The drug-loaded oral thin films market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR 6% during the forecast period (2022-2028).. Drugs that are available in the form of oral thin films are a new way of providing medicines to the concerned group. The oral form of many drugs is not available due to the enzymes and pH of the stomach. To cater to the need for such drugs, pharmaceutical companies have developed drugs that are present in thin dissolving films. In the case of an oral dissolving tablet, there was a risk of drowning. Oral thin films are a preferable alternative for patients over oral dissolving tablets. As soon as this film is placed in the mouth, they come in contact with saliva and get dissolved. The release of the drug takes place after it comes in contact with saliva.

The development of effective drugs in the form of oral thin films is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. For instance, in Jan 2022, Revive Therapeutics Ltd. has announced that it is working on developing a psilocybin-based product pipeline that will be effective in the treatment of mental illness and certain types of neurological disorders. The company said that they are focusing on research & development and clinical trials are going on to develop an oral psilocybin thin file strip.
