  • Eli Lilly vs Viking Therapeutics: Battle for Weight Loss Drug Market Dominance
    January 26, 2026, 12:23 PM EST. Pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly and biotech firm Viking Therapeutics are both focused on the rapidly growing weight loss drug sector. Lilly's dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, Mounjaro and Zepbound, drove over $10 billion in recent quarterly sales, underscoring the blockbuster success of its injectable drugs. Lilly also has an oral weight loss drug under regulatory review, which could boost its market position. Viking Therapeutics is advancing injectable and oral candidates through phase 2 and 3 trials, showing promising clinical results. With the weight loss drug market expected to reach nearly $100 billion by decade's end, both companies have growth potential. While Lilly dominates current sales, Viking could emerge as a significant player through successful trials or strategic partnerships. Investors eye which stock may become a millionaire-maker amid this competitive, high-demand market.
