Growth is driven by a diversified portfolio across Pharmaceutical, MedTech, and Consumer Health segments. Key drivers include strong performance from immunology drugs like Stelara and Tremfya, oncology drugs like Darzalex and Erleada, innovation in MedTech, particularly with the integration of Abiomed, and strategic pricing and product launches across all segments. The company also benefits from strong brand recognition in its Consumer Health products.
