Competitor Analysis: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists

The Competitive Intelligence Report Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists as of August 2014 provides a competitor analysis in the development pipeline of novel GLP-1 analogs and GLP-1 receptor agonists and co-agonists for treatment of diabetes and obesity.

In the year 2013, the marketed daily and weekly GLP-1 agonists achieved combined sales of US$ 3,231 mln representing 6.3% of the total diabetes care market. The leading GLP-1 analog Victoza held 69% of the GLP-1 market and is further expanding its predominance in the first half of 2014 with a 72% share of the GLP-1 market which grew to 6.9% of the total diabetes care market.
The increasingly attractive GLP-1 market provides an opportunity of application of new technologies to prolong the half-life of GLP-1 analogs as well as finding co-agonists of GLP-1 receptor with additional receptors, such as insulin, glucagon, GIP, gastrin or GLP-1. In addition, expansion of indications for GLP-1 analogs will contribute to further expand the GLP-1 market.

The report provides a compilation of current active projects in research and development of novel GLP-1 analogs and GLP-1 receptor agonists as well as co-agonists. Competitor projects are listed in a tabular format providing information on:

• Drug Codes,
• Target / Mechanism of Action,
• Class of Compound,
• Company,
• Product Category,
• Indication,
• R&D Stage and
• additional comments with a hyperlink leading to the source of information.
