With the outbreak of COVID-19 at a global level, there has been a considerable rise in the demand for nutritional delivery. According to the British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN), rising numbers of critical patients suffering from COVID-19 infection or similar symptoms of pneumonia that are on ventilators have increased the demand for nutritional delivery through enteral feeding. Attributing to this factor, the global enteral feeding tubes market has observed substantial growth. Moreover, various guidelines have been introduced during the ongoing pandemic by the National Nurses Nutrition Group for patients requiring nutritional support.
