Enteral Feeding Formulas Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.46% Through 2031

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Increasing Aging Population are driving Global Enteral Feeding Formulas Market in the forecast period 2027-2031

According to TechSci Research report, “Enteral Feeding Formulas Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2031F”, the Global Enteral Feeding Formulas Market will grow from USD 6.85 Billion in 2025 to USD 9.97 Billion by 2031 at a 6.46% CAGR.

The global demographic landscape is shifting dramatically, with the aging population growing at an unprecedented pace. This demographic shift is intensifying demand for specialized healthcare solutions, particularly in clinical nutrition. Elderly individuals frequently encounter age-related challenges such as reduced appetite, swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), and impaired digestion, making it difficult to maintain adequate nutrient intake through conventional means. Enteral feeding formulas have emerged as a critical intervention, ensuring adequate nutrition for older adults who are unable to meet their dietary needs through normal food intake.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly—such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—has significantly heightened the need for enteral feeding support. Many of these conditions lead to difficulty in food intake or absorption, making enteral nutrition an essential component of patient care. Healthcare providers and caregivers are increasingly recognizing the importance of tailored nutritional support to prevent malnutrition, enhance recovery, and improve the overall quality of life for elderly individuals.

Advances in medical and nutritional sciences have led to the development of more sophisticated enteral feeding formulations designed to address both general and disease-specific nutritional needs. Manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to enhance product efficacy, improve digestibility, and incorporate additional health benefits beyond basic sustenance. Emerging formulations now include specialized ingredients that support immune function, promote wound healing, enhance gut microbiota, and assist in glycemic control for diabetic patients. The introduction of peptide-based and high-protein formulas has also gained traction, particularly for patients with compromised gastrointestinal function. Additionally, innovations in packaging, such as ready-to-use liquid formulations with extended shelf life, have enhanced product convenience and accessibility in both healthcare facilities and home care settings.

The increasing number of hospital admissions due to age-related illnesses has directly contributed to the rising demand for enteral feeding solutions. Hospitals and long-term care facilities rely on enteral nutrition to support patients undergoing treatment, surgery, or palliative care. Given the growing geriatric population, healthcare providers are prioritizing cost-effective, evidence-based nutritional interventions to prevent complications, reduce recovery times, and optimize patient outcomes. Home healthcare is also experiencing significant growth, as many older adults prefer or require care outside traditional hospital settings. The expansion of home-based enteral nutrition programs has increased demand for user-friendly, easily administered feeding solutions, further driving market growth.
