Allergens can include aeroallergens such as dust mite, mold, tree weed, grass pollen, milk, egg, soy, wheat, and others. These allergens can cause various allergic disease conditions including hay fever or allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and others. The major symptoms of allergic reactions include itching in the nose, roof of the mouth, throat, or eyes as well as sneezing, stuffy nose (congestion), teary eyes, and others. In addition, food allergies can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or respiratory symptoms, after ingestion of an allergen. According to the WHO, allergies are the fourth largest global pathology condition after cancer, AIDS, and cardiovascular diseases.
Market Dynamics
The major key factors that drive the global allergy treatment market include significant increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases, rise in preferences toward over-the-counter drugs for allergy treatment, and surge in self-medication in consumers.
