Europe Enteral Feeding Devices Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the European enteral feeding devices market was worth USD 0.65 billion in 2023. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.24% and be worth USD 0.84 billion by 2028.

Enteral feeding devices are essential for people suffering from medical ailments such as swallowing disorders, digestive disorders, neurological disorders, cancer, and others.

The growing aging population suffering from chronic diseases majorly drives the European enteral feeding devices market growth. The prevalence of neurological disorders, stroke, and diabetes is significantly high among the European population, and the numbers are projected to rise in the foreseeable future. As per the World Economic Forum, an estimated 30% of the European population is expected to be aged 65 years by 2100. The growing incidence of chronic diseases can be attributed to the adoption of unhealthy diets, increased consumption of alcohol and tobacco, lack of physical activity, and other factors. Moreover, advancing age is often accompanied by progressive dementia disorder, leading to difficulties in swallowing, reduced nutritional intake, and changes in appetite functioning and apraxia. Therefore, enter feeding devices are becoming increasingly essential to aid in the recovery of these individuals.

The rising incidence of premature births in Europe further boosts the growth rate of the European enteral feeding devices market. In Europe, around 500,000 babies are born prematurely yearly, primarily due to maternal obesity and diabetes and other complications. These premature infants have low birth weights and underdeveloped internal organs, necessitating the use of enteral feeding devices to provide essential nutrients for optimal growth and development. These devices are typically inserted through the mouth or nose to ensure adequate nutrition for the infant's well-being and to prevent future complications.

The growing incidence of head and neck cancer in the European region accelerates the growth of the Europe enteral feeding devices market. Patients undergoing chemotherapy for head and neck cancer often experience malnutrition due to the treatment's adverse effects, such as loss of taste, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. In such cases, enteral tube feeding provides the necessary nutrients to aid in the patient's recovery and combat malnutrition. The use of enteral feeding devices has proven effective in supporting the health and well-being of patients suffering from this debilitating illness.

The growing adoption of advanced technologies in manufacturing supports regional market growth. Key market players in the region are placing a growing emphasis on developing portable enteral feeding devices, which is expected to drive market growth. Moreover, with the rising incidence of tube placement errors leading to complications such as lung injuries, manufacturers are introducing innovative products such as the DoubleCHEK device. This device assists clinicians and caregivers in the safe placement of nasogastric feeding tubes, highlighting the importance of technology in improving patient outcomes and driving market growth in Europe.

The high cost of advanced enteral feeding devices is a significant impediment to the European market growth, limiting their affordability and accessibility for patients. Moreover, usability issue, such as the potential for misplacement of feeding tubes, presents a challenge to the widespread adoption and uptake of these devices, thus hindering the market growth. Additionally, the need for improved infrastructure in hospitals, a shortage of skilled professionals and a lack of reimbursement policies in some countries inhibit the growth rate of the European enteral feeding devices market.
