India Enteral Feeding Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

India Enteral Feeding Devices Market Analysis

The India Enteral Feeding Devices Market size is estimated at USD 389.54 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 539.99 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.75% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the enteral feeding devices market in India. People with COVID-19 who are very ill may have decreased nutrient absorption since the normal intestinal mucosa has been disturbed in these patients. Immediate enteral nutrition support and the provision of sufficient nutrients are essential to preventing malnutrition in these patients.

• According to the report published by the MoHFW, India, in 2022, under the management of shock caused by COVID-19 in children and adolescents (below 18 years), enteral nutrition (EN) should be initiated in ventilated and intubated ICU patients via a nasogastric tube. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for enteral feeding devices. Currently, COVID-19 cases are relatively fewer and continuing in India; it is expected to have a significant impact on the enteral feeding devices market over the coming period.
• The major factors responsible for the growth of the Indian enteral feeding devices market include the growing geriatric population, an increase in the premature birth rate, an increasing adoption of enteral nutrition, and the high prevalence of chronic diseases.
• Enteral nutrition (EN) is most commonly required for chronic diseases like neurological conditions that impair swallow function, such as stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Hence the increase in the prevalence of neurological diseases may have a significant impact on the growth of the market.
• For instance, as per the report published by the Lancet Global Health in July 2021, the largest contributors to the total neurological disorder disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in India were stroke (379%), headache disorders (175%), epilepsy (113%), cerebral palsy (57%), and encephalitis (53%). Hence, the burden of chronic diseases is growing in India. Chronic patients, who are incapable of taking food, require a good supply of nutrition through enteral feeding, which augments the demand for enteral feeding devices. Therefore, the high prevalence of chronic diseases in India is projected to drive the growth of the market studied over the forecast period.
• However, complications associated with enteral feeding tubes are the major factors restraining the market's growth.

India Enteral Feeding Devices Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of this report, enteral feeding devices refer to the delivery of a nutrient-enriched feed containing proteins, carbohydrates, fats, water, minerals, and vitamins, directly into the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum. It is used for people with functional gastrointestinal (GI) tract who are not able to ingest foods orally to meet their nutrient demands. The Indian enteral feeding devices market is segmented by product (enteral feeding pump, enteral feeding tube, and other devices), age group (adult and pediatric), end user (hospital, ambulatory care service, and other end users), and application (oncology, gastroenterology, diabetes, neurological disorder, hypermetabolism, and other applications). The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
