Fresh with a new brand identity, the France-headquartered pharma group has pledged to grow its oncology sales from its current objective of €1 billion in 2025 to €3 billion in 2030, continuing a diversification of its business from its traditional focus on cardiovascular diseases.
The strategy to build in cancer dates back to 2015, and has since gathered momentum with the purchase of the oncology businesses of Shire and Agios Pharma in 2018 and 2020, for $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion respectively, as well as smaller deals such as its takeover of Danish antibody specialist Symphogen.
