However, the market is prognosticated to exhibit stable growth despite uncertainties associated with penetration rate, approval, and development.
Both startups and established names in the pharmaceutical industry have been showing great interest in oral thin films. Various advantages of oral thin films are envisaged to create a large consumer base for vendors functioning in the market. For instance, patients with swallowing difficulty are observed to prefer oral thin films.
