The global medical foods market is expected to reach a value of USD 24.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report. The medical foods market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period. The key factors supporting expansion include the growing awareness about medical foods, improvement in patient healthcare outcomes, rise in prevalence of several chronic diseases, increase in malnutrition, and continuous innovation.


The growing number of patients with Alzheimer's disease is also increasing rapidly. As per the estimates published by the Alzheimer's Society, in the U.S., an estimated 5.4 million Americans across all ages are suffering from this disease. On further analysis of the data, it is observed that nearly 5.2 million people are aged 65 and above. Thus, rise in the geriatric population is also a major factor driving the medical foods market.
