GLP-1 Market: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, till 2035



GLP-1 Market: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, till 2035 Distribution by Type of Molecule (Biologics and Small Molecules), Active Compound Used (Dulaglutide, Liraglutide, Orforglipron, Retatrutide, Semaglutide, Survodutide, Tirzepatide and Other Active Compounds), Type of GLP-1 Agonist Drugs (Long-acting GLP-1 Agonist and Short-acting GLP-1 Agonist), Type of Agonist (Single-agonist, Dual-agonist and Tri-agonist) Route of Administration (Oral and Parenteral), Target indication (Alzheimer’s Disease, Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, Obesity, Sleep Apnea, Type 2 Diabetes), Geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America), Leading Drug Developers and Sales Forecast

The GLP-1 Market is valued at USD 49.3 billion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period 2024-2035.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications primarily utilized for managing blood sugar levels / glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Further, a few GLP-1 agonists can also help in the treatment of obesity and related heart disease (cardiovascular disease). It is important to mention that, according to a study conducted by Lancet, 42.4% of adult individuals in the US are obese. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4 million people die annually due to obesity. In addition, nearly 530 million global adult population suffer from diabetes, with 98% of those having type 2 diabetes and prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase to nearly 1.3 billion by 2050, making it a significant public health concern. It is worth mentioning that, according to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in 2021.

In recent years, there has been a notable shift in consumer lifestyles driven by the growing influence of social media, celebrity endorsements and direct-to-consumer advertising. This has led to a surge in the demand for weight loss and type 2 diabetes treatment solutions, which is likely to spur innovation and market expansion in this domain. In order to address the increasing demand for type 2 diabetes and body weight management drugs, various initiatives have been undertaken by players to develop drugs for treatment of such indications; of these, GLP-1 agonist drugs have emerged as promising option driven by the significant number of positive clinical trial results, along with continuous research and development efforts.

Over the past few years, a number of GLP-1 drugs targeting obesity and type 2 diabetes have received regulatory approvals globally. In 2024, the FDA approved Wegovy, developed by Novo Nordisk, for the treatment of serious heart problems in adults with obesity or overweight. Given the lucrative potential of these drugs, the GLP-1 market, also known as GLP-1 receptor agonist market, has gained significant attention of both private and public investors leading to the substantial market growth during the forecast period.
