Thin film drugs have emerged as an alternative to tablets or capsules due to its effective therapeutic results. The drugs are made of polymers that rapidly dissolve when kept in the mouth or buccal cavity, delivering the drug directly to systemic circulation in the body.
The lower manufacturing costs of thin film drugs, increasing demand for effective drug delivery systems, coupled with increasing research to develop newer polymeric thin films are expected to increase the demand for thin film drugs. However, high costs associated with the treatment restrain the market growth. In addition, effective therapeutic output of the drugs when compared to traditional drugs provides a lucrative opportunity for the market to grow.
