This growth was primarily driven by the Americas, which saw a 17% increase (34% CER) benefitting from the full year addition of the portfolio acquired in Latin America, which enjoyed double-digit growth on a comparable basis in H2 2025. Africa Middle East, the largest region within this segment, grew 8% with solid organic growth of 6% augmented by the Lilly franchise. Asia grew by 74% (78% CER), benefitting from the product swop with Sandoz.
