Food Allergy Epidemiology Forecast 2025-2034

Food allergy is defined as an abnormal immune response to a certain food, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. IgE-mediated allergies are the most common and severe type of food allergies, characterized by the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. Around 33 million Americans are estimated to have at least one food allergy whereas in the United Kingdom, 2.4 million adults have a clinically confirmed food allergy.

Food Allergy Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

The “Food Allergy Epidemiology Forecast Report 2034” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of food allergy. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of food allergy across various populations. The study covers age, gender, and type as major determinants of the food allergy-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of food allergy over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, as well as historical and projected data on the epidemiology of food allergy in the 8 major markets.

Regions Covered

• The United States
• EU-4 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and the United Kingdom
• Japan
• India

Food Allergy: Disease Overview

Food allergy is an unpleasant and at times dangerous reaction from the immune system upon ingestion of certain food (allergen). Milk, peanut, and egg allergies are common food allergies. Symptoms such as hives, swollen airways, and digestive problems usually occur during a food allergy reaction. A mild allergic episode can be treated with the help of antihistamine drugs. However, severe reactions can prove to be fatal and require the injection of the drug epinephrine and emergency room care.

Food Allergy: Treatment Overview

Avoiding trigger foods is the best treatment for food allergy. However, in cases of accidental ingestion, emergency medications such as epinephrine autoinjectors are available that help in immediately reversing the symptoms of anaphylaxis. Antihistamines are commonly used to reduce itching or congestion whereas corticosteroids are effective in managing swelling during a severe allergic reaction.

Epidemiology

The food allergy epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for food allergy by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for food allergy and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• Around 33 million Americans are estimated to have at least one food allergy, according to FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), a United States-based non-profit dedicated to food allergy research and awareness. Further, it is reported that nearly 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children are affected by a food allergy. Moreover, approximately 40% of children with food allergies have more than one food that they are allergic to.
• As per the 2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), about 5.5% of children (aged 0-17 years) have a clinically diagnosed food allergy.
• Food allergy can affect both genders, but it is reported to occur more frequently in women post-puberty, according to an article published in the World Allergy Organization Journal (2017).
• A cross-sectional pediatric food allergy survey among 3 to 5-year-olds in the United States revealed that 1.3% of the participants had an egg allergy, 2.1% had a peanut allergy, and 0.2% had a sesame allergy, all confirmed as IgE-mediated reactions.

Country-wise Food Allergy Epidemiology

The food allergy epidemiology data and findings for the United States, EU-4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

Genetic, environmental, and dietary factors dictate the prevalence rate of food allergies in various countries. According to the latest Patterns and Prevalence of Adult Food Allergy (PAFA) report, over 30% of adults living in the United Kingdom reported some form of adverse reaction while eating a particular food. It was estimated that 2.4 million adults, accounting for 6% of the adult population, have a clinically confirmed food allergy in the United Kingdom.

Scope of the Report

• The report covers a detailed analysis of signs and symptoms, causes, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and classification/types of food allergy based on several factors.
• Food Allergy Epidemiology Forecast Report covers data for the eight major markets (the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, and India)
• The report helps to identify the patient population and the unmet needs of food allergy are highlighted along with an assessment of the disease's risk and burden.
