Novo Nordisk Plans Multiple Drug Launches Amid Investor Calls for Diversification
Novo Nordisk plans to launch over five blockbuster drugs by 2030, aiming to expand its obesity treatment portfolio and reach 60 million patients globally. The company is preparing for patent expirations of its key drug semaglutide in the early 2030s and is accelerating development of new therapies, including oral obesity pills and zenagamtide. Investors are urging Novo Nordisk to diversify beyond weight-loss drugs into other areas like cardiovascular and rare diseases to sustain growth amid competition from Eli Lilly and patent challenges.
