The main types of medical food include pill, powder, and others. The medical food pills refer to a small pellet or a tablet often coated and consumed by swallowing whole or by chewing. Medical food pills are specially formulated to meet nutritional requirements of patients with various medical conditions such as digression, ADHD, and others. They are used in treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetic Neuropathy, Nutritional Deficiency, ADHD, and others. They are sold through online, retail, and institutional channels.

North America was the largest region in the medical foods market in 2021. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the medical foods market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

The increase in the geriatric population is significantly contributing to the growth of the medical foods market. At the molecular and cellular level, aging is caused by the accumulation of a range of biomolecular damage throughout time. This results in a gradual loss of functional capacity, as well as an increased risk of disease and eventually, death. These changes are not linear or continuous, and they have been only distantly related to a person's chronological age.

As people get old, their dependency on certain nutritional foods increases especially medical foods to manage their health from chronic and age-related diseases. For instance, according to the US agency for international public health WHO, the global population aged 60 years and older will increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 from 1 billion in 2020. By 2050, the global population of adults aged 60 and up will have doubled (2.1 billion). Between 2020 and 2050, the number of people aged 80 and more is predicted to triple, reaching 426 million. Therefore, the increase in the geriatric population is expected to propel the growth of the medical foods market.

Constant innovations in product development is a key trend gaining popularity in the medical foods market. The companies operating in the medical foods sector are developing innovative products with greater efficacy to cater the demand from customers with specific niche diseases such as metabolic disorders, ADHD, and others. For instance, In February 2020, Galen US Inc., an Ireland-based pharmaceutical company launched PKU EASY Microtabs, a palatable alternative to protein substitutes, and it helps patients above 8 years to manage incurable condition "inherited metabolic disorder, phenylketonuria".
