Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a leading provider of innovative technologies for the manufacture of biologics, is sharpening its strong focus on biopharma customers and outlined its updated strategy and new mid-term financial targets ahead of today’s Capital Markets Day, defining a clear trajectory for sustained above‑market growth. “Our resilient business model and strong execution over recent years provide an excellent starting point for the next growth phase,” said Dr. René Fáber, Chief Executive Officer of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. “The biopharma industry faces increasing demands for efficiency, scalability and reliability. We want to address these even better by extending our leadership position in core bioprocessing technologies and building future growth platforms in areas such as advanced therapies and process analytics. With this, we aim to continue to outperform our markets and create long-term value for customers, partners, suppliers, employees and shareholders alike.” Sartorius Stedim Biotech’s refined strategic focus reflects key developments in the biopharmaceutical industry. Biologics account for a growing share of pipelines, approvals, and manufacturing volumes. In 2025, global biopharma revenues surpassed those of traditional therapies for the first time and are projected to reach around 57percent of global pharma sales by 2030. At the same time, the industry is becoming more complex, driven by emerging new modalities and mounting cost pressures on health care systems. Strategic initiatives: Driving portfolio evolution, customer experience and efficiency To continue its strong growth momentum and further expand its established market position in this changing environment, Sartorius Stedim Biotech has defined a set of strategic initiatives. With regard to its product portfolio, the company aims to further strengthen its core business by reinforcing its leadership positions in mission critical applications in process intensification, single-use technologies and analytics. In addition, Sartorius Stedim Biotech plans to further develop select emerging businesses, including process analytical technologies and offerings for advanced therapy solutions – a dynamically growing market that particularly requires continuous innovation. Beyond its portfolio, Sartorius Stedim Biotech is responding to shifting expectations within the biopharma industry, including shorter lead times, delivery reliability and more streamlined interactions. To support this, the company is putting customers even more firmly at the center of its actions while systematically enhancing operational efficiency across supply chain performance, product quality and service performance. Mid-term ambition: Above-market organic sales revenue growth and margin expansion Based on its assessment of future market development, Sartorius Stedim Biotech expects the bioprocessing market to expand at a rate of approximately 8 to 10 percent per year over the medium term. Against this backdrop and building on its leading market position as well as its focused strategy, Sartorius Stedim Biotech introduced a new mid‑term ambition for the period from 2027 onwards. Management expects the company to consistently outgrow its addressable market by around 100 to 200 basis points per year, targeting organic sales revenue growth of 9 to 12 percent per year in constant currencies. At the same time, Sartorius Stedim Biotech is committed to further expanding its profitability: The underlying EBITDA margin1 is expected to increase by approximately 60 to 85 basis points per year, driven by operating leverage, operational improvements and a growing share of high-margin consumables. 1 Sartorius Stedim Biotech publishes alternative performance measures that are not defined by international accounting standards.
