The orlistat market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is expected to result from rising healthcare expenditures on obesity treatments, sedentary lifestyles combined with poor eating habits, government initiatives encouraging weight loss and healthy living, an aging population, and the shift from prescriptions to over-the-counter options. Key trends for this period include AI-powered diet plans, telehealth services, automated devices for medication reminders and adherence tracking, virtual reality workouts, and digital therapeutics.
The growth of the orlistat market is expected to be driven by the increasing rates of obesity. Obesity, a condition marked by excessive body fat that adversely affects health, is commonly defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. The rise in obesity is linked to factors such as poor dietary habits, insufficient physical activity, and sedentary lifestyles. Orlistat aids in managing obesity by blocking the absorption of dietary fats, thus helping in weight reduction and maintenance when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported in March 2022 that over 1 billion people worldwide were affected by obesity, including 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents, and 39 million children. This number is expected to increase, with projections indicating that by 2025, around 167 million people, including both adults and children, will face worsening health issues due to obesity. This rising prevalence of obesity is driving demand for orlistat.
Companies in the orlistat market are focusing on developing innovative weight loss drugs to enhance personal health and comfort. These drugs are designed to help individuals reduce weight by suppressing appetite, boosting metabolism, or blocking fat absorption. For example, in November 2023, Eli Lilly and Company, a US-based pharmaceutical firm, received FDA approval for Zepbound (tirzepatide) injection, a new weight loss drug. Zepbound is unique as it is the first treatment approved to activate two incretin hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1, targeting a fundamental cause of excess weight. It is intended for use alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for managing chronic weight in adults with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m²) who also have at least one weight-related condition.
In August 2023, Eli Lilly and Company acquired Versanis Bio for $1.93 billion. This acquisition expands Lilly's portfolio to include Versanis' leading asset, bimagrumab, which is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b study, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with semaglutide for overweight and obese adults. Versanis Bio Inc., based in the US, is a biotech company developing treatments for conditions related to overweight and obesity.

Orlistat is a drug designed to assist in weight loss by blocking the absorption of fats from food, which leads to a decrease in calorie intake. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme lipase, which is crucial for digesting dietary fats in the intestine. This medication is usually prescribed for people who are obese or overweight and is most effective when used alongside a low-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Orlistat is available in two main dosages as 120 milligrams (mg) and 60 milligrams (mg). The 120 mg dose is specifically used to support weight loss in obese individuals by preventing the absorption of dietary fats. It is generally taken three times daily with meals that contain fat. This medication can be obtained from various sources, including hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies, and retail pharmacies, and is used primarily for weight management.
