MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Technological Innovations in Personalized Nutrition

Advancements in nutrigenomics, metabolomics, wearable tech, and digital health platforms have enabled highly individualized clinical nutrition programs. By analyzing genetic and metabolic responses, these innovations improve nutrient targeting and patient compliance. Devices and apps offer real‑time monitoring and tailored recommendations, empowering users to manage health conditions proactively - driving demand across clinical settings and homecare alike.

Ageing Population & Chronic Disease Burden

Rapid global ageing, especially in Asia-Pacific, is expanding demand for clinical nutrition. Elderly individuals face nutritional deficiencies and chronic illnesses - such as diabetes, CVD, and cancer - that necessitate specialized nutrition therapies. With the 80+ demographic projected to triple by 2050, targeted nutrition support for immune function, muscle maintenance, and metabolic control is becoming essential.

Rising Awareness & Preventive Healthcare

Healthcare professionals and consumers increasingly value nutrition as a preventive measure. With evidence-based screening and dietary counseling integrated into practice, demand for functional foods, fortified beverages, and RTD supplements is growing. Educational campaigns and health policies are supporting this shift, encouraging early nutritional intervention and boosting the clinical nutrition market outlook.
