China's GLP-1 Weight-Loss Market Faces Rising Price Competition -- Market Talk

2025/12/16

1000 GMT - Pricing competition in China's GLP-1 weight-loss drug market is expected to heat up, HSBC analysts say in a note. The inclusion of Eli Lilly's tirzepatide treatment in China's national reimbursement drug list was a surprise to the market and raises concerns about the sales outlook of Innovent's mazdutide drug, they say. A price cut for GLP-1 drugs will quickly raise market penetration as the treatments only received approval in China in 2025. However, given there are multiple domestic GLP-1 treatments in the pipeline, a more aggressive pricing strategy may hurt sales for all drugmakers, they add. HSBC awaits more updates from China's oral GLP-1 developers, including Ascletis and Hengrui. The bank maintains a buy call on Innovent and hold ratings on Livzon and Fosun Pharma.
