The Challenge: A Growing Healthcare Crisis
Global Obesity Epidemic
The global prevalence of obesity is expected to rise from 14% of the world's population in 2020 to 25% by 2035, or 1.9 billion people. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2025, the number of adults living with obesity is projected to more than double between 2010 and 2030, rising from 524 million to 1.13 billion worldwide. This unprecedented growth represents one of the most significant public health challenges of our time.
Economic Impact
This dramatic trend has a huge economic impact, estimated at $4 trillion in 2035 or 2.9% of global GDP, as a result of higher healthcare cost and lost economic productivity. The financial burden on healthcare systems continues to escalate, demanding innovative and cost-effective solutions.
Treatment Gaps
The growing awareness of obesity as a chronic condition requiring medical intervention has led to increased demand for effective pharmacological treatments. The market is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing burden of obesity-related diseases and the need for effective weight management solutions. Despite recent advances, significant gaps remain in providing comprehensive, sustainable treatment options.
Market Opportunity: A Transforming Landscape
Unprecedented Growth
Morgan Stanley Research now estimates the global market for obesity drugs could reach $150 billion at its peak in 2035, an increase from a previous forecast of $105 billion. The market, valued at USD 26.3 billion in 2024, is projected to reach USD 412.9 billion by 2034, reflecting a strong 31.7% CAGR.
Expanding Patient Population
About 11% of the global eligible population of 1.3 billion people could be on obesity drugs, including 20% of eligible patients in the U.S. and 10% in other countries. This represents a massive and underserved patient population seeking effective treatments.
Innovation Pipeline
More than 80 molecules are currently in development for obesity, with over 25 companies testing GLP-1s either as monotherapies or in combination with other agents. More than 80 obesity drugs are currently in the pipeline, with a strong emphasis on GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Technology Integration
The market growth over the next decade is likely to be driven by rising obesity rates, increased public awareness and heightened regulatory support for innovative treatments and the integration of AI and telehealth services for implementation of effective obesity management strategies. Digital health solutions are creating new pathways for patient care and treatment delivery.
