Nasal irrigation is a process of cleaning the nasal cavity by using irrigation devices, which helps in the removal of debris, mucus, and allergens. Over the past few years, there has been significant growth in the cases of allergies and infectious diseases affecting the upper respiratory tract. There has been a significant surge in sinusitis, rhinitis, bronchiolitis, and other post-operative conditions, which require nasal irrigation for a speedy recovery; further inflammation and bacterial deposition may worsen the conditions. According to a report by the Sinus & Allergy Wellness Center, sinusitis affects 30 million adults annually in the US; ~11.6% of American adults were diagnosed with sinusitis in 2020. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of sinusitis has affected the activities of an individual, aiding the demand for nasal irrigation and driving the nasal irrigation devices market. A surge in the prevalence of upper respiratory tract infections amid rapid-paced industrialization and elevating pollution levels is also fueling the demand for nasal irrigation devices. With a rise in pollution, allergens and pollutants present in air may cause nasal passage blockage, and the excessive deposition of such chemicals or substances can further lead to sinusitis and other nasal problems.
