Pollen allergy is an immune system response to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies pollen as harmful, triggering the release of chemicals such as histamine. Pollen allergies are typically seasonal, with symptoms peaking in spring, summer, or fall, depending on the type of pollen an individual is allergic to.
The pollen allergy market includes key product categories such as instruments, consumables, and services. Instruments are medical devices used for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating pollen allergies. Examples include nasal irrigation devices, allergy testing equipment, and inhalers. Allergens are classified into food, inhaled, drug, and other types. Treatments for pollen allergies encompass antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, mast cell stabilizers, leukotriene inhibitors, nasal anticholinergics, immunomodulators, auto-injectable epinephrine, and immunotherapy. These products are mainly used in diagnostic laboratories and hospitals.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The pollen allergy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pollen allergy market statistics, including the pollen allergy industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pollen allergy market share, detailed pollen allergy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pollen allergy industry. This pollen allergy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The pollen allergy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.92 billion in 2024 to $7.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in awareness of allergic conditions, rise in investment in healthcare infrastructure, surge in climate change leading to longer pollen seasons, and rise in urbanization contributing to higher allergen exposure.
The pollen allergy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing allergic conditions, rising pollution levels, rising climate change, growing awareness about allergy treatments, increasing availability of different treatment options, expanding healthcare access, and a increasing focus on preventive measures and environmental health. Major trends in the forecast period include development of more effective immunotherapy treatments, adoption of personalized allergy medications, innovations in pollen-blocking nasal filters, advancements in air purifiers with HEPA filters, improvements in nasal spray formulations, adoption of natural and organic allergy relief products, and advancements of wearable devices that monitor allergen exposure in real-time.
The forecast of 8.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may disrupt U.S. allergy care by increasing costs for sublingual immunotherapy tablets and air purification systems imported from Denmark and Belgium, potentially prolonging allergy seasons and raising immunology clinic expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of allergic rhinitis is expected to drive the growth of the pollen allergen market. Allergic rhinitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the nose, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes, often triggered by pollen or dust. The rise in allergic rhinitis is linked to factors such as environmental pollution, climate change, urbanization, and lifestyle changes, which increase exposure to allergens and pollutants. This condition is commonly caused by pollen allergies, where contact with pollen leads to inflammation in the nasal passages. For example, in October 2023, the World Allergy Organization, a US-based organization focused on clinical allergic studies, reported that allergic rhinitis affects more than 400 million people worldwide, with prevalence rates ranging from 10% to 30% in adults and surpassing 40% in children. As a result, the growing prevalence of allergic rhinitis is driving the expansion of the pollen allergen market.
Leading companies in the pollen allergy market are focusing on creating comprehensive allergy care platforms that offer integrated solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of allergies, ensuring better patient outcomes and convenience. A comprehensive allergy care platform for pollen allergy is an all-encompassing system or service designed to support individuals with pollen allergies from start to finish. For example, in February 2023, Nectar Life Sciences, a pharmaceutical company based in India, launched Nectar, a comprehensive allergy care platform, and introduced personalized sublingual immunotherapy drops as its first product. These custom-formulated Nectar allergy drops are based on a CLIA-certified at-home allergy test and target the root cause of allergies. They provide a convenient and effective alternative to traditional treatments such as shots and antihistamines. The program simplifies the treatment process with home delivery and ongoing prescriptions every three months, helping patients with moderate to severe allergies build long-term tolerance and reduce symptoms. This innovative approach aims to transform allergy care by combining personalization, convenience, and proven effectiveness.
In September 2023, Stallergenes Greer International AG, a pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, acquired the peanut allergy oral immunotherapy treatment Palforzia from Nestle S.A. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enhances Stallergenes' position as a leader in allergen immunotherapy by broadening its portfolio to include both respiratory and food allergy treatments. Nestle S.A., a Swiss food and beverage company, is actively involved in addressing a range of allergies, including food and environmental allergies such as those related to pollen.
