For instance, in October 2020, Nestle Health Science launched protein-based ready-to-drink nutritional food in China for special medical purposes (FSMPs). The main component of that drink is a galactomannan, a highly soluble dietary fiber, which can improve and prevent gastrointestinal intolerance and diarrhea. In addition, in June 2018, VAYA Pharma, Inc. introduced Vayarin Plus, an extra-strength formula, and expanded its medical food product offerings, which offer clinical dietary management for ADHD adults weighing more than 97 lbs and in adolescents.
In addition, increasing consideration of medical foods to manage and control diabetic neuropathy and diabetes is expected to accelerate the market growth. Diabetes is one of the major chronic diseases and the prevalence has been constantly rising. According to the WHO data published in 2019, approximately 1.5 million deaths are caused directly due to diabetes and it was considered to be the ninth leading cause of death. An unhealthy lifestyle and diet are the leading causes of diabetic neuropathy and medical foods act as a remedy to improve and manage these kinds of disorders. For instance, as per the International Diabetic Federation data in 2019, about 463 million adults are living with diabetes and this number will rise to 700 million by 2045.
Several industry consolidation activities by the manufacturers in the clinical nutrition industry are also expected to propel the market growth over the forecast years. Activities by the manufacturers such as acquisitions, mergers, product launches, and partnerships to enhance their product reach are expected to propel market growth over the coming years. For instance, in January 2020, Nestle entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to expand its business of clinical nutrition by acquiring Zenpen.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic is boosting the growth of the market and is projected to support the growth in the coming years. For instance, as per an article published in 2020 in The House, medical foods are expected to play a significant role in the recovery and rehabilitation process of patients suffering from the disease. Moreover, owing to the rising burden on critical care services due to the pandemic, the demand for nutritional support and dietetic care is rising, thereby propelling the market growth, penetration, and adoption of medical foods. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic is projected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
