metabolism slows, and their energy requirement decreases because older adults' ability to absorb and utilize nutrients becomes less efficient. Therefore, their nutrient requirements increase. According to the WHO, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% in 2015 to 22% in 2050.

Furthermore, as per the World Aging Population report, there will be approximately 727 million people aged 65 and above, many of whom are susceptible to chronic diseases and digestive problems, necessitating surgery. For example, in July 2020, Goodmills Innovation released "Spermidino EVO," wheat germ extracts designed to improve immunity in the elderly population. As a result, the market of clinical nutrition is likely to rise in the near future amid the growing older population and the development of clinical nutrition products tailored to the needs of the elderly.

Restraint

Lack of Awareness for Clinical Nutrition

Though the surge in demand for clinical nutrition is on the rise, a lack of awareness regarding healthcare and diet has been witnessed. Individuals are unaware of the availability of clinical nutrition, and this lack of understanding can be noticed in developed and developing countries. Deficiencies and disorders are seen mainly because of a lack of the proper knowledge of vitamins and nutrition and the availability of wrong information. Unfortunately, education and direct support for health and hygiene are not up to the required level. Therefore, many campaigns have been conducted to promote awareness regarding the clinical nutrition benefits for different diseases. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding clinical nutrition for various illnesses. Consequently, this lack of awareness of clinical nutrition is anticipated to hamper the market.

Opportunities

Underlying Growth Opportunities in Emerging Economies

The emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions offer lucrative growth opportunities for the clinical nutrition due to improved healthcare infrastructure and increased demand for better healthcare. In addition, the rise in the incidence of various lifestyle and chronic diseases that develop a problem of malnutrition and dietary issues and grow in the research required for the development of medical devices for clinical nutrition of various illnesses such as respiratory, renal, and cancer, have boosted the demand for the clinical nutrition market.

Furthermore, an increase in the geriatric population with a lack of nutrition is driving the growth of the market for clinical nutrition. According to the Global Data article, in 2020, Asia-Pacific accounted for the maximum number of older adults, roughly 226 million. Additionally, the surge in healthcare reforms in developing nations is anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for market expansion. An increase in healthcare and R&D investments in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil also boosts the market growth.
