Sartorius Sets Ambitious Growth Targets Through 2028
Sartorius, a leading biotech company, Friday outlined its ambitious growth plans for the coming years, aiming to significantly elevate its market position by 2028.
2024 Outlook: Robust Revenue Growth and High Profit Margins
For 2024, Sartorius is poised to increase its revenue in the mid to upper single-digit percentage range. This growth trajectory is underpinned by the company’s innovative approach and strong market demand for its biotechnology solutions. The company is not only focusing on revenue growth but also on profitability, targeting an operational profit margin of just over 30 percent. This balance of growth and profitability underscores Sartorius’s strategic approach to expanding its market share while maintaining financial health.

“2023 was a very unusual and challenging year in our industry. The customers’ destocking and other factors such as very weak demand in China had a longer and more pronounced business performance for longer and to a greater extent than originally forecast. Therefore we ended the past year with declining sales, although our profitability continued to improve due to an adjusted cost base profitability remained at a healthy level and above the pre-pandemic level due to an adjusted cost base. … As many customers are now further advanced with their warehouse optimizations, business has picked up since the end of the 3rd quarter, and we expect this trend to gradually increase over the course of 2024 should gradually strengthen over the course of 2024,”
said Sartorius CEO Joachim Kreuzburg on Friday.
