New Product Launches by Market Players to Drive Diet Pills Market

In terms of the modern healthcare scenario, obesity is a massive concern globally. Obesity can give rise to several other associated chronic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which are the main concerns. Using specific prescription and over-the-counter drugs may help individuals struggling with effective weight management. The medication works in many ways to aid in effective weight management. A few of these diet pills may block fat absorption and suppress the appetite to aid weight management. Hence, increasing prevalence and concerns with obesity are expected to support the growth of the diet pills market during the forecast period.

Following are a few examples of companies that launched new diet pills and developments:

  • In February 2022, Iovate Health Sciences International Inc., under its nationally recognized Hydroxycut weight loss supplement brand, announced a new National US brand campaign, “No Fads. Just Weight Loss.” The campaign aims to highlight a three-step weight-loss journey.
  • In February 2020, VIVUS LLC and Alvogen—a Korean marketing partner, launched Qsymia (phentermine and topiramate extended-release) in the Republic of Korea.

Product launches and collaborations are highly adopted strategies by the global diet pills market players. A few of the recent key market developments are listed below:

  • In December 2021, Pfizer Inc. acquired Arena Pharmaceuticals for ~US$ 6.7 billion to reshape its portfolio of inflammation drugs. Furthermore, Pfizer was uniquely positioned to acquire more assets.
  • In September 2019, Currax Pharmaceuticals LLC acquired Nalpropion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. As a result of this acquisition, Currax owned the worldwide rights to CONTRAVE, which is the number one prescribed weight-loss brand medication in the US.

The companies engaged in the diet pills market witnessed an adverse impact on their services in early 2020 due to the temporary shutdown of their laboratories. However, research laboratories reopened globally after the upliftment of lockdown. As a result, many service providers prioritized a few critical actions of the consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as giving a range of high-quality COVID-19 related research tools; reassigning R&D resources for producing essential products; expanding the supply chain; supporting increased demand for COVID-19-related research products; and entering into discussions and collaborations across the UK, the US, and China concentrated on SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines development. Moreover, sales of dietary supplements for immune health increased after the emergence of the COVID-19 outbreak. Many people hoped that these products might protect consumers against SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce disease severity in COVID-19 patients.

However, the lockdown disrupted the product supply chain and caused problems with raw material collection, thus affecting the market minimally. This pandemic is affecting the operations of the various key players operating in this region
