Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report which analyses the changing environment of the ethical nutrition in healthcare market and forecasts to 2012.

"The U. S. Market for Ethical Nutrition in Healthcare" finds that this market is set to touch the $8 billion mark this year and that it will experience a compound annual growth rate of 2.3% over the next five years to reach $9 billion by 2012.

The report says market drivers include the rising number of elderly and critically ill as well as the shift towards home care.

Authors of the report find that the American nutrition market was dominated by infant and paediatric nutritionals, which are estimated to account for about 33% of total revenue this year. The report contains specific sections on markets for infant and adult nutrition, nutritional supplies and equipment.

Analysts say that ethical nutrition attracted great interest in the early 1990s, and became a focal point of debate. There has been a resurgence of interest in the market as a result of larger numbers of adults now requiring ethical nutrition therapy.

The study identifies products and manufacturers who are operating in the market, and provides a comprehensive profile and measurement of the U. S market. Future trends and opportunities in ethical nutrition are looked at, even as current regulatory issues, R&D updates, and patent analysis is outlined.

"The U. S. Market for Ethical Nutrition in Healthcare"is available in pdf format from Piribo.
