Urticaria Drugs Market Segmentation by Application, Type and Geography Analysis
Application AnalysisÂ
Acute urticaria
The acute urticaria segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is fuelled by the fact that acute urticaria is more common than chronic since it mostly occurs as a result of associated allergies or diseases associated with food allergies, post-viral illnesses, etc. In addition, they last less than six weeks and can generally be managed by antihistamines. Furthermore, due to their higher incidence rates than chronic urticaria, they have a higher market share.

The acute urticaria segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 1.31 billion in 2018. Moreover, the acute urticaria segment of the global urticaria drugs market is expected to show accelerating growth in the forecast period since the incidence of acute urticaria is increasing owing to the increased prevalence of allergic diseases worldwide. In addition, the acute urticaria segment is expected to show an accelerating year-over-year growth with the increasing approval of drugs for acute urticaria. Furthermore, many pharmaceutical companies are performing extensive research in the acute urticaria area and planning to launch their products. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Type AnalysisÂ
Antihistamines
The first-line drug therapy used for the treatment of urticaria comprises sedative antihistamines and non-sedative antihistamines. In addition, the second-line drug therapy includes doxepin and leukotriene inhibitors. Furthermore, the third-line drug therapy includes cyclosporine and colchicine. Moreover, there is no need for extensive laboratory testing for most patients with antihistamine-responsive chronic urticaria. Hence, first-line antihistamine therapy is practically effective for treating chronic urticaria patients. Furthermore, the antihistamines used in treating chronic urticaria showed a 44%-90% response rate in various studies. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Anti-inflammatory agents
The global urticaria drugs market encompasses several key segments, with the anti-inflammatory agents segment playing a pivotal role. Urticaria, commonly known as hives, manifests as itchy, raised welts on the skin, typically triggered by allergic reactions. Anti-inflammatory agents are crucial in managing and treating urticaria by reducing inflammation, thereby alleviating symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling. These agents target underlying inflammatory processes that stimulate histamine release, a primary cause of allergic reactions. The effectiveness of anti-inflammatory treatments is driving growth in this market segment throughout the forecast period. Concurrently, advancements in medical research are expanding treatment options across various therapeutic areas, including segments like female sexual dysfunction treatment, ensuring a broader scope for pharmaceutical innovation and market development.

Urticaria Drugs Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.Â
Key Urticaria Drugs Market Drivers
One of the key factors driving the urticaria drugs market growth is the increasing prevalence of urticaria. Urticaria is a vastly prevalent disorder leading to high medical consultations globally. In addition, there is an increase in risk factors for urticaria like latent infectious, chronic inflammatory diseases, autoreactivity, and alcohol consumption.Â
Moreover, the global urticaria drugs market is driven by the rising incidence of allergic disorders and infections, which are significant risk factors for developing urticaria. Individuals with compromised immune systems are particularly susceptible, as their immune response can trigger the release of mast cells and histamines, leading to hives. Approximately 20 percent of people experience hives at some point in their lives, underscoring the widespread impact of this condition. As the prevalence of allergic conditions continues to increase globally, the demand for effective treatments, including anti-inflammatory agents and autoinjectors for severe cases, is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Autoinjectors play a crucial role in delivering rapid and precise doses of medication, enhancing convenience and safety for patients managing acute allergic reactions and urticaria symptoms.
Significant Urticaria Drugs Market Trends
A key factor shaping the urticaria drugs market growth is the increasing research funding for urticaria. Despite the presence of different approved therapies for the treatment of urticaria, the global urticaria drug market still has a significant unmet need due to the increasing prevalence of the indication and the lack of highly effective treatment options. In addition, the unmet need is also due to the unclear pathogenesis of the condition, which makes it difficult for the vendors to find a potential cure.
Moreover, to address these challenges, numerous companies and research institutions are actively engaged in studying and developing novel therapeutics for treating urticaria. This concerted effort is supported by increasing research funding, which is attracting small and mid-sized vendors and researchers to explore potential treatments and cures for urticaria across various causal indications. Additionally, potassium hydrogen sulfite, a compound known for its antioxidant and preservative properties, is being investigated for its potential therapeutic benefits in managing allergic reactions and related conditions like urticaria. These advancements in research and development are pivotal in driving market growth during the forecast period, aiming to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals affected by urticaria and associated allergic disorders.
Major Urticaria Drugs Market Challenges
The social stigma associated with urticaria is one of the key challenges hindering the urticaria drugs market growth. Due to the social stigma associated with the urticaria condition, access to healthcare systems and the rate of hospitalization may also decrease. In addition, the level of stigmatization may also change based on the geography of residence. Furthermore, certain countries have lesser awareness of dermatological conditions, and patients find fewer employment opportunities leading to economic challenges.
Moreover, dealing with the social stigma may lead to mood disorders like anxiety and depression. In addition, perceived stigma by the patient may also lead to stress and may negatively impact the quality of life of the patient. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
