The report will help market leaders/new entrants by providing the closest approximations of the revenue numbers for the overall GLP-1 agonists market and its subsegments. It will also help stakeholders better understand the competitive landscape and gain more insights to position their business better and make suitable go-to-market strategies. This report will enable stakeholders to understand the market’s pulse and provide them with information on the key market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges.

The GLP-1 agonists market has expanded rapidly due to several key drivers. One prominent factor is the growing number of new indication approvals for GLP-1 drugs by regulatory agencies. These approvals extend the uses of GLP-1 agonists beyond initial indications, allowing for treatments in broader patient populations, including newer indications such as cardiovascular conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and obesity.

The rising prevalence of these chronic conditions globally further supports strong market growth, as more patients require effective therapies for diabetes and obesity. In parallel, GLP-1 agonists offer proven clinical benefits such as improved glycemic control and significant weight reduction, increasing their adoption rates among healthcare providers.

The patented products segment accounted for the largest share of the GLP-1 agonists market by type in 2024.

Based on type, the GLP-1 agonists market is segmented into patented products and biosimilars. In 2024, the patented products accounted for the largest share of the market. As biosimilars are expected to gain adoption post-2026, patented products currently account for the complete market. However, with the semaglutide patent expiring in 2026 onwards, the market for biosimilars is expected to grow significantly thereafter.

Patented GLP-1 agonists dominate prescribing patterns due to their robust clinical data, extensive safety profiles, and premium marketing investments. Additionally, the original GLP-1 makers have established broad insurance coverage, ensuring patient access despite high list prices. These factors are expected to support market growth.

By end user, the home-care settings and fitness/ weight management facilities accounted for the largest share in the GLP-1 agonists market in 2024.

Based on end user, the GLP-1 agonists market is segmented into home-care settings and fitness/ weight management facilities, long-term care facilities, and hospitals & specialty clinics. In 2024, the home-care settings and fitness/weight management facilities segment accounted for the largest share of the GLP-1 agonists market. The large share of this end-user segment can be attributed to the evolving patient needs and broader trends in obesity and diabetes management.

Home care settings offer convenience and flexible dosing schedules for patients, especially as most GLP-1 therapies are available in easy-to-administer, subcutaneous or oral formats. This increases patient adherence, with many preferring to self-administer medications, particularly for long-term therapies targeting obesity and type 2 diabetes. The spike in obesity prevalence and the mainstreaming of preventive health have also made GLP-1 usage in home environments much more common, driving share growth in this segment.

The US dominated the GLP-1 agonists market in 2024.

In 2024, the US dominated the GLP-1 agonists market due to a convergence of demographic, healthcare, regulatory, and commercial factors. The US has one of the highest prevalence rates globally for both obesity and type 2 diabetes, which significantly expands the patient pool eligible for GLP-1 treatment. Advanced healthcare infrastructure and widespread physician awareness ensure swift adoption of new therapies, while robust insurance coverage and reimbursement help broad patient access.
