The Global Antihistamine Drugs Market is driven by increasing prevalence of allergic disorders
The Global Antihistamine Drugs Market involves drugs that treat or prevent allergic conditions by blocking the action of histamine released by basophils and mast cells.

Common allergy conditions treated using antihistamine drugs include allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, chronic idiopathic urticarial and others. These drugs are available both as prescription and over-the-counter medications in forms of tablets, capsules, liquids and sprays. Some common categories include sedating antihistamines that cause drowsiness and non-sedating antihistamines.
The Global Antihistamine Drugs Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 78.89 BN in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
