The leukotriene modifiers market includes drugs that block or inhibit leukotrienes - chemical mediators involved in inflammation and allergic reactions. These drugs are primarily used to manage chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and allergic rhinitis. The market comprises leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) such as montelukast and zileuton, which help prevent bronchoconstriction and reduce inflammation. While traditionally used as add-on therapies, leukotriene modifiers continue to play a supportive role in the management of moderate asthma and seasonal allergies. As awareness of respiratory health rises and personalized treatment becomes standard, these agents remain relevant in multi-drug therapeutic regimens.

The leukotriene modifiers market witnessed modest growth, supported by rising prevalence of asthma globally and the expansion of generic montelukast offerings. Pediatric formulations gained popularity as asthma diagnosis and treatment rates improved among children. Safety concerns regarding neuropsychiatric side effects of montelukast prompted updated labeling and physician training, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. Meanwhile, combination therapies involving leukotriene modifiers and inhaled corticosteroids saw expanded usage in patients with difficult-to-control asthma. The market also benefited from heightened demand during allergy seasons, particularly in regions affected by prolonged pollen exposure and increased air pollution levels.

The market will likely remain stable but challenged by increasing competition from biologics and newer monoclonal antibodies targeting eosinophilic asthma. However, their affordability and oral dosing convenience will sustain demand in low- and middle-income countries and among patients with mild to moderate disease. Research may explore their role in post-viral respiratory inflammation, especially in long-COVID management. AI-supported patient adherence platforms and personalized dosing apps will enhance medication effectiveness. Despite the emergence of alternatives, leukotriene modifiers will continue to serve as cost-effective components of asthma and allergy management in broad patient populations.
