Research and Markets: Sales of EUR 9.85 Billion for Siemens Healthcare Medical Device Company Revealed in This Intelligence Report

Siemens Healthcare is one of the world's largest suppliers to the healthcare industry. The company has long been renowned for its medical imaging systems, including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), mammography, angiography, ultrasound and molecular imaging (MI) products, as well as related computer-based workstations, healthcare IT systems, oncology care products and hearing aids. Siemens also has a share in DrAnger Medical, a leader in the market for electromedical systems, including patient monitoring products and electrophysiological measuring systems.

Over the last few years, Siemens has expanded its medical portfolio through targeted acquisitions. By acquiring Shared Medical Systems (healthcare IT) in 2000, CTI Molecular Imaging in 2005, Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) and Bayer Diagnostics in 2006, and Dade Behring in 2007, Siemens has created the world's first and only fully-integrated diagnostics company, combining imaging diagnostics, laboratory diagnostics and clinical IT under one roof. As a result, Siemens Healthcare now delivers solutions across the entire continuum of care - from prevention and early detection, to diagnosis, therapy and care.

The company employs more than 49,000 people worldwide and operates in 130 countries. In fiscal 2007, Siemens Healthcare reported sales of EUR 9.85 billion, orders of EUR 10.27 billion, and group profit of EUR 1.32 billion.

The acquisitions of DPC, Bayer Diagnostics and, most recently, Dade Behring, have also doubled the overall market served by Siemens' Healthcare sector to EUR 57 billion and given the group access to further attractive market segments. As a result, Siemens has raised its Healthcare sector's target margin range to 14 -- 17%.
