Nutrition provides human beings with the required amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, water,
vitamins, and minerals essential for proper cellular functioning and physiological activities and to maintain
energy balance in the body. Rise in the number of victims of malnutrition receiving treatment, high birth
rate, and high number of premature births are some of the important factors driving growth of the clinical
nutrition market. Malnutrition is a widespread problem affecting the lives of millions of people globally. It is
a condition that occurs due to deficiency of essential nutrients in the body. In 2010, around 40% of all
hospital patients across the world were malnourished. In Europe, around one-third of all hospital patients
were malnourished in 2012. Clinical nutrition is the most efficient way to treat malnutrition and avoid
associated costs. Additionally, high birth rate as well as the high number of premature births is expected
to drive the global clinical nutrition market. Countries such as India and China have high birth rate, which
is expected to boost the demand for clinical nutrition products, especially that of infant nutrition products.
According to the World Bank Group, the birth rate was highest in India (around 21.0 per thousand
people), followed by China (12.0 per thousand people), in Asia Pacific in 2012. The U.K. (13.0 per
thousand people) and France (13.0 per thousand people) had the highest birth rate in Europe in the same
year, while in the U.S.; it was 13.0 per thousand people.

Market History:
Increasing population of baby boomers is a major factor driving the consumption of clinical nutrition
products. With increasing age, digestion abilities of the human digestive system decreases, thus makes it
difficult for the body to absorb all the required nutrients from food. Loss of appetite is also a common
problem among baby boomers. As a result, aging individuals do not get optimal amounts of nutrients.
Hence, they resort to additional supplements for proper nourishment. In order to stay fit, their dependence
on clinical nutrition increases. According to the Population Division of the United Nations Department of
Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA), 841 million people were aged 60 years and above in 2013
compared to 205 million people in 1950. The population is projected to reach over 2 billion by 2050. With
the increasing population of baby boomers, spending on clinical nutrition is expected to increase.
Asia Pacific was the largest market for clinical nutrition in 2013, accounting for 41.5% of the global market
share, followed by Europe and North America with market share of 24.4% and 22.6% respectively. From
2014 to 2020, the Asia Pacific clinical nutrition market is expected to grow at a CAGR 3.9%, owing to
increasing demand from countries such as India and China. Increasing geriatric population is also
expected to propel the growth of the Asia Pacific market. The market share of North America is expected
to decrease to 21.3%, whereas that of Europe is expected to increase to 25.4% by 2020.
The clinical nutrition market is bifurcated into product type (infant nutrition, enteral nutrition, and
parenteral nutrition), type of infant nutrition (milk-based, soy-based, organic, probiotic/prebiotic, and
others), and type of enteral nutrition (standard, and enteral nutrition for chronic illnesses). Infant nutrition
segment holds the largest share of overall market in 2013 at USD 21.1 billion; and is expected to reach
USD 27.1 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 3.8% for the period 2014-2020.
