According to FutureWise analysis, the market for allergy patch tests is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7% from 2023-2031.
Patch testing is a method healthcare professionals use to identify the substances or allergens that may be causing an allergic reaction in a patient. These tests involve applying small patches containing various allergens to the patient's skin and observing any allergic reactions that occur over time. The allergy patch testing market includes multiple components, such as Patch Test Kits, Allergen Panels, Diagnostic Instruments and Equipment, Allergy Testing Services, and Research and Development.
Prior to conducting a patch test, the healthcare professional performs a comprehensive medical evaluation and examination to assess the patient's symptoms, possible allergens, and other relevant factors. The patient's skin should be free of inflammation or open wounds at the test site. Small patches are applied to the patient's back or sometimes other areas of the body. The patches are usually made of hypoallergenic material and are impregnated with specific allergens, such as metals, fragrances, preservatives, or other substances commonly associated with contact allergies. The patches are left in place for a specific duration, typically 48 to 72 hours. After the designated period, the patches are removed by the healthcare professional. Following the treatment, a meticulous examination of the skin is conducted to detect any signs of allergic reactions, which may manifest as redness, inflammation, itchiness, or blisters. The healthcare professional evaluates the skin reactions and compares them to a control patch containing no allergens. Positive reactions indicate an allergic response to specific allergens, helping to identify the substances to which the patient is sensitive.
