Grass Pollen Allergy Market is Growing due to the Rise in Number of Patients with Hay Fever

Pollens are made up of tiny particles released by trees, plants and grasses during spring and summer as part of their reproductive cycle. Pollen owing to its fine particles can be easily inhaled by humans and animals which can cause significant irritation and inflammation to some people. Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is among the most common form of allergy caused by grass pollen. According to a study conducted by American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology in 2010 reported that about 16.9 million adults and 6.7 million children were diagnosed with hay fever and its prevalence is increasing by approximately 30% in adults and 40% in children. The Charity Allergy U.K estimated that about 18 million people found to be affected with grass pollen allergy and is more common among children and teenagers. Symptoms of grass pollen include frequent sneezing, running or blocked nose, itchy eyes and throat. In some instances it can also lead to loss of senses to smell, facial pain, sweating and severe headache. People suffering from asthma face even a worse symptom which include tight chest, shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing. The United States Food and Drug Administration in 2014 estimated around 30 million people in the United States and 500 million globally suffer from one or other form of hay fever symptoms.
