Global Enteral Syringe Market Reaches USD 1.15 Billion in 2026, Driven by Growing Adoption of Enteral Nutrition and Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Safety-focused Product Innovations and Rising Demand for Home-based Enteral Feeding to Drive Global Enteral Syringe Market to USD 1.56 Billion by 2033 at 4.59% CAGR – Coherent Market Insights

The Global Enteral Syringe Market, by Product Type (Single Use Enteral Syringes, Home Use Enteral Syringes, Catheter Tip Syringes, and Others), by Application (Cancer, Malnutrition, Neurological Disease, GI Related Disease, and Others), by Patient Group (Neonates and Pediatrics and Adults),  by End User (Hospitals and Ambulatory Care Centers and Home-based users), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) was valued at USD 1.15 Billion in 2026 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.59% over the forecast period (2026-2033).

Enteral syringes are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and homes and are available in range of 1ml to 60 ml. Enteral syringes come with purple plunger, which indicates that the medication in the syringe must be administered via enteral route and this color separate these syringes from IV syringes. These syringes are utilized for various purpose such for precise measurement of medicine that is administered to patient in situation where dose cannot be accurately measured using a medicine cup or spoon. These syringes are also used to administer medicine to infants (especially prematurely born) and young children and for administration of nutritional contents to ICU patients. These syringes are available in different types such as single use syringes, oral reusable syringe, and home use syringes. Newly launched enteral syringes are designed and manufactured to meet latest international standard ISO-80369-3. Increasing number of neonatal admissions to NICU, high prevalence of chronic diseases, and increasing geriatric population worldwide are expected to propel growth of the global enteral syringe market during the forecast period.

According to World Health Organization’s report: Born Too Soon: The Global Action Report on Preterm Birth, published in 2012, 1.1 million premature infants die, annually and however, 75 % could survive with simple treatments such as feeding them nutrition and medications in time. According to same source, around 15 million infants are born annually, of which more than one in every 10 infants are born prematurely.

Key players in the market are focused on launching ENFit design-based enteral syringes as per new guidelines initiated by Global Enteral Device Supplier Association (GEDSA) and other key stakeholder under Stay Connected in 2015. ENFit designs help to reduce incidences of misconnections incidence, thereby offering enhanced safety while using enteral syringes. In February 2017, Baxter International Inc. launched new enteral ENFit syringe and accessory line for patients requiring tube feeding. Baxter’s new enteral ENFit syringes are designed to improve patient safety during enteral nutrition (EN) therapy by preventing misconnections or wrong-route administration that can cause severe patient injury.  Furthermore, merger and acquisition strategies adopted by key market players are also expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in March 2017, GBUK Group Ltd announced acquisition of Intervene Group Ltd that resulted in additions of Intervene’s enteral devices products such as Enteralok, Surety, ENFit Dash3, NRFit Dash6, and BP cuff product ranges to the GBUK Group portfolio.

• North America is expected to hold dominant position in market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. The U.S. has high incidence rate of chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorder (Alzheimer’s disease and others) and hospital admissions related to this disease. For instance, according to a study published by the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine in 2013, 50% increase in patient admission to emergency department was recorded, compared to 2002-03 in the U.S. According to European Union’s factsheet 2017, around 19% of the population in Europe was aged 65 years and above in 2016.
• Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the market, owing to increasing prevalence of premature birth and sick infants that require enteral feeding after birth.
• Key players operating in the global enteral syringe market include, B. Braun Melsungen AG, GBUK Enteral Ltd., Thermo Fischer, Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Miktell Ltd., Baxter International, Inc., Cardinal Health, Inc., Terumo Corporation, Kentec Medical, Inc., Vygon S.A., and others.

Key News

• In January 2026, ENvue Medical, a commercial-stage medical device company launched a line of over-the-counter reusable ENFit syringes for enteral feeding and medication delivery in clinical and home-care settings. The syringes are offered in 2.5 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and 60 mL sizes and comply with ISO 80369-3 connection standards. Designed for reuse for up to seven days or 20 uses, the products are anticipated to be available through selected online retailers and durable medical equipment suppliers.
• In January 2026, ENvue Medical signed a strategic agreement with U-Deliver to distribute its reusable ENFit syringe range across the U.S. The products became available through U-Deliver’s website, Amazon storefront, and wholesale channels. The partnership expands syringe availability across home care, long-term care, and other non-acute settings while supporting continuity of enteral feeding and medication delivery after hospital discharge.
• In July 2026, ENvue Medical demonstrated ENvue Drive, a prototype robotic-assisted enteral feeding-tube placement tool combining electromagnetic navigation, artificial intelligence, and automated tube advancement. The technology can identify anatomical pathways, detect trajectory deviations, and provide corrective guidance under clinician supervision. This development is relevant to the broader enteral feeding-device ecosystem, but it is not specifically an enteral syringe innovation.
