The dysphagia supplement market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The dysphagia supplement market has grown significantly in recent years. It will rise from $1.37 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 6.8%.
This growth is driven by an increasing elderly population, a rise in neurological disorders, better healthcare awareness, higher diagnoses of dysphagia, and increasing healthcare spending.
The dysphagia supplement market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The dysphagia supplement market is expected to reach $1.87 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 6.4%.
Growth is supported by rising chronic diseases, digestive issues, increased use of thickening solutions, educational initiatives, and a higher prevalence of swallowing problems. Key trends will include technological advancements, stronger clinical evidence, new product formulations, and increased R&D.
The increasing prevalence of digestive diseases is expected to boost the dysphagia supplement market. Digestive diseases, such as conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, are on the rise due to poor diets and sedentary lifestyles. Dysphagia supplements provide nutrient-rich, easy-to-swallow options for individuals with swallowing difficulties. In October 2022, United European Gastroenterology reported that digestive diseases affect over 300 million people in Europe and the Mediterranean region, further contributing to the growth of the dysphagia supplement market.
