Market Dynamics
Nasogastric tube holders market growth is driven by the increasing adoption of nasogastric tubes in pediatric surgical procedures and nutritional support for pediatric patients is anticipated to be the major driving factor for the market of nasogastric tube holders. The increasing geriatric population coupled with adult patients is expected to propel the demand for nasogastric tube holders. The major utilization of nasogastric tubes is in pediatric patients and premature births, fueling the growth of the nasogastric tube holders market.
The rising number of premature and sick babies is expected to drive the market growth
According to the World Health Organization (February 19, 2018), an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm (born before 37 completed weeks of gestation), and the number is rising. The rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% in 184 countries. Premature babies have a limited supply of energy and nutrients, so they must receive sufficient nutritional feeds more often without reducing their energy levels. Thus, nasogastric tubes are used to ensure proper nourishment for these babies. Thus, with the rising number of premature and sick babies, the nasogastric tube market will significantly expand in the coming years.
Few barriers and improper sterilization are likely to hamper the market growth
Barriers such as strong suction due to nasogastric tubes that may damage the gastric mucosa and cause significant bleeding interferes with the endoscopic assessment and diagnostic procedures. Furthermore, skin irritation and infections caused by nasogastric procedures due to improper sterilization may restrain the demand for nasogastric tubes.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019; it has spread fast across the globe. The US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, the UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are some of the worst affected countries in confirmed cases and reported deaths. The COVID-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The shutdown of various plants and factories has affected the global supply chains and negatively impacted the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of products in the global market. Few companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition to this, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America affect business collaborations and partnerships opportunities.
Segmentation Analysis
The tape-based segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment
Because of the ease in removing the tube and ease in placement and adjustment, nasogastric tube holders have become a viable tool for healthcare professionals and aid in maximizing patient comfort. Traditionally, tape-based nasogastric tube holders are used mostly. For instance, Dale Naso Gastric Tube Holders are ideal for holding nasogastric feeding and aspiration tubes. The holder is an improvement over the tape and other types of adhesive-backed holders because it features a skin-friendly adhesive that adheres to the skin of the nose quickly and comfortably.
The levin catheter segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment
Levin catheter segment will hold a significant revenue size over the forecast years due to its widespread usage in healthcare institutions, clinics, and hospitals. Levin catheters are comparatively safer tubes with a low complication rate. These tubes are available for single use that can reduce the infection rate and transmission of patient-to-patient infections. Levin tubes are made of thermo-stable material with a smooth tip that lowers the insertion trauma. Such benefits associated with the Levin catheter will escalate its adoption, thereby stimulating the segmental growth.
The pediatrics segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment
Nasogastric procedures in pediatrics are projected to grow at a rapid rate in the forecast period. NGTs are the most common devices used for enteral feeding among pediatrics in hospitals. A recent study conducted in 2016 in the U.S. reported that about 25% of hospitalized pediatric patients require temporary feeding through a nasogastric tube. Feeding through NGTs helps the child to get adequate nutrition to develop, grow, and recover from illness, thereby boosting the segmental growth in the projected timeframe.
The hospitals' segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment
The hospital's segment will witness lucrative growth over the forecast period. The aging population normally suffers from gastrointestinal and ingestion problems. Therefore, essential nutrients are supplemented through the enteral route in such cases, thus positively influencing demand for nasogastric tubes. Furthermore, the growing incidence of chronic diseases and expanding geriatric pool will drive the segmental growth in the coming years.
