According to a recently published report by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global medical nutrition market is expected to register a 5% CAGR during the forecast period. It is further stated that the global market valuation will reach USD 52,395.3 million from its previous valuation of USD 41,014.8 million. The growth of the market can be attributed to the rising awareness level of patients concerning the consumption of certain foods and their positive and negative impacts on their health.

Medical nutrition market growth is considered as a revolutionary step in the healthcare industry. It aids in understanding the dietary needs of patients undergoing chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, immune system disorders, and others. The emergence of new and rare diseases and the evolving lifestyle of patients have sparked a massive demand for medical nutrition over the years. The changing lifestyle cycle directly impacts the general intake pattern. Over-reliance over fast foods and addiction to alcohol and narcotics causes a dip in the overall nutrition amount in the body. This has boosted the market for medical nutrition considerably.  

The market is also driven by the imperative need for increasing the survival rate among infants. It is reported that the number of malnourished patients coupled with the vast geriatric population are likely to influence the market positively.
