COVID-19 Analysis

In general, the COVID-19 outbreak and the strict lockdown worldwide have been unfavorable for various industries. The novel coronavirus, however, has boosted the growth of the clinical nutrition market. Patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 are dealing with nutrition deficiency, which necessitates the use of clinical nutrition products.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Escalation in Chronic Disease Cases to Foster Growth

Escalating number of individuals worldwide afflicted with chronic ailments like diabetes and cancer combined with the considerable growth in the geriatric populace will foster the clinical nutrition market’s growth over the years to come. The surge in chronic disorders has induced the need for clinical nutrition prescriptions since those suffering from the said conditions have limited essential nutrients.

Furthermore, the burgeoning obese population base in view of unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise can propel market growth. Elderly people generally lose their appetite or have digestive issues, which boosts the need for nutrient administration via enteral or parenteral route. This factor is anticipated to favor the global market in the ensuing years. Additionally, the significant increase in premature birth and in general, the significant birth rate across the globe could also benefit the global market. Given the rising awareness and well-equipped facilities, there has been a decline in premature death rates, which again induces substantial market growth.

Opportunities

Pediatric Nutrition Category to Emerge as a Huge Opportunity

In the pediatric nutrition category, heightened requirement for clinical nutrition has emerged as a huge opportunity for top players. Other than this, the rising preference for home healthcare and the increased demand for related nutritional products could also create favorable opportunities for the leading vendors in the near future.

The Japanese market is in the lead thanks to the burgeoning elderly population base and the accelerated cases of chronic disorders such as cancer and diabetes mellitus owing to dietary changes.

Over the years, the demand for home healthcare has risen significantly, in view of the expanding geriatric population, which is expected to be a primary growth booster in the following years.
