Core Viewpoint - The recent price drop of weight loss drugs, particularly the injection of Tirzepatide (Mu Feng Da) and Semaglutide, has led to significant financial losses for early consumers, while intensifying competition between major pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk [1][6][11]. Price War Dynamics - The price of Tirzepatide has decreased dramatically, with the 40mg specification now priced at approximately 1320 yuan, down from 3852 yuan, resulting in a loss of about 5060 yuan for consumers who purchased earlier [1][3]. - Novo Nordisk's Semaglutide has also seen substantial price reductions, with prices for various specifications dropping by nearly 50% [5]. - Both companies are engaging in a price war ahead of the new national medical insurance directory, with pre-sale promotions already underway on platforms like Meituan and JD Health [4][6]. Market Competition - The competition between Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk has intensified, with Semaglutide achieving sales of approximately 167 billion yuan (about 1127.56 million Danish Krone) in the first half of the year, while Tirzepatide's sales reached 85.80 billion yuan [6][8]. - Analysts predict that Tirzepatide may surpass Semaglutide in sales by the end of the year, potentially dethroning it as the "king of drugs" [7]. Future Market Outlook - The weight loss drug market is expected to become increasingly competitive, with projections suggesting it could exceed 100 billion USD by 2030 [8]. - Numerous domestic companies are entering the GLP-1 drug market, with nearly 10 approved products, and many more in the pipeline [8][12]. - The expiration of key patents for Semaglutide in 2026 is anticipated to lead to a surge in generic versions, further intensifying competition [8][12]. Impact on Domestic Drugs - The price reductions of imported weight loss drugs have put significant pressure on domestic alternatives, such as Masitide, which has already seen a price drop of about 15% [11][12]. - Domestic companies are reevaluating their pricing strategies in light of the aggressive pricing from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, which may hinder their profitability [12][13]. - The competitive landscape suggests that unless domestic drugs can secure early approval, they may struggle to gain market share against established players [13].
