Australia's GLP-1 market reaches a structural turning point: Wegovy PBS negotiations underway, Lilly withdraws Mounjaro for the fourth time, India's semaglutide patent expires and fifteen generics launch on Day 1, and Chemist Warehouse reports 17.2% Australian sales growth explicitly attributable to GLP-1 dispensing. A 7.8 million–eligible patient pool with only ~500,000 currently on therapy defines the commercial opportunity ahead.
