According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 billion individuals are suffering from obesity, worldwide; of these, 650 million individuals are adults. It is estimated that 4 million people die annually due to obesity. In addition, a recent study indicates that close to 530 million adult population suffers from diabetes globally; of these, 98% of the population is expected to have type 2 diabetes. Considering the growing burden of obesity and diabetes, there has been a rise in the need for safe and effective medications. As a result, various companies have started developing and evaluating potential candidates targeting these indications.
In the recent past, GLP-1 drugs have emerged as a promising option. It is worth highlighting that 15 GLP-1 drugs have been commercialized for targeting various indications. Additionally, more than 135 drug candidates are currently being evaluated across various phases of development. Driven by the new drug approvals (for different applications), and extensive R&D efforts of the companies (to enhance delivery mechanisms of GLP-1 drugs), the market is anticipated to witness steady growth in the coming decade.
The report delves into the current state of the GLP-1 market and identifies potential growth opportunities within the industry. Some key findings from the report include:
Currently, Small Molecules Occupy the Largest Share of the GLP-1 Market
Based on the type of molecule, the market is segmented into biologics and small molecules. At present, the small molecules segment holds the maximum share of the GLP-1 market. It is worth highlighting that owing to the unique physiological properties of biologics, including stability, specificity, selectivity and ability to block specific protein-protein interactions, the biologics segment is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR.
Survodutide Active Compound is the Fastest Growing Segment of the GLP-1 Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the active compound, the market is segmented into dulaglutide, liraglutide, orforglipron, retatrutide, semaglutide, survodutide, tirzepatide and other active compounds. At present, semaglutide holds the maximum share of the GLP-1 market. Further, it is worth highlighting that survodutide is likely to drive the market in the near future.
Currently, Long-Acting GLP-1 Agonists Occupy the Largest Share of the GLP-1 Market
Based on the type of GLP-1 agonists drugs, the market is segmented into short-acting GLP-1 agonist and long-acting GLP-1 agonist. At present, long-acting GLP-1 agonist holds the maximum share of the GLP-1 market and this trend is likely to remain the same in the forthcoming years. This can be attributed to the fact that the effect of the long-acting drug lasts longer than that of short-acting agonists. It is worth highlighting that short-acting GLP-1 agonist segment is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR.
At Present, Single-agonist Segment Occupies the Largest Share of the GLP-1 Market
Based on the type of GLP-1 agonist, the market is segmented into single-agonist, dual-agonist and tri-agonist. Currently, the single-agonist segment holds the maximum share of the GLP-1 market. It is worth highlighting that tri-agonist segment is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR.
Oral Route of Administration is the Fastest Growing Segment in the GLP-1 Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the route of administration, the market is segmented into oral route and parenteral route. At present, the parenteral route holds a larger share of the GLP-1 market. This trend is likely to remain the same in the coming decade. Further, it is worth noting that oral route of administration is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR.
Type 2 Diabetes Accounts for the Largest Share of the GLP-1 Market
Based on the target indication, the market is segmented into Alzheimer's Disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, obesity, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes. While type 2 diabetes account for a relatively higher market share, it is worth highlighting that the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis segment is expected to witness substantial market growth in the coming years.
North America Accounts for the Largest Share of the Market
Based on key geographical regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. It is worth highlighting that, over the years, the market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a higher CAGR.
