Customize this Report. According to a recent research by Focus Reports, the global enteral nutrition market is projected to grow from USD 20.88 billion in 2024 to USD 30.96 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.78% during the forecast period. Looking for More Information? Click: Report Scope: Market Size (2030): USD 30.96 Billion Market Size (2024): USD 20.88 Billion CAGR (2024-2030): 6.78% Historic Year:2021-2023 Base Year: 2024 Forecast Year: 2025-2030 Largest Region (2024): Asia Pacific Market Segmentation: Feeding Method, Patient Group, Indication, End-User, and Geography Geographic Analysis: North America, Europe, APAC, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa The global enteral nutrition market is evolving rapidly, driven by the development of more advanced, unique, and organic formulas, rising developments in enteral nutrition (EN) deliveries, and rising coverage and reimbursement in developed markets. The market is growing at a steady pace, and this trend is likely to continue during the forecast period due to the increasing prevalence of various chronic diseases, the rising elderly population, the increasing incidence of preterm births, and the growing incidence of malnutrition in pregnant women. Innovation in Enteral Nutrition: Safer, Smarter, and More Personalized Delivery Enteral nutrition is undergoing a technological transformation, particularly in tube feeding methods where safety and efficiency are critical. One major advancement is the adoption of closed system feeding, which minimizes exposure to contaminants, thereby reducing infection risk and improving medication administration accuracy. These systems are particularly beneficial for patients with multiple health issues, helping prevent dosing errors and accidental disconnections. Additionally, innovations like Hoist Medical's ENFit Connector further enhance safety by reducing the risk of misconnections between medical devices, supporting greater customization in enteral nutrition therapies and unlocking new revenue opportunities in the healthcare sector. Rising Demand for Enteral Nutrition Signals Market Expansion Opportunities The artificial nutrition landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by a surge in chronic diseases, malnutrition, and dysphagia-related cases creating a noticeable shift in clinical practice and patient preference. There has been a clear move toward enteral nutrition particularly tube feeding as the preferred method when the gastrointestinal tract is functional. Medical consensus strongly supports this approach, citing its physiological benefits, ease of administration, and fewer complications compared to parenteral nutrition. A 2023 report from the National Library of Medicine reinforces this trend, highlighting the preference for enteral feeding due to reduced risks of infection and blood clots, along with overall ease of care. Continuous improvements in tube feeding systems focused on safety, accessibility, and application versatility are expanding the definition of a 'functioning gut,' enabling more patients to benefit from enteral support than ever before. Recent Enteral Nutrition Market News In March 2025, Nutrisens Group, one of the emerging companies in clinical nutrition, aims to expand its presence in Latin America with the acquisition of Brazilian Prediet Medical Nutrition, which manufactures oral and enteral nutrition products in a range of forms, including powder, liquid, and tube feeding. This acquisition will strengthen Nutrisens' portfolio as well as regional market penetration. In 2024, Danone, one of the leading market players in the enteral nutrition market, acquired Functional Formularies, a leading whole food tube feeding business in the US. This acquisition is strengthening Danone's Medical Nutrition portfolio by further expanding its tube feeding (enteral nutrition) portfolio. Oncology Segment Dominates Enteral Nutrition Market Amid Rising Cancer Burden The oncology segment leads the global enteral nutrition market, driven by the escalating burden of cancer and its strong correlation with malnutrition. As cancer cases continue to rise globally, so does the need for targeted nutritional support. The Nutrition Journal (2024) highlights that a significant share of cancer patients are at high risk of severe malnutrition a concern echoed by the Oncotarget Journal (2022), which reported that one in three cancer patients in European hospitals are malnourished and often rely on nutritional therapy. Further reinforcing this trend, The World Health Organization's 2024 report, global cancer cases are projected to rise dramatically by 2050, underscoring the urgency of supportive care strategies. Malnutrition among cancer patients is frequently driven by tumor-related complications and the side effects of aggressive treatments. As a result, enteral nutrition has become a critical component of comprehensive oncology care. Its usage is particularly prevalent among patients with gastric, esophageal, and head and neck cancers, where the ability to maintain oral intake is often compromised. This growing clinical demand continues to position oncology as a dominant force shaping the future of the enteral nutrition market. Asia's Nutrition Shift: APAC Takes the Lead in Enteral Nutrition Market APAC is the most dominant region for the global enteral nutrition market, accounting for around 41% of the share. In the APAC region, the demand for enteral nutrition (EN) therapies is driven by a large and diverse target patient population. This includes the growing geriatric population with chronic diseases, pediatric patients with low birth weight or malnutrition, and critically ill individuals suffering from accidental or physical injuries, all of whom contribute significantly to the rising need for EN therapies. China and India are among the leading countries in APAC with a substantial target patient base. Meanwhile, Japan also shows considerable demand for enteral nutrition due to broad healthcare access and higher spending on related services and solutions. Home enteral nutrition (HEN) delivery is gaining popularity in several APAC countries. Australia has demonstrated strong support through healthcare infrastructure and funding for HEN services. In Japan, the National Health Insurance program offers comprehensive coverage for home-based EN services. In India, both public and private health insurance policies cover portions of HEN services and products. These supportive factors are contributing to the increasing demand for enteral nutrition in home care settings across the region.

LHSC alleges fraud cost hospital $60 million— expert suggests what might have gone wrong
Allegations of a decade-long fraud contained in a pair of lawsuits filed by the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) have many Londoners questioning why concerns didn't come to light sooner. During the period in question (2013-2024), the hospital's leadership structure included a CEO and team of executives overseen by a Board of Directors. Western University political scientist Martin Horak believes governance issues at public institutions often have a common solution, 'The remedies to that really are transparency and accountability.' 'There's often a tendency in big bureaucracies to accumulate power or accumulate resources, and that can create an environment where governance can go wrong,' Horak adds. 'Situations where people can begin, and the organization can begin pursuing their own interests.' In a statement of claim, LHSC is first seeking $50 million in damages, plus an additional $1.5 million in punitive damages, against former executive Dipesh Patel, Derek Lall and Neel Modi, as well as director of BH Contractors Paresh Soni and construction firms BH Contractors and GBI Construction. The hospital alleges the group conspired to manipulate procurement processes, submit fraudulent documents, inflate invoices and improperly award contracts to companies with undisclosed conflicts of interest; actions LHSC believes amount to civil fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. In their second statement of claim, London Health Sciences Centre is also suing three former executives and a consulting firm for $10 million, alleging they ignored or concealed evidence of fraud that may have cost the hospital millions of dollars. LHSC filed a statement of claim in Ontario Superior Court, accusing former CEO Jackie Schleifer Taylor, former CFO Abhijeet Mukherjee, former executive Bradley Campbell and consulting firm Corpus Sanchez International, of breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and willful misconduct. None of the allegations made in the statements of claim have been tested in court, however, public reaction suggests a potential impact on the level of trust Londoners will place in future hospital governance. 'When trust is undermined, it does take a while for it to be restored. It's a complicated process,' admits Horak. In September 2024, the entire LHSC Board of Directors voluntarily resigned. Provincially-appointed Supervisor David Musyj is temporarily leading the hospital and reporting directly to Ontario's Health Minister. Horak warns against over-tightening rules in response to a governance shortfall. He says other public institutions have responded by implementing overly complex, time consuming and costly processes that ultimately hinder an organization long into the future. 'It's not so much about keeping organizations like that on a tight leash, it's about making sure that those organizations are open and transparent about what they're doing and how they're doing it.' Statements of Defence have not yet been filed by any of the individuals being sued by LHSC.
