Prevalence of obesity in the US and Europe has already reached high levels, with obesity being described as an epidemic and a "public health time-bomb". The developing world is also showing rising prevalence of obesity, now considered a serious - even life-threatening - disorder. In this report, we predict that the anti-obesity drug market will exhibit overall growth in worldwide revenues from 2010 to 2025, with new drugs entering the market during those years. Where will the best commercial prospects lie? Our new study provides the answers that you require.
Although sales have been only modest so far, anti-obesity drugs will gradually gain acceptance from prescribers, patients and payers, despite recent set-backs. Countering obesity is a high priority for many governments, with lifestyle changes alone often not providing a reliable solution. The estimated US healthcare costs for obesity are $100bn to $150bn annually, with other leading nations following those trends - most notably the UK.
Our new report - Global Anti-Obesity Treatments Market 2010-2025 - shows that reliance on anti-obesity drugs is increasing, with corresponding gains to the pharmaceutical industry. Though there are therapeutic and marketing difficulties that we believe will cause the market to dip in the short term. However, the anti-obesity drug market should grow again, with stakeholders increasingly accepting improved anti-obesity drugs in years to come. Opportunities will exist for both original-branded and generic products.
