Are new weight-loss drugs prompting Shumpterian 'creative destruction' that will have a significant impact on the under-lying logic of consumer-focussed capitalism?

It seems that these drugs not only suppress appetite for food, they also surpass cravings much more widely.

As our current form of capitalism is built on the continuing fulfilment of consumer demand for non-necessities will a decline in such demand lead to a shift in economic patterns & organisation?
