Europe Emerges as Most Lucrative Region

In 2017, Europe accounted for 54.3% of the demand in the global ready-to-eat therapeutic food and supplementary food market, a long way ahead of the second most lucrative region of the Middle East and Africa. In the near future, although Europe is expected to slightly lose the demand share, it still will be the most profitable region, maintain more than half of the overall demand for RUTF and RUSF.

Incremented Government Initiatives Driving Demand

A number of factors are driving the demand in the global ready-to-eat therapeutic food and supplementary food market, such as increased government and NGO concerns regarding malnutrition treatment as a result of escalating population across the world, rising demand for drinkable RUTF products, and rising global emergencies and disasters. The report observes that various government bodies and NGOs such as UNICEF and Save the Children are reporting increasing malnutrition and child mortality rates. These organizations along with a number of government funded initiatives are focusing on allocating funds for purchase and distribution of RUTF and RUSF in under-privileged countries in Africa.

On the other hand, increasing consumer and local government shift towards local ingredients, inconsistency in RUTF milk product, risk of contamination, and the common belief that RUTF and RUSF may undermine breast feeding are some of the key challenges faced by the vendors of this market. Nevertheless, the companies operating in this market are expected to gain new opportunities from encouragement of UNICEF to domestically produce RUTF and escalated research on raw materials as well as the development of new, drinkable, powdered, and bar form of RUTF.

The information presented in this review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled, "Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food and Supplementary Food (RUTF & RUSF) Market (Product - RUTF (Solid (Powder or Blends and Biscuit or Bar), Paste, and Drinkable) and RUSF (Solid and Paste); End Users - UNICEF, WFP, and NGOs) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025."
