Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company specializing in diabetes care, obesity care, and rare diseases, known for its innovative GLP-1-based treatments.
In the first nine months of 2024, Novo Nordisk reported a strong financial performance with a 23% increase in sales in Danish kroner and a 24% increase at constant exchange rates, driven by significant growth in diabetes and obesity care segments.
The company’s operating profit rose by 21% in Danish kroner and 22% at constant exchange rates, reaching DKK 91.6 billion. Key contributors to this growth were a 25% increase in diabetes care sales, propelled by GLP-1 treatments, and a 44% rise in obesity care sales. Additionally, Novo Nordisk advanced its research and development efforts, notably in cardiovascular outcomes and liver fibrosis treatments.
Looking forward, Novo Nordisk expects continued sales and profit growth, projected at 23-27% and 21-27% respectively at constant exchange rates. However, supply constraints could pose challenges due to high demand for its GLP-1 products. The company is investing in expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet this demand.
Overall, Novo Nordisk’s strategic focus on innovation and market expansion positions it well for sustained growth in the healthcare sector.
