The global oral thin film drugs market size is predicted to exhibit an 8.10% CAGR from 2019 to 2027 (forecast period), as per the latest report by Market Research Future (MRFR). This can be credited to the expanding geriatric population and their need for advanced drug delivery methods to keep chronic diseases such as diabetes at bay. Continuous investment in research and development (R&D) by companies to create easily dissolvable solutions for other diseases is expected to spur market growth over the forecast period. Introduction of OTF drugs in developing countries can act as a good revenue source for the OTF drugs market.
