ZURICH, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Sandoz aims to more than double net sales from ​2025 to 2035, the ‌Swiss drug maker said on Tuesday at its capital markets day, where it outlined its new Bio100 ‌biosimilars ​strategy, pivoting its ⁠focus from generics ⁠to biosimilars.

“Our Bio100 ambitions are set to position biosimilars to become the majority of our ​sales,” Sandoz’s Chief Executive Richard Saynor said in a ⁠statement.

Sandoz said it ⁠is also targeting annual ​net sales growth at a ​mid-to-high single-digit rate at constant ‌currencies from 2025 to 2030, banking on its biosimilars portfolio, which it wants to ⁠increase to 100 drugs by 2040, from 13 today.

At its previous ⁠capital ‌markets day in 2023, ⁠ahead of its spin-off ​from ‌former parent Novartis, the ​company ⁠had aimed for mid-single digit sales growth by 2028, a goal it says remains unchanged.
