Scaling GLP-1 therapies in India

The rapid rise of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) therapies is reshaping diabetes and obesity management worldwide. As semaglutide patents expire in India, pharmaceutical and MedTech companies face a significant opportunity to scale affordable therapies for millions of patients. However, success depends on more than manufacturing capacity.

Additionally, India represents one of the world's largest growth opportunities for GLP-1 therapies, driven by rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity, increasing patient awareness and upcoming generic market expansion.

Yet challenges remain—maintaining product integrity across complex networks, managing the cold chain for biologics, improving patient usability for self-administered therapies, navigating evolving regulations and building resilient packaging ecosystems for growth.

Our latest whitepaper explores how packaging engineering, device integration, cold-chain logistics and regulatory readiness form the foundation for safe, scalable and sustainable GLP-1 adoption across India's diverse ecosystem.

Key highlights:

  • Understanding India's GLP-1 opportunity
    Explore the market dynamics shaping the next wave of GLP-1 adoption and the factors influencing long-term commercial success.
  • Designing robust packaging systems
