According to MP DOCTOR (formerly MarketPoint), BlueMtech reported 60 billion won ($44 million) in Wegovy distribution revenue in April, a sixfold increase from the previous month.</p>
          <p contents-hash="f8bceb4262daebd269f87a3bd2efb06fd03a98b8e6165f34e9c74331687ee383" dmcf-pid="61JFQ2nbrW" dmcf-ptype="general">BlueMtech operates Bluepharm Korea, an e-commerce platform for pharmaceuticals that distributes Wegovy in South Korea. The company cited enhanced services like same-day delivery in Seoul and membership benefits as drivers behind the revenue surge. The average purchase price also tripled, suggesting a sharp influx of high-volume buyers.</p>

          <p contents-hash="eeb6d35b46fe416d64c013584faaf9678884a1c81f87c8e715907377b9b69c42" dmcf-pid="QFn0Mfo9mT" dmcf-ptype="general">In addition to the Wegovy boom, BlueMtech is betting on its flu vaccine distribution business and expanded cold-chain logistics capabilities. The company acquired a 30.9% stake in Gonggam Plus last year, securing over 100 refrigerated trucks and completing a new temperature-controlled warehouse in July 2023. It also signed a co-promotion deal with Sanofi Korea in August to distribute two flu vaccine products.</p>

The rally came after opposition Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung unveiled a set of senior welfare policies on Parents’ Day, including lowering the age for dental implant health insurance coverage and increasing the number of implants covered per patient.</p>

The company holds the No. 3 global market share in this niche segment. Lithium disilicate offers strength and translucency similar to natural teeth, making it ideal for crowns, veneers, and other restorations. Only a few companies worldwide have successfully commercialized this advanced material.</p>

The company had announced promising results from its U.S. Phase 2 trial for CartiLife, a next-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) therapy for knee osteoarthritis.</p>

           CartiLife showed statistically significant improvements in cartilage regeneration and symptom relief, especially among patients with underlying osteoarthritis. At week 48, the mean cartilage defect fill score was 14.2 out of 20, far above the 9-point average seen in conventional microfracture techniques in South Korea. The therapy also significantly improved KOOS scores (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score), including subcategories such as pain, function, and quality of life.
