Clinical nutrition products are aimed at maintaining a nutritional balance in patients, by providing sufficient amount of nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, and minerals. The clinical nutrition products are specially formulated to nourish and improve the quality of life for people of all ages, which is, in turn, favoring the growth of clinical nutrition market. Oral administration of clinical nutrition products is not viable in patients with severe infection or burns and those recovering from major surgery or acute trauma. Nutritional need in such patients can be met by specialized nutritional feeding known as enteral or parenteral feeding. The enteral nutrition is a segment of clinical nutrition, which includes liquid formula diets and it is administered by feeding tubes into the gastro intestinal tract. Whereas, parenteral feeding is the clinical nutrition administered by the intravascular route.
The Canada clinical nutrition market is estimated to be valued at US$ 593.0 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Canada Clinical Nutrition Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in Canada have impacted the financial situation of several business sectors. Private healthcare is one of the sectors, which is majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of nutritional products and affected growth of the nutrition and healthcare businesses of various clinical nutrition companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted access to healthcare facilities and community services. Consequently, this is increasing the risk of individuals developing malnutrition. Hence, in such critical times, nutrition plays an essential role in building immunity. Though the demand for clinical nutrients is high, the restriction imposed has hampered the supply to a certain extent.
Thus, COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy in three main ways: 1) By directly affecting the production and demand; 2) By creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) By its financial impact on firms and financial markets.
The decreased access to nutrition care services and healthcare professionals owing to limited in-person contact and service cancellations was among the most common challenge that Canadian dietitians reported for discharged patients. However, the pandemic brought a drastic shift in healthcare practices such as the healthcare professionals started taking appointments over call or other virtual services thus, improving the market scenario.
