Healthcare providers may also use feeding tubes to administer medications. increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the rising aging population in the Czech Republic are among the prominent factors driving the Czech Republic enteral nutrition market growth. However, the high cost of enteral nutrition is hampering the growth of the market.

According to the Czech Statistical Office, the country is witnessing a notable increase in the elderly population. In December 2023, there was a population ratio of 130 seniors for every 100 children, and this ratio is expected to exceed 200 in 2040. Women aged 65 years in 2023 could expect to live another 20.4 years, and men of the same age 16.7 years. In 2023, 20.5% of the population was aged 65 and over.
Hence, the demand for enteral nutrition is growing with the increasing aging population.
However, The high cost of enteral nutrition products is a potential barrier for patients and healthcare providers. Although enteral nutrition is necessary for specific patient groups, particularly those who are unable to consume food orally due to medical conditions, the costs for such sophisticated formulas and devices make them unaffordable. The cost of enteral nutrition formulas varies significantly depending on the type (e.g., standard, high-protein, diabetic, or specialized formulas for specific conditions such as cancer or gastrointestinal diseases). A basic formula can cost approximately CZK 100–300 (~US$ 4.8–12.53) per day, depending on the required calorie intake. More specialized formulas or high-calorie options may cost more. Additionally, If patients require feeding tubes or other medical devices (e.g., pumps), these can add to the cost. Feeding tubes typically cost CZK 500–1,500 (~US$ 20.8–62) per tube, depending on the type and brand.
The Czech Republic enteral nutrition market analysis has been carried out by considering product type. The Czech Republic enteral nutrition market, based on type, is segmented into nasogastric, nasoenteral, sipping, and others. The nasogastric segment held the largest share in the Czech Republic enteral nutrition market in 2023, and it is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2023–2031. Nasogastric feeding involves the insertion of a small tube into the stomach through the nose, offering a simple, cost-effective solution for providing nutrition to patients facing swallowing difficulties, neurological disorders, or severe conditions that impair oral intake. Nasogastric feeding helps patients get enough nutrition to recover from illness. Nasogastric feeding is commonly prescribed for patients who require short-term feeding support.
The demand for nasogastric feeding in the Czech Republic is driven by the increasing incidence of neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions that affect swallowing. Additionally, the aging population in the country is contributing to the rise in the number of patients who require nutritional support, particularly after surgeries or in the management of chronic diseases. Healthcare infrastructure improvements and the availability of advanced, safer NG feeding tube systems are also encouraging the adoption of nasogastric enteral feeding.
Sipping enteral nutrition is an increasingly popular alternative to enteral feeding by tubes, wherein patients consume nutrition through a specially designed straw or sipping device. This type of nutrition is useful for individuals who can manage to sip liquid nutrition. Sipping systems offer patients comfort compared to traditional tube feeding, making it a preferred choice for individuals with partial swallowing ability. In the Czech Republic, sipping enteral nutrition is gaining traction in home care settings, where convenience and comfort are key factors. It is also increasingly used in outpatient settings for patients recovering from surgery or suffering from conditions such as cancer or gastrointestinal disorders.
