Novo Nordisk entered a bidding contest with Pfizer for Metsera, underscoring consolidation in the fast-growing obesity-drug market.
Novo Nordisk launched a competing offer for U.S. biotech company Metsera, intensifying the race to acquire next-generation obesity-drug assets. The move directly counters Pfizer’s earlier approach and highlights growing consolidation among pharmaceutical majors seeking leadership in the weight-management segment. Analysts view the bid as strategically significant given the market’s multibillion-dollar growth potential. The deal could reshape the competitive landscape for GLP-1-based therapies and elevate Novo’s position in global metabolic healthcare innovation.
