Malaysia clinical
nutrition market is anticipated to grow significantly rate in the projected period
of 2028. Clinical nutrition are gaining increasing
popularity in Malaysia due to the prevailing undernutrition and chronic
diseases. As people become more health-conscious and seek ways to support their
well-being, demand for clinical nutrition propels in Malaysia. With a growing
awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition,
exercise, and overall wellness, the demand for clinical nutrition has been
steadily rising in Malaysia. Clinical nutrition focuses on the diagnosis and
management of illnesses that affect dietary intake, absorption, and metabolism
as well as the promotion of health through the avoidance of diseases that are
dietary-related. The most prevalent causes of mortality in the developed world
are adult diseases of clinical nutrition, which also include eating disorders,
intestinal disorders related to inadequate nutrient absorption, obesity with
its co-morbidities of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemias, increased risks of
cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and pulmonary failure, and malnutrition
linked to chronic illness and surgical trauma. Scientific research on the
connection between dietary components and disease cellular mechanisms advances
frequently. There has been a comparable rise in consumer awareness of
well-being along with the increased demand for clinical nutrition. The increasing
development of metabolic diseases and consumer awareness of the value of
leading a healthy lifestyle have been the two main factors propelling the
market for clinical nutrition. Many health-conscious consumers are looking for
all-natural, risk-free, and efficient ways to stay healthy and ward against
ailments. Also, the aging population has boosted the market's expansion, in Malaysia
where they are more likely to experience chronic illnesses and have a greater
need for the clinical nutrition, leading to the growth of Malaysia clinical
nutrition market. As people get older, their body is less efficient at
absorbing nutrients from food and that makes it more difficult for them to
obtain the daily nutritional requirement.
According to the National
Library of Medicine, it is estimated that there are 1.4 million Malaysians of
age 60 years or older and it is expected to grow to 3.3 million by 2020. This
proportion is expected to reach 9.7% of the population by 2020. The population
of Malaysia is expected to reach 33.3 million by 2020 at an 80% growth rate
from 18.4 million in 1990.
In
addition, people are taking more care of their health and fitness so they can
incorporate a food supplement like protein powders, vitamins, or herbs into
their diet. The growing availability and variety of products are also a factor
contributing to the increased use of clinical nutrition. More companies are
starting up on the market and offering a broad range of products adapted to
each individual need or preference, in response to growing demand for clinical
nutrition. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity,
diabetes, and heart disease has also contributed to the growth of the clinical
nutrition market in Malaysia. Traditional retail channels such as pharmacies
and health food stores remain popular, but there has been a significant
increase in online sales of clinical nutrition. E-commerce platforms and online
marketplaces offer consumers greater convenience and accessibility, allowing
them to research and purchase clinical nutrition from the comfort of their own homes.
As per the International Trade Administration (ITA), the number of active
internet users in Malaysia rose from 27.4 million to 80 % by 2021 and mobile
phone penetration was high at 84.2 percent. In Malaysia, there were 28 million
active users on social media and 39.9 million cellular connections in January
2021.
Rising Prevalence
of Undernutrition
Malaysia,
a vibrant and diverse country in Southeast Asia, has been experiencing a
concerning rise in undernutrition rates in recent years. This alarming trend
has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry, particularly in the
field of clinical nutrition. Undernutrition is a condition characterized by inadequate
intake of essential nutrients, leading to stunted growth, weakened immune
systems, and an increased risk of diseases. Despite Malaysia's overall economic
progress and development, a significant portion of its population still faces
undernutrition challenges, particularly among vulnerable groups such as
children, the elderly, and low-income communities. Several factors contribute
to the prevailing undernutrition in Malaysia. Limited access to nutritious food,
inadequate dietary diversity, and poor nutrition knowledge are some of the key
underlying causes. Additionally, changing lifestyles, urbanization, and the
increased consumption of processed foods have further exacerbated the problem. Recognizing
the urgent need to address undernutrition, the Malaysian government has taken
proactive steps to prioritize nutrition and healthcare, leading to the
expansion of clinical nutrition market in Malaysia. The National Plan of
Action for Nutrition Malaysia (NPANM) was implemented to improve the
nutritional status of the population, with a specific focus on vulnerable
groups. These initiatives have created a favorable environment for the
growth of the clinical nutrition market. The clinical nutrition market
encompasses a wide range of products, including medical foods, enteral and
parenteral nutrition, and dietary supplements. These products are specially
formulated to provide essential nutrients to individuals who cannot consume or
absorb them adequately through regular food intake. They play a crucial role in
managing undernutrition, supporting recovery after illness or surgery, and
promoting overall health and well-being. According to Asia-Pacific Journal
of Public Health, In Malaysia the most consumed vitamin/mineral supplements was
vitamin C (72.4%), followed to a much lesser extent by multivitamin (11.3%) and
iron (7.0%); bee products were the most commonly consumed food supplement
(25.9%), followed by fish oil (23.2%) and spirulina (16.2%). Moreover,
investing in research and development activities is vital in driving innovation
and creating novel solutions for addressing undernutrition. This includes
exploring alternative sources of nutrients, developing fortified food products,
and leveraging emerging technologies to improve the effectiveness and
accessibility of clinical nutrition interventions, which is expected to grow the
clinical nutrition market in Malaysia.
Increasing Geriatric Population Drives the Clinical
Nutrition Market in Malaysia
Malaysia's clinical nutrition market is
experiencing significant growth due to the rising geriatric population in the
country. As people age, their nutritional needs change, and clinical nutrition
plays a crucial role in addressing the specific dietary requirements of older
adults. With advancements in medical science and increased awareness about the
benefits of clinical nutrition, Malaysia is witnessing a surge in demand for
specialized nutritional products and services. The elderly population often
faces health conditions such as malnutrition, chronic diseases, and impaired
digestive systems. Meeting their nutritional needs becomes essential for
maintaining optimal health and quality of life, propelling the growth of Malaysia
clinical nutrition market. According to Ministry of Economy, Department of
Statistics Malaysia, the percentage of people of the age group over 60 years, increase
from 7 percent in 2021 to 7.3 percent in 2022. Also, awareness about the
importance of clinical nutrition in managing age-related health conditions is
expanding among the general population. People are becoming more conscious of
the role of nutrition in promoting healthy aging and are actively seeking
dietary solutions tailored to their specific needs. This increased awareness is
driving the demand for clinical nutrition products and services.
