Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market Segment Analysis - By Product Type

The Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market based on product type can be further segmented into Oral Thin Film and Transdermal Thin Film. The Oral Thin Film Segment held the largest share of the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing market in 2021. This growth is owing to the surging application of oral thin film drugs where oral thin film medications are being put on the oral mucosal tissue or tongue of patients. The soaring demand for oral thin film drugs due to technological progress in these products is further propelling the growth of the Oral Thin Film segment.

Furthermore, the Transdermal Thin Film segment is estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2023-2028. It is due to the soaring advantages of transdermal drug delivery, involving developments in transdermal delivery technology and altering the requirements of patients.

Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market Segment Analysis - By Indication 

The Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market based on indication can be further segmented into Schizophrenia, Migraine and Opioid Dependence. The Schizophrenia Segment held the largest share of the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing market in 2021. This growth is driven by the increasing predominance of schizophrenia. The surging application of thin-film drug delivery is further propelling the growth of this segment.

Furthermore, the Migraine segment is estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period 2023-2028. This is due to the formulation of Propranolol hydrochloride oral thin films for migraine prophylaxis with the intention of developing the dosage form to decrease the dose by bypassing its earliest pass metabolism.

Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

The Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market, based on geography, can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and the Rest of the World. North America (Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market) dominated the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing market with a 35% share of the overall market in 2021. The growth of this region is driven by the extensive application of thin film manufacturing processes in the US of the North American region. The existence of thin film manufacturing companies in the US, like Nova Thin Film Pharmaceuticals, is further propelling the growth of the thin film drug manufacturing market in the US, thereby contributing to the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market in North America.

Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to be the region with the fastest CAGR over the forecast period 2023-2028. This growth is fueled by factors like the principal contribution of countries like India in the Asia-Pacific region.

Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market Drivers

Surging Applications of Thin Films:

Considering oral drug strip development, typically 5% w/w to 30% w/w of active pharmaceutical ingredients can be included in the oral strip. Thin films have been recognized as an alternative to traditional dosage forms. The thin films are thought to be convenient to swallow, self-administrable and fast-dissolving dosage form, all of which make it a versatile platform for drug delivery. This delivery system has been utilized for both systemic and local action through numerous routes like oral, buccal, sublingual, ocular and transdermal routes. The surging applications of Thin Film Drug Manufacturing are therefore fueling the growth of the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market during the forecast period 2023-2028.

Soaring Utilization of Oral Films:

Fast-dissolving oral films are ultra-thin (50-150um), around the size of a postage stamp and dissolve in the oral cavity within one minute subsequent to contacting saliva. This assures accelerated absorption and instantaneous bioavailability of the medicine. Buccal films are intended for remaining in contact with the cheek mucosa for a longer period of time. The soaring utilization of oral films is therefore driving the growth of the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Industry. It would further contribute to the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Industry Outlook during the forecast period 2023-2028.

Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market Challenge

High Cost of Thin Films:

Saliva stimulants are utilized alone or integrated to accomplish the desired impact and these typically constitute around 2-6% w/w of the complete oral film. The soaring cost of treatment is a key limitation. The high cost of thin film drugs in comparison with traditional drug dosages is likely to discourage end-users. This may result in therapeutic failure, non-reproducible impacts and toxicity to the patient at times. These issues are hampering the growth of the Thin Film Drug Manufacturing Market.
