Novartis revenue and expenses
Being a Swiss-based company, Novartis generated around one third of its revenue, namely about 15 billion U.S. dollars, in Europe in 2023. With approximately 18 billion U.S. dollars, the United States was the company's most important market in that year. Novartis AG made 31.8 billion U.S. dollars from its branded pharmaceuticals ("Promoted brands") segment that year, the company’s largest segment. Novartis spun-off its generic drugs division Sandoz in mid-2023, while eye care division Alcon was spun off in back April 2019. The company spends most of its resources on SG&A (selling, general and administration): expenses for this category reached around 12.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Research and development expenditures amounted to some 11.4 billion U.S. dollars in the same year.
