When a person is exposed to things composed of latex (natural rubber), their immune system reacts and causes a latex allergy. Itchy hands, skin rash, hives, and eczema are some of the signs of latex allergy (cracking of skin). In contrast to the one percent risk experienced by the general public, healthcare professionals face a risk of 8 to 17 percent, highlighting the significance of exposure as a key market driver.
The latex allergy market overview is expanding as a result of more people using inferior latex goods and the tendency of rashes to cause additional illnesses like asthma, rhinitis, and anaphylaxis.

Patients with spina bifida have a prevalence of latex sensitivity that is 65% higher than the general population's rate of 1%.
Other commercial restrictions include rising standards and regulations for the latex industry, the rash's ability to self-regulate after avoiding latex, the accessibility of homemade and alternative remedies, and others. The market has a high volume, low value outlook. Price sensitivity is another issue since these markets respond irrationally to pricing. The industry is also fragmented, which has impacted established companies' prices. The market has decreased as a result of the creation of production standards and tests for detecting the presence of latex allergens, such as the IgE ELISA inhibition assay.
