What’s driving the global enteral feeding devices market?

One key trend is the rising demand for wireless enteral feeding devices.

An increased prevalence of chronic conditions and preterm births is driving the enteral feeding devices sector to grow by $1.5b until 2028 at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.78%, Technavio revealed.

“Anorexia, cystic fibrosis, dementia, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes are also driving market demand,” the report said.

The market is also being driven by a rising demand for wireless enteral feeding devices.

These devices, which offer wireless connectivity, are becoming increasingly prevalent in ambulatory and home care settings due to their ability to communicate with various information systems.

This connectivity allows for safer and more accurate medication delivery, particularly in paediatric intensive care units (ICUs) and NICUs. 

Moreover, the devices can interact with electronic medical records, which streamlines workflows, reduces treatment costs, and minimises errors, easing the workload for healthcare professionals.
