Novo Nordisk's Cardiometabolic Innovation Supports a Wide Moat

Karen Andersen

As a pioneer in diabetes care, Novo has been in the business for over 85 years and claims 34% of the $50 billion-plus diabetes treatment market and roughly half of the more than $15 billion insulin market. Diabetes' prevalence is expected to soar in coming decades as a result of an increasingly overweight and aging population, and we expect Novo to maintain its wide moat as it continues to dominate in diabetes and obesity therapy innovation.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Novo's new obesity therapy Wegovy is significantly expanding the obesity treatment market given its strong efficacy and is poised to remain a key drug in the market until patent expiration in 2032.

Bears

Tresiba's strong profile in the long-acting insulin market hasn't been enough to defend it from U.S. pricing pressure due to competition from Sanofi and Lilly, and biosimilar insulins have weighed on category pricing since 2017.
