Introduction

Attempts to resolve the growing fears related to food allergies are increasing and the research efforts related to treating this condition have been gaining momentum in recent years. This trend is expected to continue in the future. As new research and treatments emerge, the potential for increased profits in this under-treated area will increase dramatically. 

Scope

Evaluation of current diagnostics and treatment paradigms in the management of food allergies, most notably peanut, seafood and milk allergies 

Overview of the incidence and prevalence of food allergies in the major markets 

Comparative analysis of the main growth areas of food allergy management in the future 

Identification of areas of highest unmet need in diagnosis, management and treatment of food allergies both now and in the future 

Report Highlights

Although the media often states that the prevalence of food allergy is increasing, it will be difficult to quantify these statements until more accurate diagnostic methods have emerged, some of which are set to reach the market in the next two to four years. 

New research in the area of immunotherapy (i.e. TNX-901 and Xolair), traditional Chinese medicine, and genetically engineered vaccines have the potential to dramatically alter management of food allergy in the near future.
