The Middle East and Africa enteral feeding formulas market had a moderate proportion of the global market in 2020, with the UAE and Kuwait playing a significant role in the MEA enteral feeding formulas market. However, increased demand for home care and an increase in chronic illness occurrences such as multiple sclerosis, obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke, chronic liver disease, and diabetes have altered the market in regional countries.

The gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, provides artificial nutrition or medication to the organs. On the other hand, Parenteral feeding entails placing a catheter into the central or peripheral veins and delivering nutrients or medication directly into the bloodstream.

In addition, enteral nutrition is less expensive than parenteral nutrition. The average daily cost of enteral nutrition is roughly 40% cheaper than that of parenteral nourishment for a patient. Enteral feeding is currently commonly employed in several treatment regimens due to these benefits.

Furthermore, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, rising healthcare expenditures, and the expanding low-cost manufacturing advantage of MEA countries are expected to tempt market participants to invest in the region during the forecast period.
