Biocon aims for high double-digit revenue growth with the global launch of generic weight-loss drugs, including versions of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and liraglutide. The company plans to launch liraglutide in the U.S. in the next financial year and Wegovy in Canada, while being cautious about entering the Indian market due to intense price competition and regulatory hurdles. The global obesity medicines market is projected to reach $150 billion by the early 2030s, with generics expected to be priced significantly lower than original products. Biocon's revenue grew 5.4% in fiscal 2025, with higher quarter-on-quarter growth.
