The neonatal infants enteral feeding devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The neonatal infants enteral feeding devices market has seen steady growth in recent years. It will rise from $2.16 billion in 2024 to $2.25 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 3.9%.
Growth factors include rising premature birth rates, increasing neonatal disorders, higher demand for specialized neonatal care, and expanding healthcare infrastructure.
The neonatal infants enteral feeding devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The neonatal infants enteral feeding devices market is expected to reach $2.58 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 3.5%.
Growth is attributed to the growing use of enteral nutrition in neonatal intensive care, rising investments in healthcare infrastructure, and increased awareness of enteral feeding benefits. Trends include technological advancements, miniaturization of devices, integration of smart technologies, and personalized nutrition solutions.
The rising prevalence of preterm birth is expected to drive growth in the neonatal infant enteral feeding devices market. Preterm birth occurs when a baby is born before 37 weeks of gestation, leading to various health complications due to incomplete development. Contributing factors include older maternal age, lifestyle choices, medical interventions, maternal health conditions, and environmental factors. Neonatal infant enteral feeding devices are used to provide necessary nutrition to premature infants who cannot feed orally. For instance, in May 2024, the UK Office for National Statistics reported a slight increase in preterm live births from 7.5% in 2021 to 7.9% in 2022, driving demand for neonatal enteral feeding devices.

Leading businesses active in the neonatal infant enteral feeding devices market are pioneering devices armed with advanced functionalities such as real-time evaluation technology, which aids nutritional tracking and feeding monitorization, reducing complication probabilities. Infant enteral feeding devices leveraging this technology promise improved feeding accuracy, increased safety, enabling early problem-identification, supporting data-led decisions, engaging parents and enhancing overall neonatal care efficiency. For instance, in August 2023, Cardinal Health, a firm based in the US providing healthcare products and services, debuted its novel NTrainer System 2.0. This medical tool represents a design to expedite newborn and premature infants' development of oral coordination abilities, crucial for faster independent feeding. Explicitly, the NTrainer System 2.0 stands as the sole FDA Class II biofeedback device that assists newborn and prematurely born infants in honing their non-nutritive sucking (NNS) skills, necessary for autonomous oral feeding. The real-time evaluation technology embedded in the device offers clinicians the ability to objectively monitor a child's pre-feeding skills development.
