Anti-Obesity Treatments Report - Analysis & Forecasts 2009-2024

Obesity has been described as a 'public health time-bomb'. In 2005, the World Health Organization estimated that approximately 400 million individuals are obese. Prevalence of obesity is rising worryingly in many countries, despite campaigns emphasising the link between being overweight and contracting diabetes. This new report - Anti-Obesity Treatments 2009-2024 – explains those trends in commercial terms. In two of the largest national markets for anti-obesity treatments - the US and UK - over 20% of the population are seriously overweight. Obesity is a major risk factor in a number of other serious disorders, particularly diabetes and heart disease. Importantly, the financial burden of obesity and its associated conditions - both direct and indirect costs - are vast. Obesity is a serious, chronic condition with an emerging market for therapeutic products, as we show in this study. High socioeconomic costs and increasing prevalence are inspiring government initiatives to deal with the problem, with obesity becoming one of the most prominent global health concerns worldwide. Visiongain recognizes the contribution of drugs in this important emerging market, as diet and exercise are frequently not successful alone. We predict that new classes of drugs will invigorate the market - driving total sales in the next decade. In this report you will find out about those treatments, especially their sales potential.

Drug sales in the global anti-obesity market approached $2bn in 2008, with the market to grow substantially over the forecast period 2009-2024. This growth will be associated with a complex environment of label changes, reformulations, patent expiry, OTC switching and new product launches. Those opportunities are highlighted by the extensive R&D pipeline, crowded with novel therapies to improve treatment of obesity. Which new treatments have blockbuster potential? Our report will cover this and other important matters. Importantly, too, prevalence of obesity is rising in Latin America, India and China in particular – important pharmaceutical markets covered here.
