Market Dynamics

An Increase in the Incidence of Chronic Disorders Drives the Growth of the Weight Loss Therapeutics Market.

Because it is linked to poor mental wellness outcomes and a decreased quality of life, obesity is a severe health problem. Additionally, it has links to various types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other major killers in the US and around the world. One is more prone to have high cholesterol and blood pressure if they are overweight. These two disorders increase the risk of developing heart disease or stroke.

The likelihood of having heart disease or a stroke can be decreased by losing a small amount of weight. Eight out of ten individuals with type 2 diabetes are obese or overweight. Eventually, high blood sugar causes other health issues such as nerve damage, vision problems, renal disease, heart disease, and stroke. Hence, the growing number of chronic disorders is driving the weight loss therapeutics market.

The Change in Food Habits and Lifestyle Creates Lucrative Opportunities for Manufacturers

Due to advancing technologies and changes in lifestyle brought on by a changing global environment, there is a growing market opportunity for weight loss therapies. Another factor driving the weight loss treatments market is the increasing prevalence of numerous illnesses among adults, such as diabetes and obesity. The rising rates of obesity and overweight in Australia are a result of a global trend.

Today, up to 75% of men, over 50% of women, and about 25% of kids and teenagers are considered overweight or obese. The environment and evolving lifestyles undoubtedly have a big impact now that high-energy meals are widely accessible and physical activity is no longer required. As an outcome, obesity and the health issues it causes have unfortunately become all too frequent in Australians.

Side Effects Associated with Weightloss Drugs Will Hamper the Growth of the Market

For optimal results, weight reduction drugs are used with a low-calorie diet and an exercise program that has been approved by a doctor. However, unless diet and exercise are continued, people may gain back part of the weight they lost after they stop using weight reduction medications.

Some patients find that intensive behavioral therapy is insufficient to help them lose weight. They also struggle with additional concerns that are related to their weight. These can include hormonal issues or weight issue that has genetic roots. Hence these above mentioned factors are limiting the weight loss therapeutics market's growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The financial health of companies across all industries has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in numerous nations throughout the world. Therefore, for the period of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidelines that include general considerations to aid sponsors and researchers, ensuring the safety of trial participants, adhering to good clinical practice (GCP), and minimizing risks to trial integrity.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is estimated to have a low impact on the global weight loss therapeutics market, owing to the low number of key market players in this region. However, the impact of the import and export of raw materials is expected to have little influence over the global weight loss therapeutics market growth over the forecast period.
