Enteral Feeding Pumps Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Enteral Feeding Pumps, Enteral Feeding Tubes, and Others), By Age Group (Adults and Pediatrics), By End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Care Services, and Others), By Indication (Oncology, Neurology, Critical Care, Diabetes, Gastroenterology, and Others), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA), and Forecast to 2030

Enteral feeding pumps market size was valued at US$ 4.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030 to reach US$ 6.5 billion in 2030.  The enteral feeding pumps market refers to the market segment that deals with devices used for administering nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract of patients who cannot consume food orally.

These pumps are designed to deliver liquid nutrition, medications, or fluids directly into the stomach or intestines via a feeding tube. The enteral feeding pumps market is experiencing consistent growth, expected to persist through the forecast period. This trend is driven by escalating rates of chronic diseases, a growing elderly demographic, rising occurrences of preterm births, and heightened incidences of malnutrition among pregnant women.

Conditions such as malnutrition, dysphagia, and eating disorders are particularly prevalent in older individuals and are also commonly observed in hospital environments. Innovative technological developments like tri-funnel replacement G-tubes and J-tubes featuring reverse balloon designs are anticipated to contribute significantly to market expansion in the upcoming forecast period.

However, the limited awareness and knowledge about enteral nutrition within the medical community are expected to hinder its adoption. Enteral nutrition requires prescription and oversight from healthcare professionals. Despite increasing acceptance, there remains insufficient understanding among patients, physicians, and pharmacists. This lack of understanding discourages doctors from recommending or prescribing enteral nutrition, potentially restraining market expansion.

Enteral Feeding Pumps Market Key Developments

• In September 2023, Cardinal Health launched the Kangaroo OMNI enteral feeding pump, intended to give patients undergoing enteral feeding more options to suit their individual needs throughout their enteral feeding journey.
• In August 2023, Cardinal Health launched its next-generation NTrainerTM System 2.0, a medical device intended to shorten the length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for premature and newborn infants by assisting them in developing the oral coordination skills necessary for the transition to independent feeding more quickly. The NTrainerTM System gives parents confidence in their newborns' progress and potential for success after discharge by giving clinicians the objective data they need to monitor an infant's development of pre-feeding skills through real-time assessment technology.
