In Europe, the patents for Wegovy and Ozempic do not expire until the early 2030s. In the USA, they run until 2035. source Google . In China, they are due to expire in 2026. Please correct me if I am wrong.

@Buchmacher No, I agree, but the European drug market is irrelevant, only the USA is important.

@Alexander_Bitcoin If I remember correctly, almost 50% of the profits of the global pharmaceutical industry are generated in the USA. For many drugs even upwards of 60%.

The European market caps the price of drugs, whereas in the US the market sets the price.
