Challenging the monopoly of Europe and America, Chinese and Indian manufacturers have laid out the track of diet pills. For some time, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide -1) diet pills have caught fire in the United States and other western countries, and gradually marched into emerging markets. At present, two major pharmaceutical companies, Novo Nordisk in Denmark and Lilly in the United States, occupy most of the market share in the field of GLP-1 diet pills, but other pharmaceutical companies are also actively deploying the track. In 2026, Novo Nordisk's patent on smeagoutide will expire in China and India, while the patent on liraglutide, the main effective ingredient of the previous generation of GLP-1 diet pills, has expired in China and India. The industry believes that China and India, as two emerging markets, have a strong momentum of innovation and development in the pharmaceutical industry of both countries, and have great potential in the GLP-1 diet pills track. The entry of Chinese and Indian pharmaceutical companies will make the international competition in the field of GLP-1 diet pills more intense.
