The enteral feeding devices market is projected to reach USD 2.80 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. Rising geriatric population; growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, neurological disorders, and hypermetabolism; and increasing number of preterm births are expected to fuel the growth of this market in the coming years. Several manufacturers in the enteral feeding devices industry are increasingly adopting patient safety techniques, such as unique connection systems, to avoid misconnection of feeding tubes. These players also have a major focus on user friendly features, such as portable feeding pumps, programming options, programmable flushing intervals, multiple languages, occlusion pressure alarm options, history of previous feed rates, and screen and program lock-out features to prevent manipulation. This trend is expected to promote the greater uptake of technologically advanced enteral feeding devices in the global clinical nutrition industry.
