Some of the key facts of the Obesity Market Report:

• In 2023, the United States dominated the obesity market size, with revenues exceeding USD 2,000 million, surpassing other 7MM countries. The obesity market is expected to expand at a robust CAGR over the study period from 2020 to 2034.

• In December 2025, Novo Nordisk announced that it has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the US FDA for once-weekly CagriSema, a fixed-dose injectable combination of cagrilintide 2.4 mg and semaglutide 2.4 mg. The therapy is intended for use alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to support long-term weight loss and maintenance in adults with obesity or overweight who have at least one weight-related comorbidity. CagriSema combines a long-acting amylin analogue with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and if approved, it would represent the first injectable treatment to integrate these two mechanisms in a single formulation.

• In May 2025, ICON plc (NASDAQ: ICLR), a global leader in clinical research driven by healthcare intelligence, has published the results of a survey involving 155 biotech and pharmaceutical professionals from the US and Europe. The survey focused on multi-indication cardiometabolic research and development (R&D) for therapies targeting obesity and its related conditions. Multi-indication studies refer to clinical trials that evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment across multiple diseases or conditions.

• In April 2025, Corxel Pharmaceuticals has obtained clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational new drug (IND) application, allowing the initiation of a randomized Phase II trial in the US for CX11, an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) aimed at treating obesity. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the once-daily therapy in individuals who are overweight or obese. Corxel plans to begin enrolling participants in the second quarter of this year, with topline results anticipated in the first half of 2026.

• In March 2025, Zealand Pharma completed enrollment for its global, randomized Phase IIb ZUPREME-1 trial, which is evaluating petrelintide, a long-acting amylin analogue, in people with obesity or overweight and associated comorbidities. This placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-group study aims to compare the once-weekly subcutaneous injection of petrelintide to a placebo in terms of safety, tolerability, and impact on body weight.

• In January 2025, Novo Nordisk’s high-dose formulation of Wegovy (semaglutide) has demonstrated enhanced weight loss benefits while maintaining a favorable safety and tolerability profile. In the Phase IIIb STEP UP trial, the 7.2mg dose of Wegovy showed statistically significant and superior weight reduction at week 72. The study involved 1,407 adults with obesity who were randomized to receive once-weekly injections alongside lifestyle modification support.

• In January 2025, Viking Therapeutics has initiated a Phase II clinical trial for VK2735, an oral tablet developed to address metabolic conditions like obesity. The VENTURE-Oral Dosing Trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the drug in promoting weight loss over a 13-week period.

• In July 2024, Roche announced promising topline results from its ongoing multi-part Phase I clinical trial of CT-996, an oral GLP-1 receptor agonist intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Known as the CT-996-201 trial, this comprehensive, multi-cohort, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study includes both single and multiple ascending dose arms, with two arms already completed. The trial aims to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CT-996 in overweight or obese adults, regardless of their T2D status.

• According to DelveInsight, the United States represented approximately 60% of total adult obesity cases across the 7MM in 2023, with obesity prevalence among US adults continuing to show an upward trend.

• According to DelveInsight, the largest share of obesity cases in 2023 was seen among adults aged over 19 years and children aged 5–19 years, with case numbers in both age groups expected to increase at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period.

• Recently, increased attention has been directed toward the development of novel obesity therapies, including combination treatments such as SAXENDA (liraglutide), XENICAL (orlistat), WEGOVY (semaglutide), and QYSMIA (phentermine–topiramate), among others.

• According to DelveInsight, the United States accounted for nearly 60% of total adult obesity cases across the 7MM in 2023. In recent years, growing focus has been placed on developing innovative obesity treatments, including combination and advanced therapies such as SAXENDA (liraglutide), XENICAL (orlistat), WEGOVY (semaglutide), QYSMIA (phentermine–topiramate), among others.

• The obesity market landscape is expected to change as companies globally intensify efforts to develop novel drug therapies for the treatment of obesity and overweight conditions.

• Key players such as Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, Boehringer Ingelheim, and others are developing innovative therapies focused on treating overweight and obesity, with the goal of enabling more effective and sustainable weight management.

• By the year 2034, it is expected that WEGOVY (Semaglutide) and ZEPBOUND (Tirzepatide) will attain significant market dominance across the seven major markets.

• Key Obesity Companies: Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelhium, D&D Pharmatech, ProQR Therapeutics, Nano Precision Medical, Bukwang Pharmaceutical, Caliway Biopharmaceutics, Yuhan, Terns Pharmaceuticals, BioRestorative Therapies, SCOHIA PHARMA, Click Therapeutics, Hanmi Pharmaceuticals, Novo Nordisk, Empros Pharma, Carmot Therapeutics, Eli Lilly and Company, and others

• Key Obesity Therapies: IMCIVREE (setmelanotide), ZEPBOUND (tirzepatide), Semaglutide oral, Survodutide (BI 456906), DD03, AX-0601, NPM 139, BK-1701, CBW-520, YH34160, TERN-601, Thermostem, SCO-267, CT-181, HM15136, NNC0480-0389, EMP-16, CT-868, Semaglutide, and others

• The Obesity market is expected to surge due to the disease's increasing prevalence and awareness during the forecast period. Furthermore, launching various multiple-stage Obesity pipeline products will significantly revolutionize the Obesity market dynamics.

Obesity Overview

Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat accumulation, which can negatively impact health. It is typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a BMI of 30 or higher indicating obesity. This condition increases the risk of various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers. Obesity can result from multiple factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and hormonal imbalances. Effective management includes lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to improve overall health and reduce associated risks.
