Latin America Anti-Obesity Drugs Market Analysis

Obesity is a growing problem globally and is significantly contributing to high rates of health issues. Therefore, battling this condition is a major necessity of the hour. The Latin American region is facing major health issues related to obesity among children, teenagers, and adults. In August 2023, UNICEF released a report which highlighted that more than 4 million children aged 5 years or less were overweight in Latin American and Caribbean region.

Latin America anti-obesity drugs market share is estimated to be influenced by the approval of drugs by regional regulatory authorities. For instance, in December 2019, Medix, a Mexican pharmaceutical company submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Mexican Food and Drug Administration COFEPRIS (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios) for the approval of tesofensine (a monoamine uptake inhibitor), which can be used for treating obesity in patients. Tesofensine has demonstrated effective loss results in phase II studies in obese patients. After a long wait, on February 26, 2023, the tesofensine was provided a favourable opinion by the Mexican regulatory authority for the treatment of obese patients. Considering the efficacy provided by tesofensine in the clinical trial, a potential interest from both healthcare providers and patients is anticipated, propelling the market growth. The competitive landscape is also expected to be driven by the approval of tesofensine.

Latin America anti-obesity drugs market demand is likely to be propelled by the alarmingly increasing obesity rates. It has been highlighted that the current prevalence rate in Latin America is above the global average, and it has been rising over the last two decades at a sustained rate. Additionally, it contributes to various other health concerns such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. Addressing obesity among people at early stages is a major precaution that can play a crucial role in timely treatments and overall increased the life expectancy of obese population in the region.
