Adult Clinical Oral Nutrition Market Size

Adult Clinical Oral Nutrition Market size crossed USD 8 billion in 2022 and is poised to depict over 5% CAGR through 2023-2032, on account of the growing burden of chronic diseases.
 

With the mounting prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as malnutrition and obesity, the rate of prolonged hospitalization is increasing globally. Based on study data from Baxter International, approximately 2 million hospital stays involve malnutrition in the U.S. Such factors will boost the acceptance of oral nutritional therapy as a safe and effective way to fight adult malnutrition. Likewise, the burden of chronic and metabolic disorders has risen across the globe, further increasing demand for the therapy.
 

Additionally, according to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2021, over 537 million adults were diagnosed with diabetes in middle- and low-income countries. The requirement for malnutrition management among hospitalized patients with diabetes will therefore surge and in turn, strengthen the industry outlook. However, the introduction of stringent regulatory frameworks associated with product efficacy and labeling may restrict the development of adult oral nutrition support solutions to some extent over the forecast period.
 

Adult Clinical Oral Nutrition Market Analysis

In addition, milk-based clinical nutrition has emerged as an efficient dietary option for obesity treatment in adult patients. According to the U.S. Dairy Export Council, these dairy proteins consist of several nutrients required to treat cancer and gastrointestinal diseases, in turn contributing to product consumption across the healthcare sector.
 

Based on the therapeutic area, the adult clinical oral nutrition market size from the malnutrition segment is set to be valued at more than USD 4 billion by 2032. The increasing knowledge about the benefits of varied oral nutrition types in the precise management of nutrient imbalance or impaired nutrient utilization is a major growth driver for the adult clinical oral nutrition industry. Such factors will augment the need for efficient nutritional supplements to boost immunity and consequently, create lucrative opportunities for adult oral clinical nutrition product development.
 

Adult clinical oral nutrition market from the liquid form segment will be worth over USD 5.5 billion by 2032, due to the growing cases of protein deficiency. Based on estimates from the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, almost 1 billion people across the globe have inadequate protein intake. As a result, the consumption of ready-to-drink protein supplements is like to rise. Furthermore, liquid supplements are gaining massive momentum among patients who have undergone major surgeries. The introduction of surgical quality improvement programs in hospitals will therefore boost the intake of liquid nutritional supplements.
 

The brick-and-mortar sales channel segment accounted for a substantial share of the adult clinical oral nutrition market in 2022, given the better inventory options and no shipping costs, among other benefits. The introduction of pharmacy chain expansion projects has also increased in emerging nations. For example, in January 2023, Reliance Retail unveiled plans to open over 2,000 standalone pharmacy stores within one year. Such initiatives, alongside the delivery of personalized nutrition plans by in-store dietitians, will encourage patients to opt for clinical oral nutrition therapies from brick-and-mortar stores.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

Malnutrition has become an imminent urban challenge and was further intensified by the COVID-19 outbreak. This growing burden of malnutrition is mainly due to the rising food prices and the declining income in the aftermath of the pandemic. In middle- and low-income countries, for example, COVID-19-induced food insecurity has significantly impacted the urban poor population.
