The global parenteral nutrition market is also driven by a rise in the number of cases of malnutrition and approvals of novel parenteral nutrition combinations across the globe.

Parenteral nutrition is indicated for patients who cannot intake adequate nutrition orally or enterally, or who have a compromised GI track. Parenteral nutrition products include a range of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, amino acids and lipid emulsions, and micronutrients such as vitamins, trace elements, and minerals. The parenteral nutrition market is majorly driven by increase in incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, Crohn’s diseases, and HIV. Extensive research and development activities by key players to develop new parenteral nutrition products and rising approvals to novel parenteral nutrition components drive the market.

Parenteral nutrition is considered as an essential treatment therapy to provide adequate nutrition support to malnourished patents. Globally, the incidence of malnutrition is rising rapidly due to poor dietary habits in developed countries and high poverty rate in developing regions.

Of these, around 20 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition and another 175 million are undernourished. Furthermore, rise in cases of malnutrition among the geriatric population propels the market. According to the National Resource Center on Nutrition, Physical Activity & Aging, around 1 million housebound older people are malnourished every year in North America. The R&D pipeline of leading companies to develop novel parenteral nutrition drugs is expanding significantly, owing to increasing investments. These companies strive to develop advanced or standard nutritional products that safely and sufficiently satisfy nutrition requirements of patients in different clinical conditions. Several companies have successfully received regulatory approvals for novel and effective parenteral nutrition drugs in the last few years.
