Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company and a world leader in Obesity and Diabetes care. The Company manufactures and markets pharmaceutical products and services that make a significant difference to patients, the medical profession and society. Headquartered in Denmark, Novo Nordisk employs more than 69,500 employees in around 80 countries, and markets its products in approximately 170 countries. The Company has a broad product portfolio across Obesity and Diabetes care and Rare disease, including a portfolio of glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, and modern and human insulins for the treatment of diabetes. During 2025, there has been continued growth across all therapy areas and in many of the geographic areas in which Novo Nordisk operates. However, due to increased competition in both US and ex-US markets, Novo Nordisk has lost volume market share in the GLP-1 market places for both obesity and diabetes. The Company markets three drugs - Saxenda® and Wegovy®, which is offered in injectable formats and Wegovy® Pill that has recently launched in the first quarter of 2026 - for the treatment of obesity. Novo Nordisk also has a Rare disease portfolio consisting mainly of growth hormone and haemophilia products. On 10 September 2025, Novo Nordisk initiated a company-wide transformation to simplify its organisation, improve the speed of decision-making, and reallocate resources towards the company's growth opportunities in obesity and diabetes, resulting in approximately 9,000 employees being let go globally.
