Anti-obesity drugs are intended to reduce or control weight and generally medically prescribed only in cases of morbid obesity. They help reduce cravings and control compulsive eating, especially for sweets and fatty, salty, and high-calorie food products. They can also provide independent health benefits, such as controlling blood pressure, harmful lipid levels, waist circumference, sugar levels and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and minimize the risk of major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and progression of diabetic kidney disease.
Anti-Obesity Drugs Market Trends:
Recent advances in anti-obesity drugs have enabled the potential of attaining clinically significant weight loss among individuals. This, in confluence with the widespread prevalence of obesity on account of sedentary lifestyles, represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition, obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and cancer of the esophagus, colon and rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidney. It can also result in numerous psychological, neurological, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, renal, musculoskeletal, and endocrine diseases. Besides this, sleep deprivation, circadian desynchronization, chronic stress, and the rising use of anti-epileptic and psychotropic drugs may further induce weight gain. This, coupled with the increasing number of approvals of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) that help regulate appetite and food cravings, is fueling the growth of the market. Apart from this, weight loss aids in improving the quality of life, mobility, daily function, and psychological well-being of individuals. This, along with the increasing health consciousness, thriving pharmaceutical industry, and the rising focus on the management of diseases closely integrated with excess body weight, is anticipated to stimulate the growth of the market.
