Orodispersible Tablets Market Growth Accelerated by Increased Patient Compliance
Orodispersible tablets are solid tablets intended to be placed in the mouth where they disperse rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds, before being swallowed, without the need for water or chewing. They are extremely convenient for patients who have difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets and provide faster action than conventional tablets. The increasing number of pediatric and geriatric patients are driving the demand for these tablets due to ease of administration without water. The global Orodispersible Tablets Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.9 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increased demand for faster acting drug delivery systems and higher patient
compliance are expected to drive the growth of the global orodispersible
tablets market over the forecast period. Rising prevalence of various
diseases accompanied with difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets has led
to surge in demand for innovative drug delivery systems. Moreover,
technological advancements in tablet formulations to incorporate active
ingredients that can dissolve rapidly have boosted the market growth.
