What Is Semaglutide?
The GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide is a revolutionary medication that mimics the human GLP-1 hormone to regulate blood sugar levels and appetite control. The U.S. FDA has approved semaglutide in three different forms:
-
Ozempic® – a weekly injection for type 2 diabetes that also reduces cardiovascular and kidney risks (Drugs.com, Wikipedia).
-
Wegovy® – a weekly injection for weight management, approved for obesity or overweight individuals with additional health conditions (Drugs.com, Wikipedia).
-
Rybelsus® – the first oral semaglutide tablet, taken daily to manage type 2 diabetes (Drugs.com, Mayo Clinic).
In August 2025, the Wegovy® label was expanded to include treatment for metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in patients with moderate to advanced fibrosis (Wikipedia).
How It Works & Key Benefits
Semaglutide decreases appetite, slows digestion, stimulates insulin release, and suppresses glucagon production—leading to both weight loss and better blood sugar control (Drugs.com, Wikipedia).
When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, semaglutide not only enhances weight loss but also helps protect against heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease (Mayo Clinic, Drugs.com).
Side Effects & Safety Warnings
Like all medications, semaglutide has potential side effects. The most common include nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headaches, and fatigue (Drugs.com, Wikipedia).
A boxed warning highlights a risk of thyroid C-cell tumors in animal studies, though the human risk remains uncertain (MedlinePlus, Wikipedia). Patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2 syndrome should not use semaglutide (Wikipedia).
Market Outlook & Price Trajectory
A Rapidly Growing Market
The global semaglutide market is booming. Forecasts predict growth from US$28.4 billion in 2024 to US$93.6 billion by 2035 with a CAGR of 10–10.5% (Grand View Research, GlobeNewswire).
Another report projects expansion from US$27.15 billion in 2024 to US$61.7 billion by 2033 (Yahoo Finance).
Growth is driven by rising obesity and diabetes prevalence, broader approvals, and expanding global adoption (Grand View Research, Ozmosi).
The Generic Wave & Price Drops
Patent expirations are expected to bring generic competition:
-
Canada: Patent expiry in January 2026. Sandoz, Apotex, and others are preparing generics (Wikipedia, Financial Times).
-
Brazil & China: Patents lapse in 2026, with court rulings allowing earlier entry (Wikipedia, Reuters).
-
India: Generics expected by March 2026, potentially lowering prices by up to 80% (The Economic Times).
In Canada, Sandoz has announced price cuts of up to 70%, bringing monthly costs down to US$40–50 versus current levels of US$200–400 (Financial Times).
U.S. Regulatory Price Pressure
The U.S. Medicare program has placed Ozempic® and Wegovy® on its drug price negotiation list, with expected reductions of 25–60% starting in 2027 (Wall Street Journal).
Meanwhile, the FDA’s restrictions on semaglutide compounding have improved supply but still impact market dynamics (Reuters).
