Global Medical Nutrition Market: Restraints

The major factors restraining growth of the medical nutrition market are side effects and complications caused by products indicated for medical nutrition. For instance, according to a study published in the scientific journal, Annals of Internal Medicine in December 2013, regular vitamin use increased with increase in income. Moreover, majority of the population earning less than US$ 24,000 per year were did not take vitamins, whereas 55% of the population earning more than US$ 60,000 and more per year took vitamins regularly.

Lack of awareness regarding healthcare, diet, and proper nutrition balance in low-and middle income economies is another major factor, which is expected to hinder growth of the global medical nutrition market over the forecast period. Rural areas in low-and middle income economies such as Africa and Asia Pacific has very low awareness about nutritional products and diseases associated with the nutritional deficiencies , which is expected to be a major reason leading to slow adoption of medical nutritional production in such regions, thereby hindering the market growth
