AbbVie is expanding its presence in the obesity treatment market by leveraging Gubra's weight-loss drug, GUBamy, which mimics the hormone amylin. This drug aims to provide an alternative to GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound, focusing on better tolerability and durability of weight loss. AbbVie believes its existing aesthetics business positions it well, as patients seeking cosmetic treatments are also interested in weight loss solutions. The obesity drug market is projected to reach $150 billion in annual sales within the next decade.
