Some of the key facts of the Obesity Market Report:
The Obesity market size is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2020-2034)
In May 2025, ICON plc (NASDAQ: ICLR), a global leader in clinical research driven by healthcare intelligence, has published the results of a survey involving 155 biotech and pharmaceutical professionals from the US and Europe. The survey focused on multi-indication cardiometabolic research and development (R&D) for therapies targeting obesity and its related conditions. Multi-indication studies refer to clinical trials that evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment across multiple diseases or conditions.
In April 2025, Corxel Pharmaceuticals has obtained clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational new drug (IND) application, allowing the initiation of a randomized Phase II trial in the US for CX11, an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) aimed at treating obesity. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the once-daily therapy in individuals who are overweight or obese. Corxel plans to begin enrolling participants in the second quarter of this year, with topline results anticipated in the first half of 2026.
In March 2025, Zealand Pharma completed enrollment for its global, randomized Phase IIb ZUPREME-1 trial, which is evaluating petrelintide, a long-acting amylin analogue, in people with obesity or overweight and associated comorbidities. This placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-group study aims to compare the once-weekly subcutaneous injection of petrelintide to a placebo in terms of safety, tolerability, and impact on body weight.
In Janaury 2025, Novo Nordisk’s high-dose formulation of Wegovy (semaglutide) has demonstrated enhanced weight loss benefits while maintaining a favorable safety and tolerability profile. In the Phase IIIb STEP UP trial, the 7.2mg dose of Wegovy showed statistically significant and superior weight reduction at week 72. The study involved 1,407 adults with obesity who were randomized to receive once-weekly injections alongside lifestyle modification support.
In January 2025, Viking Therapeutics has initiated a Phase II clinical trial for VK2735, an oral tablet developed to address metabolic conditions like obesity. The VENTURE-Oral Dosing Trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the drug in promoting weight loss over a 13-week period.
In July 2024, Roche announced promising topline results from its ongoing multi-part Phase I clinical trial of CT-996, an oral GLP-1 receptor agonist intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Known as the CT-996-201 trial, this comprehensive, multi-cohort, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study includes both single and multiple ascending dose arms, with two arms already completed. The trial aims to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CT-996 in overweight or obese adults, regardless of their T2D status.
In 2023, the United States held the largest market share for obesity, exceeding USD 2,000 million. This surpassed the market sizes of obesity in comparison to the European Union Four (EU4) countries (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, and Japan.
In June 2024, Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) uncovered the mechanisms by which a specific molecule regulates insulin sensitivity, which could lead to the identification of a new therapeutic target for obesity-related type 2 diabetes.
In 2023, the United States held the largest obesity market share, exceeding USD 2,000 million, surpassing the EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, and Japan.
By the year 2034, it is expected that WEGOVY (Semaglutide) and ZEPBOUND (Tirzepatide) will attain significant market dominance across the seven major markets.
In recent times, there has been an increasing emphasis on the creation of innovative treatments for obesity, which encompass drug combinations like SAXENDA (Liraglutide), XENICAL (Orlistat), WEGOVY (Semaglutide), QYSMIA (Phentermine-Topiramate), among others.
DelveInsight’s estimates suggest that approximately 60% of the total prevalent cases of obesity among adults in the 7 major markets (7MM) were accounted for by the United States in 2023.

The Obesity market is expected to surge due to the disease’s increasing prevalence and awareness during the forecast period. Furthermore, launching various multiple-stage Obesity pipeline products will significantly revolutionize the Obesity market dynamics.
Obesity Overview
Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat accumulation, which can negatively impact health. It is typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a BMI of 30 or higher indicating obesity. This condition increases the risk of various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers. Obesity can result from multiple factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and hormonal imbalances. Effective management includes lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to improve overall health and reduce associated risks.
