Opportunities Abound in the New Product Launches

People suffering from metabolic disorders such as diabetes are at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection. According to the International Diabetes Federation, people with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes and obesity are more prone to be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus due to compromised immune systems in these individuals.

Treating diabetic patients infected with COVID-19 is a bit difficult as the virus tends to grow immensely in elevated blood sugar levels. Controlling blood sugar levels is of utmost importance in treating COVID-19-infected patients. Thus, nutritional support plays a vital role in this context, thereby aiding in the segment's growth.

The rising burden of metabolic disorders also increases the demand for clinical nutrition. According to International Diabetes Federation, about over 425 million people live with diabetes, and this number is expected to reach 700 million in 2045.

Hence, the increasing burden of metabolic disorders and the introduction of new products to the market are expected to fuel this segment. Also, the growing product launches are expected to propel market growth. For instance, as a result, in February 2020, Galen launched an innovative medical food PKU EASY Microtabs, for people living with the rare, inherited metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU).

One of the primary reasons that are likely to have a big impact on the overall growth of the worldwide clinical nutrition products market in the next years is changing consumer patterns in terms of diet and consumption of various nutritional goods.
