GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drug Market to Expand Globally Amid Growing Demand and Challenges

Analysed 23 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Business
GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drug Market to Expand Globally Amid Growing Demand and ChallengesPreviousNext

The GLP-1 weight-loss drug market in China, India, and Brazil is projected to grow from $6.6 billion to $22 billion by 2035, driven by rising diabetes and obesity rates, improved affordability, and wider access, according to JP Morgan. While uptake remains low in some regions due to cost and cultural factors, companies like L'Oreal are adapting skincare products to address side effects from rapid weight loss. Meanwhile, in the US, increased use of GLP-1 drugs has led some users to turn to dietary supplements, raising concerns among doctors and regulators about their regulation and safety.
