Weight Loss Pills to Hit the Market in 2026 – How Much Will They Cost?

Pills for weight loss are expected to be available on the market in 2026, as an alternative to the injections currently available. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are developing these new treatments, which are expected to be more convenient and affordable for many patients. Analysts predict that the pills will capture a significant share of the global weight loss drug market, reaching $22 billion by 2030. Novo Nordisk is expected to receive approval for its semaglutide-based pill by the end of 2025, while Eli Lilly is preparing to submit an application for its own drug. The initial price of the pills is expected to be around $149 per month, lower than the price of injections.
