Food Allergy Market Summary

Food Allergy Insights and Trends

• According to DelveInsight’s analysis, the Food Allergy market size was found to be ~USD 3,500 million in the leading markets (the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan) in 2025.

• A significant proportion of the food allergy burden is associated with comorbid atopic conditions such as Asthma, Atopic Dermatitis, and Allergic Rhinitis, along with pediatric predisposition and genetic factors, highlighting the need for integrated disease management, early diagnosis, and preventive strategies to reduce severe reactions and improve patient outcomes.

• Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and bronchodilators may also be used, but they do not treat anaphylaxis itself and serve only as adjunctive therapies.

• Desensitization improves food allergy care by raising reaction thresholds, reducing accidental anaphylaxis risk, and enhancing patient protection and confidence.

• Currently, omalizumab (XOLAIR), epinephrine nasal spray (NEFFY), and peanut allergen powder (PALFORZIA) are the only approved medications offering important treatment options for patients. Stallergenes Greer will discontinue the commercialization of PALFORZIA as of July 31, 2026. This voluntary discontinuation is not related to product safety, quality, or efficacy.

Food Allergy Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Food Allergy Overview

Food allergy is an immune-mediated condition that occurs when the body mistakenly identifies certain food proteins as harmful, triggering an abnormal immune response. It can range from mild to severe, with symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which may involve difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, and can be life-threatening. Food allergy is primarily caused by exposure to common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish. It typically develops due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Food Allergy Diagnosis

Food allergy is diagnosed primarily through clinical evaluation and detailed patient history, focusing on reproducible symptoms such as urticaria, gastrointestinal distress, respiratory difficulty, or anaphylaxis following food exposure. Diagnostic tests, including skin prick testing and serum-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) measurements, help confirm sensitization, while oral food challenge remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.

Further details are provided in the report.

Food Allergy Treatment

The primary goals of food allergy treatment are to prevent allergic reactions, reduce the risk of severe outcomes such as anaphylaxis, improve patient quality of life, and, where possible, induce long-term immune tolerance. Management is largely centered on strict allergen avoidance and patient education, including careful label reading and prevention of cross-contamination. Emergency preparedness is essential, with epinephrine (e.g., EpiPen, AUVI-Q) as the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, supported by adjunctive therapies such as antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, diphenhydramine) and corticosteroids for symptom control.

For long-term management, immunotherapy approaches are increasingly adopted in a step-wise manner. Oral immunotherapy (OIT), such as PALFORZIA, is used to achieve desensitization through controlled allergen exposure. Emerging alternatives include epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) like Viaskin Peanut Patch (DBV712) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), which offer improved safety profiles. In patients with severe or multiple food allergies, biologic therapies such as XOLAIR may be considered to target IgE-mediated pathways and enhance treatment outcomes. Supportive strategies, including dietary modification, regular monitoring, and management of comorbid allergic conditions, remain critical to ensure sustained protection and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Further details related to country-based variations are provided in the report.

Approved Therapies for Food Allergy

Omalizumab (XOLAIR): Novartis/ Roche

XOLAIR, developed by Novartis and Roche, is a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody that targets the underlying allergic pathway by binding to free IgE and preventing its interaction with receptors on mast cells and basophils. Initially approved for allergic asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria, XOLAIR received US FDA approval in 2024 for the treatment of food allergy to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, following accidental exposure to one or more foods. By lowering circulating IgE levels, it helps decrease hypersensitivity responses and provides a novel, mechanism-driven approach for food allergy management, reflecting its expanded clinical utility and significance in addressing an area of high unmet need.

Epinephrine /Adrenaline (NEFFY/ EURNEFFY): ARS Pharmaceuticals /ALK Abelló /Alfresa Pharma

NEFFY/EURNEFFY, developed by ARS Pharmaceuticals and partnered with ALK-Abelló and Alfresa Pharma for global commercialization, is a needle-free, intranasal formulation of epinephrine designed for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis associated with food allergy. As a fast-acting sympathomimetic agent, epinephrine works by constricting blood vessels, relaxing airway muscles, and reducing swelling, thereby rapidly reversing life-threatening symptoms. NEFFY has gained regulatory approvals in key markets, including the US and Europe, offering a convenient and user-friendly alternative to traditional injectable auto-injectors, potentially improving adherence and timely administration during acute allergic emergencies.

Food Allergy Pipeline Analysis

Viaskin (DBV712) Peanut Patch: DBV Technologies 

DBV712, developed by DBV Technologies, is an innovative epicutaneous immunotherapy designed for the treatment of peanut allergy. It delivers small, controlled amounts of peanut protein through the skin using a non-invasive patch, promoting immune tolerance while minimizing systemic exposure. This approach targets Langerhans cells in the epidermis to modulate the immune response without entering the bloodstream in significant quantities. DBV712 aims to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions upon accidental exposure, offering a safer and more convenient alternative to oral immunotherapy, particularly for pediatric patients.

PVX108 (AVX-201): Aravax

PVX108, developed by Aravax, is an investigational peptide-based immunotherapy for peanut allergy designed to induce immune tolerance by targeting specific T-cell epitopes of peanut allergens. Unlike traditional allergen exposure approaches, it uses short synthetic peptides that do not cross-link IgE, thereby reducing the risk of allergic reactions during treatment. This targeted mechanism aims to modulate the immune response, promoting long-term desensitization while improving safety and tolerability. By addressing the underlying immune dysfunction, PVX108 has the potential to offer a disease-modifying approach for food allergy management.
