The global dysphagia management market has been gaining momentum over the recent past owing to increasing prevalence of neurological disorders and rising geriatric population. Dysphagia is a medical condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing, which could potentially lead to malnutrition. The market is primarily driven by rising cases of neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. These diseases often leave patients vulnerable to dysphagia. Additionally, degenerative changes in swallowing muscles and functions are common in elderly people, thereby fueling the need for dysphagia management.

The Global Dysphagia Management Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.19 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
