The market is expected to witness strong growth through 2032, driven by increasing interest in drugs with multiple administration routes and improved drug efficacy. New GLP-1 receptor agonist formulations, such as once-weekly injectable and oral versions, are gaining traction, improving patient compliance and market reach. Additionally, advancements in research have enabled the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for obesity treatment, which is anticipated to expand their usage beyond diabetes management.
For instance, in October 2024, a retrospective cohort study indicated that women with type 2 diabetes who used GLP-1 receptor agonists had a lower risk of developing new-onset uterine fibroids compared to those taking other antidiabetic drugs. GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with a significantly reduced risk of new fibroid onset compared to metformin, specifically among patients who received at least two doses of medication.
As the healthcare industry adapts to the evolving needs of diabetic and obese patients, the demand for GLP-1 receptor agonists that offer a range of therapeutic options and flexible dosing schedules is expected to drive market growth further.
