bioMérieux 2019 Annual Report

13 July, 2020

In guiding the Company’s development, bioMérieux has always focused on meeting healthcare challenges related to infectious diseases all over the world. With over 90% of sales outside of France today, the scope of our activity is geographically balanced.

Our strategic choices for diagnostic solutions that address major healthcare challenges and our balanced international presence have a clear impact, reflected in the strong sales momentum that we have recorded for several years now. In 2019, bioMérieux generated sales of €2,675 million, representing growth of 7.2%, with contributive operating income before non-recurring items reaching €389 million in line with the targets set by the Company.

These results confirm our place among the major in vitro diagnostics players worldwide and strengthen our positioning in this market.
