Servier is an independent French-based pharmaceutical company with a strong international presence in over 140 countries. It employs more than 21.000 people, 5 thousand of whom are based in France. Its development is driven by the pursuit of innovation in different therapeutic areas. In April 2014 Servier launched a transformation plan with four main ambitions: first, to launch a new molecule every three years, secondly, to become a reference player in oncology – in this regards they will dedicate 50 percent of all R&D investments to this field – and lastly, from revenues of 4 billion euros (4.46 billion USD) in 2014, their objective is to reach 5 billion euros (5.57 billion USD) with the next five years.
Each year Servier re-invests 25 percent of its revenues, twice the average in the pharma industry, in R&D. Over 37 percent of Servier drugs are produced in France, but over 92 percent innovative revenues are derived from their international business. Today China is their number one market, generating revenues of 290 million euros (315.31 million USD) per year, and this leadership position will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
