Parenteral Nutrition Market Growth & Trends

The global parenteral nutrition market size is expected to reach USD 12.59 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.87% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of malnutrition, rising metabolic disorders, growing geriatric population, and advancement in healthcare infrastructure are some of the factors driving the market growth. The rising geriatric population has significantly contributed to the increasing demand for parenteral nutrition (PN) as the elderly population is more vulnerable to several diseases. For instance, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the population of the U.S. aged above 65 years is expected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million in 2050.

The presence of a large pool of geriatric population with low immunity levels and susceptibility to neurological diseases, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and spinal injuries is a high-impact rendering driver of the market. Moreover, a surge in essential nutrition deficiency among critically ill patients; and growing awareness about hospital-related malnutrition are a few key factors increasing PN adoption. Parenteral drug administration provides the benefit of fast action and lower dose delivery, which prevent various adverse effects because of dietary imbalances, thereby promoting market growth. However, the high risk of infection during administration and the growing preference for enteral nutrition among patients are major factors restricting the market growth. The growing population worldwide has increased healthcare costs and household food expenditures.

Hence, a higher birth rate is expected to impact nutrition levels, thereby driving market growth. According to the United Nations statistics, the world population is expected to increase from 8 billion in 2022 to 9.7 billion in 2050 and 10.4 billion by the mid-2080s. This rising population can increase the scarcity of nutritional ingredients, fueling market growth. Realized natality plays a more prominent role than absolute natality (crude birth rate), as it includes environmental as well as resource pressures, such as water, food, and medication requirements per birth. Realized natality has been growing in the last decade and the trend is anticipated to continue over the forecast period. In 2020, the natality rate reported by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) was 11.99 births per 1,000 population. Furthermore, the percentage of lower-weight infants was 8.0%, thereby boosting the demand for PN products worldwide.
