LATAM Enteral Feeding Devices Market

The Latin America enteral feeding devices market is projected to reach USD 0.34 billion by 2032 from USD 0.25 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.

The Latin America enteral feeding devices market is impacted by a demographic shift toward the elderly and a rise in chronic/critical illness cases (cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative, and GI disorders) requiring long-term nutritional care. There has been an increasing awareness about malnutrition and food-security shocks that drive more patients into clinical and home enteral nutrition. The opening and upgrading of health systems (hospital capacity, ICU care) and the increasing provision of home care services and reimbursement also drive the market. The market is involved in continuous product innovation (safer tubes, portable pumps, minimally invasive gastrostomy options) and improved supply chains.

In March 2024, Fresenius expanded with a new innovation center, KabiLab D20, set to open in mid-2026. The 5,000-square-meter facility will house around 70 employees focused on advancing enteral nutrition and developing patient-specific parenteral nutrition devices, supporting the growing global demand for specialized clinical nutrition.

In January 2024, Cardinal Health (US) acquired Specialty Networks, a technology-enabled multi-specialty group purchasing and practice enhancement organization. The acquisition helped the company enhance the specialty strategy by providing new capabilities that strengthen the link between downstream and upstream services.
