Obesity | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2024
Obesity is a significant and growing public health concern in the G7 countries. The body of evidence highlighting the medical and economic impact of obesity on society is steadily increasing. Despite the disease’s prevalence, approved drugs are scarce compared with other chronic metabolic diseases, especially in Europe and Japan. However, the development pipeline is strengthening with novel agents that promise to address some of the limitations of current treatments. There is a huge market opportunity for antiobesity drugs that elicit greater and sustained weight loss and are safe, well tolerated, and affordable. However, given the prevalence of obesity, even if such agents are developed and approved, payers will likely need to restrict their access to limit the strain on finite healthcare budgets.
