Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone derived from amino acids and produced in the L-cells of the intestinal epithelial endocrine. This hormone is employed in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
The primary product types of glucagon-such as peptide 1 include Trulicity, Ozempic, Victoza, Rybelsus, and others. Trulicity, a prescription medicine administered through injection, is designed to enhance blood sugar levels. Various routes of administration, including oral, parenteral, and others, are utilized in settings such as hospitals, specialty clinics, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the glucagon-like peptide 1 market by increasing costs of imported active pharmaceutical ingredients, peptide synthesis equipment, injection devices, and specialized packaging materials. North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on global pharmaceutical supply chains, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures in export-oriented drug manufacturing. These tariffs are raising production and distribution costs. However, they are also encouraging localized drug manufacturing, regional API production, and strategic partnerships to strengthen domestic pharmaceutical capabilities.
The glucagon-like peptide 1 market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides glucagon-like peptide 1 market statistics, including glucagon-like peptide 1 industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a glucagon-like peptide 1 market share, detailed glucagon-like peptide 1 market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the glucagon-like peptide 1 industry. This glucagon-like peptide 1 market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The glucagon-like peptide 1 market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.06 billion in 2025 to $23.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of diabetes, rising obesity rates globally, growing acceptance of injectable peptide therapies, expansion of endocrinology treatment options, availability of branded glp-1 drugs.
The glucagon-like peptide 1 market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for weight management therapies, rising investments in peptide drug innovation, expansion of oral peptide delivery technologies, growing focus on chronic disease management, increasing adoption of personalized medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of GLP-1 therapies for obesity management, increasing development of oral glp-1 formulations, growing focus on long-acting peptide drugs, expansion of combination therapy approaches, enhanced patient-centric drug delivery systems.
Increasing focus on personalized medicine is anticipated to drive the growth of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) market in the coming years. Personalized medicine involves using knowledge of an individual's genes or proteins to prevent, detect, or treat diseases. It enables the customization of GLP-1 formulations and dosages according to each patient's specific needs and preferences. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients in 2023, compared to six in 2022. The 2023 approvals also included seven cancer drugs and three treatments for other diseases and conditions. This growing emphasis on personalized medicine is thus contributing to the expansion of the GLP-1 market.
Key players in the glucagon-like peptide 1 market are prioritizing technological advancements to improve therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and patient convenience in diabetes care and weight management. GLP-1 therapies are injectable peptide-based drugs that replicate the activity of the body's natural GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite, glucose metabolism, and body weight. For instance, in March 2024, Novo Nordisk A/S, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, launched Wegovy, the first and only once-weekly GLP-1 therapy for weight management. Developed through the STEP Phase 3a clinical trial program, Wegovy demonstrated a safe and well-tolerated profile and is intended to help individuals with obesity achieve and maintain weight loss. By offering a convenient weekly dosing schedule, Wegovy improves patient adherence and addresses the rising demand for innovative and effective obesity treatments.
In March 2024, Novo Holdings A/S, an investment company based in Denmark, acquired Catalent Inc. for $16.5 billion. This acquisition is intended to enhance Novo Holdings' presence in the rapidly growing GLP-1 market by utilizing Catalent's established infrastructure in fill-finish manufacturing. This move aims to increase capacity to meet the rising demand for treatments related to diabetes and weight loss. Catalent Inc. is a biotechnology company located in the United States that specializes in advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for pharmaceuticals.
