According to FutureWise analysis the market for Motion Sickness Treatment in 2026 is US$ 0.88 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 1.27 billion by 2036 at a CAGR of 3.74%. Market growth is driven by increasing global travel, cruise tourism, and the use of VR technologies that cause motion-related discomfort. Innovations in non-drowsy formulations, transdermal patches, and combination therapies are improving patient convenience. Additionally, rising awareness of over-the-counter treatments is boosting demand in both developed and emerging markets.

Motion sickness is a common condition that arises mainly during travel, where the brain struggles to harmonize the sensory information it receives from the eyes, ears, and nose. Symptoms can range from clumsiness and nausea to, in some instances, a high fever. Factors that may increase susceptibility to motion sickness include frequent travel, the use of hormonal birth control, a family history of the condition, migraines, and certain neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Environmental and situational factors can also contribute to the onset of motion sickness. Activities like reading while moving, experiencing amusement park rides, or extended screen time may exacerbate symptoms. Commonly reported symptoms include headaches, irritability, and cold sweats.

In terms of treatment, antihistamines such as clemastine and fexofenadine are frequently used. In more affluent regions, scopolamine skin patches are also available and can be effective, with visual improvements noted when changed every 3-4 days. In India, natural remedies like neem and ginger are popular alternatives, alongside maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated. Acupressure may also offer relief.

The global market for motion sickness treatments is anticipated to grow, driven by an increase in prescription drug use aimed at managing the condition in developed countries. Additionally, the rise in tourist activity in developing nations is expected to further bolster this market. Contributing factors to the growth of the motion sickness treatment market include the rising incidence of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular issues over the past two years.

The treatment market is diverse, with numerous over-the-counter options available worldwide. Despite the availability of various medications, some can induce drowsiness, making it essential for travelers to consult healthcare professionals to determine the most appropriate treatment. Medicines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), dimenhydrinate, and scopolamine are commonly used. It’s particularly important to discuss medication dosages with healthcare providers when it comes to children, as their responses to motion sickness medications may differ, with some experiencing increased activity instead of sedation.
