In 2020, global spending on anti-obesity medications (AOMs) stood at approximately US$3 billion. By 2024, that figure had soared to US$30+ billion - a more than  tenfold increase in just four years. Given the current trend and the pace of innovation in the disease area, the market is expected to sustain its explosive growth well into the future. Between 2024 and 2034, the global AOM market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13–15% and the total market size is expected to reach  approximately US$130 billion. Biologics are leading the way in the obesity drug market, with GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists holding the major share. However, non-biologics are expected to regain some market share in the forecast period as the market diversifies and new treatment options emerge.
