Description: BIM Biomerieux October 30, 2025
bioMérieux S.A. (ticker BIM, France) is a global in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) company headquartered in Marcy-l’Étoile, France. Founded in 1963 and now a subsidiary of Institut Mérieux SA, it serves hospitals, clinical labs, and public-health agencies across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific.
The firm’s product suite spans culture media (CHROMID), rapid biochemical tests (RAPIDEC CARBA NP), automated blood-culture systems (BACT/ALERT VIRTUO/3D), multiplex PCR platforms (BIOFIRE, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE), mass-spectrometry identification (VITEK MS), automated susceptibility testing (VITEK 2, VITEK REVEAL, ETEST), whole-genome sequencing (EPISEQ CS), and point-of-care immuno-assays (VIDAS). Complementary software (bioMérieux Vision Suite) and sample-prep technologies (NUCLISENS, EMAG) round out its end-to-end diagnostics offering.
Key financial and sector metrics (as of FY 2023) include €3.2 billion in revenue, a 12 % operating margin, and R&D spending of roughly 9 % of sales-both above the average for the GICS Biotechnology sub-industry. The IVD market is projected to grow at a 6-7 % CAGR through 2030, driven by rising antimicrobial-resistance concerns, expanding molecular-diagnostic adoption, and sustained demand for rapid sepsis testing-trends that directly benefit bioMérieux’s product pipeline. The company’s partnership network (e.g., Boehringer Ingelheim, Evotec) and its pipeline of FDA-cleared assays provide additional upside, though execution risk remains around regulatory timelines and competitive pricing pressure.
For a data-rich, objective view of how bioMérieux’s valuation compares to peers and the broader IVD landscape, you may find the analyst tools on ValueRay worth exploring.
