MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Top Technological Breakthroughs in Personalized Nutrition in 2025

The rise of nutrigenomics, metabolomics, wearable technology, and digital health platforms is revolutionizing clinical nutrition. These innovations allow for precise analysis of genetic and metabolic responses, enabling highly personalized nutrition plans that boost patient adherence and treatment effectiveness. With real-time monitoring and customized dietary recommendations delivered via smart devices and apps, individuals can proactively manage their health. This personalized approach is fueling strong demand across both clinical environments and homecare settings

The Impact of an Ageing Population on Chronic Disease Trends

The accelerating pace of global ageing - particularly in the Asia-Pacific region - is significantly driving the demand for clinical nutrition solutions. As the elderly population grows, so does the prevalence of age-related nutritional deficiencies and chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. These health challenges are increasing the need for specialized nutritional therapies. With the 80+ age group expected to triple by 2050, there is a rising emphasis on targeted nutrition to support immune health, preserve muscle mass, and enhance metabolic function.

Rising Public Awareness Fuels Demand for Preventive Healthcare

There is a growing recognition among healthcare professionals and consumers of the critical role nutrition plays in preventive healthcare. The integration of evidence-based screening and dietary counseling into routine practice is driving demand for functional foods, fortified drinks, and ready-to-drink (RTD) nutritional supplements. Backed by public health initiatives, educational campaigns, and supportive health policies, this shift toward early nutritional intervention is significantly enhancing the growth prospects of the clinical nutrition market.
