Market Driver

The global enteral feeding devices market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for wireless enteral feeding devices. These devices offer wireless connectivity, enabling them to communicate with various information systems, making them ideal for use in ambulatory and home care settings. Wireless enteral feeding devices ensure safe and accurate medication delivery to patients in pediatric ICUs and NICUs. The ability of these devices to interact with electronic medical records automates workflow, reduces treatment costs, and minimizes errors, easing the burden on nurses and physicians. Key players in the market are investing in the development of wireless enteral feeding devices. For instance, Fresenius Kabi launched a new application for wireless-enabled enteral pumps in April 2022. This application allows for remote data collection, enabling physicians to monitor feeding rates efficiently. Wireless enteral feeding devices are portable and easy to use, making them suitable for home care settings. Their ability to send data to different locations allows for continuous monitoring of feeding rates. The growing demand for wireless enteral feeding devices, coupled with the launch of new products by key vendors, is expected to drive the growth of the global enteral feeding devices market during the forecast period. 

The Enteral Feeding Devices market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, liver disease, motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s disease, and sepsis. Anorexia, cystic fibrosis, dementia, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes are also driving market demand. The geriatric population, with its increased need for balanced nutritional intake, is a key consumer group. Treatment responses in acute hospitals and community settings require enteral feeding tubes for patients with gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, severe pancreatitis, gastrointestinal diseases, and surgical trauma ICUs. Tri-funnel replacement G-tubes and J-tubes are popular choices. NCBI studies indicate enteral feeding devices are effective for chronic illnesses like Parkinson’s, nervous system disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. The market is expected to continue growing as healthcare provision adapts to meet the needs of an aging population and diverse patient base.

Market Challenges

• The medical equipment industry experiences product recalls due to safety or functionality concerns. These recalls require manufacturers to check, adjust, or fix devices to prevent unexpected failures or violations of regulatory guidelines. For instance, in February 2024, Cardinal Health announced a recall of their Monoject syringes, including their enteral feeding syringes with ENFit connection. The FDA classified this as a Class I recall due to potential serious injuries or deaths. Product recalls can stem from various reasons, such as design errors, software glitches, or manufacturing defects. Such incidents negatively impact the financial performance and growth of the healthcare equipment industry, including the global enteral feeding devices market, during the forecast period.
• The Enteral Feeding Devices market faces several challenges in the areas of central nervous system disorders, parenteral nutrition, and enteral nutrition. Complications from enteral feeding pumps and tubes are common, especially in pediatric and neonatal patients with genetic disorders like Prader-Willi Syndrome and rare genetic diseases. Swallowing, suckling, breathing, and bolus delivery issues can lead to morbidity and increased healthcare costs. Enteral feeding tubes are used in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum, which require endoscopy, laparoscopy, or open surgery for insertion. Long-term enteral support for adult patients and clinical problems related to cancer treatment present significant opportunities for market growth. Reimbursement policies, adoption, and third-party payer coverage are key factors influencing market trends. Federal funding and home healthcare services also play a role in the market’s development. Enterostomy feeding tubes for abdominal wall use are another segment of the market.

1.1 Hospitals-  Enteral feeding devices play a vital role in hospitals, particularly for patients in ICUs, surgical wards, and specialized units. These patients, often due to medical conditions or the need for close monitoring, cannot ingest food orally and require nutritional support. The increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses like cancer, neurological disorders, and gastrointestinal diseases has led to more hospitalized patients needing nutritional support. Enteral feeding devices are essential for elderly patients, who often have compromised nutritional intake during hospitalization. Technological advancements have improved these devices, offering better control over feeding rates and precision in delivering nutrients and medications. Enteral feeding is generally less invasive than parenteral nutrition methods, reducing infection risks and complications. Efficient use of enteral feeding devices can potentially decrease hospital stays and invasive interventions, leading to cost savings for healthcare facilities and patients. The global aging population and the rise in chronic illnesses are key factors driving the growth of the hospitals segment of the global enteral feeding devices market.
