Novo Nordisk seeks turnaround after market share loss to Eli Lilly in obesity care
What happened
Novo Nordisk is attempting to regain investor confidence after losing its leadership position in obesity care to Eli Lilly and Company. The company outlined a strategic plan to launch more than five “multi-blockbusters” by 2030, aiming for over $23 billion in annual sales by 2035. This plan follows a period where Novo Nordisk lost more than two-thirds of its value.

Why it matters
The market share erosion has been driven by Eli Lilly and Company's dual-acting medication, Zepbound. Trial data suggests Zepbound spurs more weight loss than Novo Nordisk's Wegovy, a claim Novo Nordisk has contested.
