Policy Support Drives New Opportunities for FSMP Industry

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Health Commission, and 11 other departments jointly issued the "Special Action Plan for Promoting Health Consumption", which clearly identifies Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) as a key area for development. The release of this policy marks a new era of policy-driven growth for the FSMP industry, highlighting its critical role in supporting national health and promoting precision nutrition.

FSMP refers to specially formulated foods designed to meet the nutritional needs of individuals with specific medical conditions — such as limited food intake, impaired digestion and absorption, or metabolic disorders. These products are not only an essential part of clinical nutrition therapy, but also a key tool in advancing the "Healthy China" strategy and achieving personalized nutrition for all.
With the acceleration of population aging and the rising demand for chronic disease management, the market potential for FSMP is rapidly expanding.

The release of the "Special Action Plan" sets a clear direction for the FSMP industry at the national level:
Strengthening Standardization: Aligning R&D, production, and clinical application standards for FSMP.
Expanding Application Scenarios: Encouraging appropriate use of FSMP in hospitals, communities, and households.
Optimizing Market Environment: Supporting enterprise innovation and accelerating the supply of high-quality products.
This policy support will effectively address key industry challenges such as low awareness and market access difficulties, helping companies overcome technical barriers and driving the industry toward professionalization, standardization, and scale.
