GLP-1 sales
GLP-1 revenue: 2025 baseline and outlook
Global GLP-1 revenue reached an estimated $79 billion in 2025. The United States accounted for approximately 69% of combined Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly GLP-1 sales. Published 2030 forecasts range from $114 billion (Goldman Sachs, obesity only) to $200 billion (J.P. Morgan, all incretins); the gap reflects differences in scope more than in growth assumptions.

GLP-1 sales by region
US dollars. Hover a country for its region and total.
Novo Nordisk $22.5B plus Eli Lilly about $27.1B (Mounjaro and Zepbound). About 69% of the two companies' GLP-1 sales.
Novo Nordisk only (its EUCAN region). Lilly does not report sales by region outside the US.
Novo Nordisk only: Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, as grouped here.
Novo Nordisk only (its APAC region).
Novo Nordisk only (Region China). Mounjaro was added to China's national reimbursement list, but Lilly gives no China figure.
Mounjaro and Zepbound sales outside the US, not split by region, so not shown on the map.
Neither company reports sales by country, so the map uses Novo Nordisk's reporting regions; outside the US it shows Novo only. Region borders are approximate: Russia, Central Asia and South and Southeast Asia are left grey because we could not confirm which region they fall in. Converted at DKK 6.62 to the dollar, Novo's 2025 average. Lilly's US and ex-US totals are summed from its quarterly releases and rounded.
By company
Lilly passed Novo in 2025
GLP-1 sales in 2025, US against the rest of the world, in billions of US dollars.
Lilly sells more in the US; Novo still sells more abroad, where Ozempic and Wegovy launched earlier.
After 2025
Projections to 2030 and 2035
Each forecast measures something slightly different, so read the labels. The hollow dot is Goldman Sachs' earlier estimate, raised as pills went mass market.
Falling prices are the main swing factor: Goldman Sachs cut its US cash-price assumption by 20% in June 2026 and still raised its total, because more people are expected to start treatment, especially on pills.
