What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Clinical Nutrition Market?

The nutritional requirements for aging individuals are dictated by a variety of considerations, such as specific health issues, organ system impairments, activity levels, individual energy use and caloric needs, accessibility and ability to prepare and eat food, digestion capabilities, and personal food preferences. A report from the United Nations, a US intergovernmental organization, stated in November 2022 that the percentage of the global population who are 65 years or older will increase from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. The projection also indicated that by 2050, the worldwide population of individuals aged 65 years or older will amount to double the number of children under 5 and will be nearly the same as the number of children under 12. Hence, the expanding elderly population is expected to provide growth impetus for the clinical nutrition market.
