This region houses state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, which are currently under ambitious expansion plans. MEA is identified to be another key market and the most opportunistic region for ready-to-use therapeutic food in coming years, owing to the support from local as well as regional governments. While local governments in MEA are augmenting SAM treatment budgets, regional governments are on the verge of approving new production facilities. APAC market for RUTF will reportedly flourish due to CAMAM implementation. On account of a significant malnutrition rate, some of the underprivileged Asian and African countries are anticipated to constantly drive the demand for RUTF products.

Research says that the products that fall under this category tend to have a negligible risk of contamination and is thus relatively safer for children. Moreover, they do not demand preparation before they are distributed among children, and are more convenient and cost-effective in terms of transport and storage. The market is expected to see extensive innovation in solid RUTF products. Drinkable ready-to-use therapeutic foods segment is however believed to observe substantial and relatively higher growth in near future, as the UNICEF has recently announced its focus on drinkable RUTF procurement.
