Product
Innovative Crop Science Portfolio
Bayer offers high-yield seeds and advanced crop-protection products that raised average farm yields by ~7% in trials; revenue for Bayer CropScience hit €18.3bn in 2024. By end-2025 Bayer integrated climate-resilient seed lines and biologicals—over 120 commercial varieties and 15 bio-products—to target food security and lower emissions. These biotech solutions aim to boost output while cutting pesticide-related emissions and input use.
Specialty Pharmaceutical Medicines
Bayer’s specialty pharmaceuticals focus on prescription cardiology, oncology, and women’s health; in 2025 the division drove €12.8bn sales company-wide with specialty products rising ~9% year-on-year.
Newer drugs like Nubeqa (darolutamide) and Kerendia (finerenone) offset patent losses, contributing an estimated €1.4bn combined sales in 2025.
The portfolio shifts to precision medicine—targeted therapies and biomarkers—boosting per-patient effectiveness and premium pricing, with targeted therapies now >25% of R&D spend.
Consumer Health OTC Products
Bayer holds a strong OTC foothold with global brands in dermatology, nutritionals and digestive health; OTC sales were about €5.8bn in 2024, roughly 22% of consumer health revenue.
Key SKUs—Aspirin, Claritin and Bepanthen—drive everyday self-care sales, with Aspirin still posting low-double-digit market shares in several EU markets in 2024.
The company invests in novel delivery formats and fast-acting formulas; recent 2023–24 launches increased repeat purchase rates by ~7% in core retail channels.
Digital Farming and Data Solutions
The Climate FieldView platform shows Bayer’s push into digital farming, letting growers collect and analyze field data to refine planting and fertilization decisions and boost yields.
By late 2025, FieldView and connected tools are central to proving Bayer’s integrated system value; digital-adoption studies show precision tools can cut nitrogen use by ~15% and raise yields 3–7%.
