The market for anti-obesity drugs has proved far more difficult to conquer than most companies expected. In 2006, that market segment generated sales of over $1300m worldwide. There have been problems in marketing products, with concerns over safety and efficacy having a negative impact on sales. There have been major disappointments, but important commercial opportunities remain.
 
Visiongain predicts that the anti-obesity market will exhibit strong growth in revenues from 2007-2012, with significant investments being made by far-sighted companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Although sales have been only modest so far, anti-obesity drugs will increasingly gain acceptance from stakeholders in healthcare. High revenues should then be possible over the coming years, with at least one blockbuster product emerging by 2012.
 
The period 2007-2012 is a very exciting and decisive period in the development of anti-obesity drugs. Some experts predict that anti-obesity drugs will eventually work as reliably as anti-hypertensives and lipid regulators. There are significant opportunities for companies in providing safe and effective drugs that help patients with short- and long-term weight loss/management. Far-sighted companies are already investing in the high potential of the anti-obesity market.
 
Clearly, obesity is going to remain a leading health problem for decades to come. It is inevitable, however, that progress will be made in treating that often-recalcitrant condition. There lies one of the most important challenges for the pharmaceutical industry, in conjunction with healthcare authorities, since the lives of millions depend upon progress in treatments.
