U.S. clinical nutrition market to surpass $1 billion- study
Parenteral nutrition products lead growth in the sector that is increasingly moving out of the hospital and into alternative settings, such as the home.
10/08/05 The U.S. market for clinical nutritional supplements will surpass the $1 billion mark in the next few years, according to a new study released today from Kalorama Information. Parenteral nutrition products lead growth in the sector that is increasingly moving out of the hospital and into alternative settings, such as the home.
The new study, The U.S. Market for Clinical Nutrition Products, explores the new dynamism in the enteral and parenteral feeding market -- a dynamism driven not by dramatic product improvements, but by clinical, demographic, and ancillary technological changes.
The study examines clinical nutritional products, including oral enteral, tube enteral, parenteral, and total parenteral nutrition products, in terms of number of patients, products sales, and type of facility. The report also provides analyses of the market forces shaping the clinical nutrition market, including the effect the consumer market is having on supplement development, the changing face of clinical decision making and practice, the reimbursement environment, and the demographic patterns that will define patient populations in the future.
