Japan’s GLP‑1 segment accounts for about 4.4% of the diabetes drug market, with Victoza maintaining a dominant share of approximately 67% among GLP‑1 therapies. An aging population and widespread physician acceptance drive growth. Comprehensive health insurance and a preference for trusted brands also support adoption. However, growth is restrained by the entry of newer weekly agents like semaglutide. Opportunities lie in Victoza's long-standing safety profile and utility among elderly patients. Trends include growing investment in diabetic care technologies and increased use of fixed-dose injectables in primary care settings, aligning with national strategies for chronic disease management.
