GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Market size was evaluated to be around USD 22.4 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to exhibit sustainable growth at a CAGR of around 9.6% during the forecast period, i.e., from 2023 to 2032. The growth is attributed primarily to factors such increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, increasing R&D activities for developing novel therapeutics, advancement in formulation of oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, and increasing awareness about diagnosis and treatment option for diabetes.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists bind and activate the GLP-1 receptor, stimulating glucose-dependent insulin release from the pancreatic islets and slowing gastric emptying. GLP-1 is an important gut-derived hormone that enhances insulin secretion. In the presence of elevated glucose, it increases glucose-dependent insulin synthesis and the in vivo secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. In addition to this, GLP-1 suppresses glucagon secretion, reduces food intake via the reduction of appetite, and promotes beta cell proliferation.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are one of the antidiabetics and are suitable initial therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes and those who are at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to these, it can be used as an initial therapy for high-risk heart failure or chronic kidney disease. GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies facilitate restoring insulin secretory functions, improving glycemic control, and reducing weight in type 2 diabetes patients.
