Dublin, March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Medical Foods Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Route of Administration, Product (Powder, Pills, Liquid, Other), Application, Sales Channel, Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2024-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global medical foods market is anticipated to reach USD 33.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.1%

Rising geriatric population, prevalence of chronic diseases, a shift toward consuming disease-specific formulas, and a growing demand for neonatal and preterm enteral feeding are some of the factors driving this growth.



The oral route of the administration segment dominated the market in 2023. The major factors contributing to this growth include a high preference for oral medical foods owing to the ease of consumption and high commercial viability of products administered orally. In addition, these foods are available in a variety of forms such as pills, powder, puddings, and pre-thickened products, thereby fueling the segment's growth.

In 2023, the powder product segment accounted for the largest revenue share. Factors contributing to the growth include the rising application areas of powdered medical foods, ease of administration, and higher commercial viability. The liquid segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030, owing to the ease of consumption of liquid-based foods for special medical purposes by the pediatric and geriatric population.

The chemotherapy-induced diarrhea emerged as the largest application segment in 2023. Diarrhea caused by chemotherapy treatment is one of the common problems among cancer patients and the rising prevalence of cancer is one of the major reasons for this increasing the revenue share. For instance, according to the National Cancer Institute statistics, about half of the patients develop diarrhea when treated with chemotherapy agents and the rate can reach 80% with respect to certain chemotherapy agents.

The institutional sales channel segment dominated the market in 2023. Higher penetration and adoption of oral and enteral medical foods in the healthcare institutions such as clinics, hospitals, and care centers and the rising consumption of these products are some of the major factors contributing to the large revenue share. In addition, the rising demand for such products in inpatient facilities and increasing adoption for such products are boosting the market growth.

North America dominated the market with a revenue share of approximately 30% in 2023.. The presence of major players and high revenue generated by them in the region are the key factors contributing to this growth. In addition, strategic developments, the growing prevalence of chronic conditions, and the increasing adoption of medical foods by patients and healthcare professionals are the other factors supporting the growth.
