Detailed SWOT Analysis of Fresenius SE & Co.
Strength
1. Strong focus on research and development: Being one of the leading services providers in the healthcare segment, Fresenius attaches great importance to research and development. The Group stays updated with all latest technology and developments so as to serve the patients better and hence is incessantly involved in research. Fresenius Kabi in 2019 opened a research and development center in Switzerland for biosimilars. A biosimilar is a drug which is similar to another approved biologic drug. The German medical care company invested around €15 million which will further help in strengthening the company’s capability to develop new biosimilars specially in the areas of autoimmune and diseases and oncology. Fresenius Kabi formed a joint venture along with Bio-Techne and Wilson Wolf to support researchers and biopharmaceutical companies in cell and gene therapy fields. Fresenius Medical Care also expanded its clinical research activities by expanding the offerings of Frenova Renal Research, a subsidiary, which was previously limited to North America, to Europe, Middle east and Africa and Latin America.

Opportunity
1. Increasing global dialysis market:The global dialysis market has been increasing at a high rate with each passing year. In 2019, this market was approximated to be worth €80 billion and saw a growth of around 4%. Approximately 4.3 million people were treated worldwide with chronic renal failure out of which 3.5 million received dialysis treatments and about 815,000 were living with transplanted kidney. The major growth factor for the increasing dialysis market is the increasing number of patients with diabetes and blood pressure since these 2 diseases often precede the onset of chronic kidney failure. The number of dialysis patients increased by 6% worldwide. Around 10% of the worldwide dialysis patients are being treated by Fresenius Medical care. Fresenius Medical care is the leading provider of dialysis products in the world with a market share of 36%. With the momentous growth of the global dialysis market, Fresenius is well positioned to see healthy growth. https://www.fresenius.com/financial_reporting/Fresenius_Annual_Report_2019.pdf Page 47, 72
