Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare team said: ”Vendors are leveraging their widespread distribution networks to increase their customer base. They are increasingly relying on online marketing and promotional activities to increase sales and brand equity. Through online marketing and promotional activities, more and more consumers are becoming aware of the positive health and nutrition benefits of probiotic products. Furthermore, online availability of medical nutrition products not only provides customers with easy access, but also helps vendors reduce their set-up, distribution, and operational costs. Thus, the increase in promotional activities by vendors is seen to have a positive impact on the Global Medical Nutrition market.”
According to the report, the steadily growing aging population worldwide, many of whom are in need of medical nutrition products to treat various diseases and conditions, is contributing to the growth of the market.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the unfavorable reimbursement regulations for medical nutrition products imposed by the government in various countries.
