Market Overview

The North America feeding tube market emphasizes the manufacturing and commercialization of feeding tubes that are utilized for the provision of nutrients to individuals suffering from chronic conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, and gastrointestinal conflicts. Feeding tubes are flexible plastic tubes that are inserted into the gastrointestinal tract to provide enteral nutrition and are available in various sizes, lengths, and materials.

Chronic diseases are the leading cause of illness, disability, and death in America, primarily resulting from risk factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. For instance, the data provided by the United Health Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings 2023 revealed that in 2022, more than 29 million adults in the U.S. have chronic conditions. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, central nervous system disorders, and digestive issues led to unstable conditions, including swallowing difficulties, immobile activities, and weakness, resulting in inadequate intake of nutrients. Considering these complications, feeding tubes were developed, and wide commercialization and usage of feeding tubes among North Americans resulted in the expansion of the North America feeding tubes market. The innovations and technological development of feeding tubes drive the market growth.
