According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Orally Disintegrating Tablet market size was valued at US$ 23470 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 35360 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.1% during review period.
An orally disintegrating tablet or orally dissolving tablet (ODT) is a drug dosage form available for a limited range of over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications. ODTs differ from traditional tablets in that they are designed to be dissolved on the tongue rather than swallowed whole. The ODT serves as an alternative dosage form for patients who experience dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) or for where compliance is a known issue and therefore an easier dosage form to take ensures that medication is taken.In 2024, global orally disintegrating tablet production reached approximately 3570 m units, with an average global market price of around US$ 6 perunit.he average gross profit margin for this product is 62% and global capacity is about 4000 m units.
Market Drivers:
The global Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) market is primarily driven by increasing demand for convenient and patient-friendly drug delivery systems. As the global aging population grows and more patients experience difficulty swallowing traditional tablets and capsules, ODTs provide an effective alternative. The pediatric segment also fuels growth due to the ease of administration and improved compliance. Additionally, advancements in formulation technologies, such as the use of superdisintegrants and taste-masking agents, have enhanced the efficacy and palatability of ODTs, encouraging pharmaceutical companies to develop more drugs in this format.
Market Challenges:
Despite strong demand, the ODT market faces several challenges. One major barrier is the complexity and higher cost of manufacturing ODTs compared to conventional tablets, especially in achieving quick disintegration and taste masking without compromising drug stability. Regulatory hurdles can also slow product approvals due to stringent quality standards. Moreover, not all active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are suitable for ODT formulation due to factors like dose size, bitterness, or poor solubility, which limits the range of drugs that can be adapted into this format.
Market Trends:
The ODT market is witnessing a trend toward expansion into high-value therapeutic areas such as central nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and pain management. Additionally, there is increasing interest in combining ODTs with rapid-onset APIs for emergency-use treatments like migraines and seizures. Technological innovations in 3D printing and polymer-based film layering are also contributing to more customizable and faster-dissolving ODTs. As more generic and branded drug manufacturers recognize the commercial potential of this dosage form, the market is expected to grow steadily in both developed and emerging economies.
