Best Business Schools Hiring:
Health Care Industry
Consider that global obesity-drug sales—dominated by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk—could skyrocket 15 times above their 2023 sales to surpass $93 billion in 2030. There's nevertheless room for new entrants like Amgen, Zealand, Viking and Structure Therapeutics. Demand continues to exceed supply; and it's set to do so into 2025, in particular as the drugs' additional benefits beyond weight loss (sleep apnea, cardiac health) become increasingly apparent. As just one piece of the health-care industry, it's easy to see why interest in business roles within this space has been rising of late. Over the past year, 730 MBAs from 95 participating schools entered the health-care field.
