Sedentary Lifestyle and Elevated Stress Levels: Driving the Obesity

The growing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and elevated stress levels is significantly driving the expansion of the obesity market. Rapid urbanization and the increasing adoption of desk-bound jobs have contributed to reduced physical activity, leading to weight gain and obesity. Additionally, the rise of digital entertainment and prolonged screen time has further diminished active lifestyles. Stress, fuelled by fast-paced modern living and work pressures, triggers emotional eating and the consumption of high-calorie, comfort foods. This behavioral pattern accelerates weight gain. Hormonal changes associated with chronic stress, particularly elevated cortisol levels, also contribute to fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area. The combined impact of inactivity and stress-related eating habits is escalating obesity rates. This has increased the demand for weight management solutions, including diet plans, fitness programs, and medical interventions. Consequently, the obesity market is witnessing growth in products and services aimed at combating obesity, such as dietary supplements, fitness equipment, and bariatric surgeries. Moreover, healthcare providers and governments are investing in awareness campaigns and preventive measures, which are further fuelling market expansion. The growing health risks associated with obesity, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, are also driving individuals to seek weight management solutions. As sedentary lifestyles and stress levels continue to rise, the obesity market is expected to grow steadily.

Advancement of Innovative Therapies and Pharmacological Treatments: Driving Market Growth

The development of novel therapies and pharmacological treatments is playing a crucial role in expanding the obesity treatment market. Breakthroughs in drug discovery, particularly with GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide, are showing remarkable efficacy in promoting weight loss by regulating appetite and glucose metabolism. These advancements are driving increased investment from pharmaceutical companies eager to tap into the rising demand for effective obesity management solutions. Moreover, continuous research into combination therapies and personalized medicine is further fuelling market growth by catering to varied patient needs. Regulatory approvals for innovative anti-obesity drugs in key markets, including the U.S. and Europe, are accelerating their commercial availability. In addition, strategic alliances and partnerships between pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and research institutions are supporting rapid product development and market expansion. Consequently, the obesity treatment market is on a strong growth trajectory in the coming years.

Emerging Therapies in Obesity Market

AMG-133 (Maridebart cafraglutide): Amgen
AMG-133 (Maridebart cafraglutide) is an investigational antibody-peptide conjugate developed by Amgen for the treatment of obesity. It combines the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor activation and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor antagonism to promote weight loss. Administered via subcutaneous injection, it is designed to enhance insulin secretion, reduce appetite, and slow gastric emptying, with the potential for sustained weight reduction in individuals with obesity or overweight.

CT 388: Carmot Therapeutics
CT-388 is an investigational dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist developed by Carmot Therapeutics for the treatment of obesity. It aims to improve glycemic control, enhance weight loss, and reduce appetite by targeting both receptors involved in energy regulation. The drug is designed to stimulate insulin secretion while increasing energy expenditure and fat utilization, offering a promising approach to addressing obesity-related metabolic disorders.

LY3502970 (Orforglipron): Eli Lilly and Company
LY3502970 (Orforglipron) is an investigational oral GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of obesity. It aims to provide an effective, non-injectable alternative to current weight loss treatments by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing appetite, and improving metabolic health. Orforglipron is designed to help individuals with overweight or obese achieve significant and sustainable weight loss.

Amycretin: Novo Nordisk
Amycretin, developed by Novo Nordisk, is an investigational drug designed to treat obesity. It is an unimolecular GLP-1 and amylin receptor agonist intended for once-weekly subcutaneous administration.

Recent Developments in Obesity Market:
1. In February 2025, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) introduced a new collection of resources to improve care for people living with obesity. This initiative is part of a nationwide collaboration between Lilly and the ADA, focused on eliminating the stigma around obesity and promoting compassionate, stigma-free care.
2. In January 2025, Novo Nordisk revealed the topline results from a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of amycretin, a unimolecular GLP-1 and amylin receptor agonist designed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration. The trial, involving 125 individuals with overweight or obesity, assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and proof-of-concept of amycretin. It was a combined study, consisting of single and multiple ascending doses, as well as a dose-response evaluation, testing three different maintenance doses over a treatment period of up to 36 weeks.
3. In November 2024, Amgen shared positive results from a double-blind, dose-ranging Phase 2 study of MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide, formerly known as AMG 133), an investigational antibody-peptide conjugate given through subcutaneous injection on a monthly or less frequent basis. The study found that, after 52 weeks, participants with obesity or overweight but without Type 2 diabetes experienced an average weight loss of up to about 20%, indicating the possibility of continued weight loss beyond the 52-week mark.
4. In October 2024, VIVUS LLC announced that the FDA had approved a change to the labelling of QSYMIA (phentermine and topiramate extended-release capsules CIV). The update removed specific body mass index (BMI) criteria and revised warnings and precautions, including those related to increased heart rate, the risk of hypoglycemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes using anti-diabetic medications, and the potential for low blood pressure in people on antihypertensive treatments.
