Allergy Diagnostics Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product & Services (Consumables, Instruments, Services), Allergen (Inhaled Allergens, Food Allergens, Drug Allergens, Others), Test Type (In Vivo Tests, In Vitro Tests), End Users (Diagnostic Laboratories, Hospital-based Laboratories, Academic Research Institutes), and Region
The allergy diagnostics market was valued at USD 5 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow further up to USD 14.1 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period (2022-2031).
An allergy is a hypersensitivity condition of the immune system. Allergic reactions occur when a person’s immune system reacts to harmless substances which are named allergens in the environment. Major allergens that affect the immune system are dust mites’ excretion, pollen, and pet dander. There are different kinds of allergies such as food allergy, skin allergy, dust allergy, allergy to insect stings, drug allergy, and mold allergy. Food allergy is generally caused by the consumption of certain proteins found in food and may activate symptoms such as hives and digestive problems.
Scope of the ReportMarket DriversIncreasing environmental pollution levels
Exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants, allergens, and occupational exposure are the major risk factors that cause chronic respiratory diseases. The prevalence of allergic disorders among the urban population is higher than those living in rural areas owing to the high exposure to environmental pollutants in cities. A new WHO air quality model confirms that 92% of the world’s population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits. Some 3 million deaths per year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution can be just as deadly. In 2012, an estimated 6.5 million deaths (11.6% of global deaths) were associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution together.
Use of mHealth in allergy diagnosis
Recent developments in integrated biosensors, wireless communication, and power harvesting techniques generate a new class of point-of-care devices. Conversely, AR is a very common disease. Any diagnostic device connected to a smartphone (e.g., peak nasal inspiratory flow meters or intranasal biosensors) would need to be inexpensive to be affordable.
The monitoring of the control of allergic multimorbidity (rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma) has been approached by various apps. An allergy monitor, for instance, assists in monitoring the symptoms and medication intake, which is then matched to local pollen concentrations.
Market RestraintsPremium costs associated with allergy diagnostic instruments
Several allergy diagnostics instruments, like luminometers, blot analyzers, scanners, ELISA analyzers, and immunoassay analyzers, are continually updated by market players. As these instruments are equipped with advanced features coupled with functionalities, they are priced at a premium (the price of each instrument varies based on its accuracy, flexibility, and TAT). Moreover, maintenance and insurance, laboratory supervision, and overheads (including utilities, space, and administration) are additional expenses essential to operating this equipment.
Impact of COVID-19 on Allergy Diagnostics Market
The market for allergy diagnostics witnessed a slight decline owing to the outbreak of COVID across the globe. Diagnostic procedures were postponed in most allergic diseases, considering the affected patients are well instructed regarding avoidance of potential environmental activators and treatment of acute events, also based on written action plans. Still, the diagnostic procedures were resumed as soon as the pandemic got under control.
