Recent data has revealed a staggering 1900% increase in Google searches for “Ozempic” and “Ozempic price” in the U.S. since 2022.
Originally designed to treat diabetes, Ozempic has gained popularity for its off-label use in weight loss. Interestingly, this surging interest is not in the states with the highest diabetes levels but it does correlate to states with significant socio-economic factors that make people obsess more over being skinny than others.
This article uses the analysis of BisonPharmacy.com experts to explore the states with the highest interest in Ozempic and the factors driving their obsession.
3 States Most Interested in Ozempic
1. Massachusetts
Massachusetts has the highest population percentage searching for “Ozempic” and “Ozempic price,” with 1 out of every 140 people doing so. It has seen a 2400% increase in search volume for Ozempic since 2022.
“Major cities like Boston and Springfield contribute to this health-conscious culture. They have a higher median income and greater access to healthcare professionals who prescribe Ozempic compared to many other areas,” analyze experts from Bison Pharmacy.
Coastal areas like New Bedford also show high search volume, possibly due to the pressure to maintain a beach-ready physique.
2. New York
Roughly 1 out of every 146 people in New York are searching for Ozempic. The state has a combined monthly search volume of 135,000.
However, New York is on the lower end of the percentage increase in interest levels (1567%) compared to most other states, highlighting that New Yorkers aren’t new to the “Ozempic for skinny bod” trend.
New York City, Elmira, and Binghampton stand out as areas with high interest in Ozempic.
“New York City residents are known for their fashion sense. This and the fast-paced environment could contribute to the high Ozempic search volume,” said Bison Pharmacy experts.
3. New Jersey
In Jersey City, approximately 1 in every 153 people are searching for Ozempic and its price.
Westfield City, Long Branch City, and Plainsboro Center show the highest interest in Ozempic in the state.
Bison Pharmacy experts believe, “Factors such as the state’s high median income level and proximity to New York City contribute to New Jersey’s obsession with Ozempic.”

Highest Percentage Increase
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Colorado have the highest increase in searches for Ozempic, increasing by up to 9990%.
Bison Pharmacy experts say, “This could possibly be due to higher incomes and a focus on health and appearance.”
Highest Search Volume
California has the highest total number of searches for Ozempic at 246,000. Interestingly, the state has the lowest obesity rate in the nation yet has one of the highest surges in Ozempic searches, reinforcing the idea that this interest might be in weight loss, not diabetes management.
This is likely due to the state’s emphasis on appearance and beach culture.
Bison Pharmacy experts conclude, “The surge in Ozempic searches across the U.S. underscores a shifting trend towards weight management beyond traditional medical applications.
“From bustling urban centers to tranquil suburban neighborhoods, socio-economic factors and cultural influences continue to shape the landscape of America’s weight loss journey.
