Description

Report Overview

The over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medicine market consists of non-prescription medications designed to alleviate symptoms of allergic reactions, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and skin irritations. These products primarily include antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine, fexofenadine), decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine), and combination formulations that target multiple symptoms. OTC allergy medicines are widely available in pharmacies, supermarkets, and online platforms, making them accessible to consumers seeking immediate relief without requiring a doctor's prescription. The market is driven by increasing allergy prevalence due to environmental factors like pollution and pollen, consumer preference for self-medication, and the convenience of non-prescription solutions. Key players include major pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson & Johnson (Benadryl), Bayer (Claritin), and Perrigo (store-brand generics), all competing through product innovation, brand loyalty, and pricing strategies. Regulatory oversight by agencies like the FDA ensures safety and efficacy, while seasonal demand fluctuations—particularly during spring and fall—impact sales cycles. The rise of e-commerce and private-label alternatives has further intensified competition, with consumers increasingly prioritizing affordability and fast-acting formulations.

The global OTC Allergy Medicine market size was estimated at USD 31650.0 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period.
