The growth outlook is being shaped by increasing demand for specialized nutrition that helps address inadequate protein intake among patients with liver disease and muscle loss. Poor appetite and early satiety can make it difficult for patients to consume sufficient nutrition through regular meals. FMI identifies high-protein oral nutritional supplements (ONS), branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)-enriched formulations and compact serving formats as important approaches to supporting nutritional intake.

Clinical nutrition guidance strengthens demand for specialized formulations

Nutritional management is becoming an important consideration in addressing muscle loss associated with chronic liver disease. The American College of Gastroenterology's May 2025 guideline recommends adequate protein intake, late-evening carbohydrate consumption and plant-based or BCAA-enriched protein sources for appropriate patients. FMI indicates that these recommendations support interest in specialized nutritional products designed to provide concentrated protein and liver-relevant amino acids in manageable servings.

What is driving demand for hepatic sarcopenia nutrition?

·         BCAA-enriched high-protein ONS — 41.5% share in 2026: Higher protein density and liver-relevant amino acids support the leading formulation position, particularly for patients who struggle to meet nutritional requirements through regular meals.

·         Compact serving formats: Smaller-volume nutritional products can help patients with poor appetite or early satiety consume additional protein without relying on large meals.

·         Late-evening nutrition: Nutritional strategies that include late-evening intake are supporting interest in products that fit structured dietary routines.

·         Continued nutritional support after discharge: Ongoing nutrition needs can create opportunities for products that patients can use at home following hospital treatment.

·         Evidence-based product selection: Clinical guidance, appropriate nutritional composition and clear instructions can influence product adoption among healthcare professionals and caregivers.

The hurdle

Maintaining consistent nutritional intake remains a central challenge. Patients experiencing poor appetite, early satiety or difficulty completing larger servings may struggle to meet their nutritional needs. FMI highlights the importance of compact formulations, appropriate protein composition and practical home-use instructions. For manufacturers, products that combine suitable nutritional profiles with manageable serving sizes and clear directions may be better positioned to support continued use.

Analyst perspective

“In my experience, demand is moving towards smaller nutrition servings that patients can complete without disturbing the normal meal routine. Liver-relevant evidence and simple home instructions will decide which products continue regularly after hospital discharge.” — Nandini Roy Choudhury, Principal Consultant, Future Market Insights.

What this means for medical nutrition manufacturers and healthcare providers

·         Prioritize compact, protein-dense formulations. Products designed to deliver concentrated nutrition in smaller servings may help address challenges associated with poor appetite and early satiety.

·         Align product development with clinical nutrition guidance. Appropriate protein composition, BCAA-enriched options and consideration of late-evening nutritional intake can help manufacturers address specific nutritional care requirements.

·         Support continuity of care after discharge. Clear home-use instructions, convenient serving formats and reliable product access can help patients and caregivers incorporate nutritional supplementation into ongoing care.

·         Address flavor fatigue and ease of consumption. Product variety and practical formats may support acceptance when oral nutritional supplements are used repeatedly.
