Market Drivers
Several factors are propelling the allergy treatment market:
- Rising incidence of allergy: according to the World Allergy Organization, more than 30 per cent of the world’s population suffers from allergic diseases. It is essential to develop effective cures.
- Raising awareness and educating people with informational campaigns increases the knowledge about allergies among the public. The more people are aware of it, the more frequently it will be diagnosed and treated.
- Third, these patients have benefited from technological advances allowing more effective and targeted drug development and delivery systems. For example, biologics are now available to treat life-threatening IGE-mediated allergic reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What are the most common types of allergies treated in the market?
The most common types of allergies are pollen allergy, dust mite allergy, allergy to animals, food allergy (eg nuts and crayfish) and insect sting allergy.
- How does immunotherapy work?
Immunotherapy works by exposing patients to gradually escalating levels of allergen, thus incrementally desensitising their immune system over time in a way that can permanently reduce allergic reactions.
- Are there any new treatments on the horizon?
But yes, and thankfully there are emerging treatments on the scene, among them the so-called biologics or ‘targeted therapies’ that seem more potent and disease-specific than the standard therapy-du-jour – antihistamines.
- How significant is the role of lifestyle changes in managing allergies?
Medications and elimination diets relieve allergy symptoms, but other important interventions – such as reducing exposure to allergens, keeping a clean household, and dietary practices – can also help manage allergies.
- What are the challenges facing the allergy treatment market?
Challenges include the cost of more precise, expensive treatments; regional variations in regulation; and the fact that deeper public education on allergy prevention and management is still needed.
