Novartis' revenue 2007-2023
In 2023, the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis AG’s total revenue amounted to 45.5 billion U.S. dollars. This is a decrease of five billion U.S. dollars compared to the year before. The reason is the spin-off of Novartis' Sandoz segment during mid-2023.
Novartis’ revenue by segment
Between 2014 and 2023, the multinational corporation, based in Basel, Switzerland, generated the bulk of its revenue through brand name pharmaceuticals: in 2023, the company made 31.8 billion U.S. dollars from this segment. In the same year Novartis spun off its generic drug division Sandoz.
Competitor Sanofi
Another global leader in the world of healthcare and pharmaceuticals is Sanofi, which is based in Paris, France. In 2022, the French company generated 43 billion euros' worth of revenue. That same year, the majority of Sanofi’s revenue was earned through pharmaceuticals (30.7 billion euros), while the vaccine business segment generated 7.2 billion euros.
