Weight loss has taken center stage on Wall Street, after the mega successes of Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro. In 2023, Ozempic and obesity formulation Wegovy, generated a whopping $18.4 billion for Novo Nordisk, or over half of the company’s total revenue. Eli Lilly’s newer drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound brought in $5.2 billion in total. Wall Street analysts are projecting even greater sales from these weight loss treatments in 2024, which is drawing investor interest to the aesthetics and weight loss market.
