The global feeding tubes market size is expected to reach US$ 9.69 billion by 2030, from US$ 6.34 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Feeding tubes are medical devices used to provide nutrition or medicines directly into the stomach or intestines of patients who cannot swallow food normally. The tubes allow nutrients, fluids, and medications to be delivered directly into the gastrointestinal tract. Feeding tubes are inserted through the nose, mouth, or directly through the abdomen. They are commonly used in hospitals, nursing homes, and for home care patients.
The key advantages of feeding tubes are that they can provide complete balanced nutrition, ensure patients receive required medications, and prevent aspiration in patients with swallowing difficulties. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders is driving the demand for feeding tubes globally.
The global feeding tubes market is segmented by product type, age group, application, end user, material type, and region. By product type, the market is segmented into nasogastric tubes, gastrostomy tubes, jejunostomy tubes, and others. Nasogastric tubes held the largest share in 2022 due to their common use for short-term feeding in hospitals.
Global Feeding Tubes Market Drivers:
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and conditions: The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and conditions leading to dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing is a major factor driving the feeding tubes market growth. Chronic diseases like stroke, cancer, neurological disorders, trauma, and injuries can impair the swallowing process, increasing risks of aspiration and malnutrition. Feeding tubes provide an alternate route for providing nutrition in such patients. Feeding tubes play a crucial role in providing nutrition in post-stroke dysphagia patients. Their use has increased in conditions like head-neck cancers and dementia as well where impaired swallowing can lead to unwanted weight loss. For instance, according to an article published by the World Health Organization (WHO), 2022, worldwide risk of cancer is increasing. The most common cancers in 2020 were:
Strong focus on Technological Advancements: Technological advancements in feeding tubes by the market players is expected to fuel the growth of the global feeding tubes market over the forecast period. For instance, in July 2023, Cook, a medical devices manufacturing company, launched its new Entuit Thrive Balloon Retention Gastrostomy Feeding Tube in the U.S. The new Entuit enteral feeding product line, which includes a full range of items for both gastrostomy and gastropexy procedures, includes a feeding tube.
