The Life Science Barometer 2025 report is now out!

The Life Science Barometer is an annual report that takes the temperature of the Swedish life science sector to complement statistics with facts, figures, and sentiment from the ground. It provides a data-driven snapshot of key trends and needs, influencing decision-makers at both the company and policy levels. The initiative is led by SwedenBIO in collaboration with Medicon Village Innovation, Sahlgrenska Science Park, Stockholm Science City Foundation, STUNS Life science and Citeline.

This year, 207 life science executive leaders from across Sweden responded to the Barometer, with some of the following key findings:

• The Swedish life science industry is a key contributor to the Swedish economy, with a net turnover of 474 billion SEK and accounting for almost 10% of exports.
• The industry mainly consists of small and young companies with burgeoning potential in the form of intellectual assets. Most companies focus on global markets as they further develop these assets.
• One in two respondent companies are a part of a community like Medicon Village. This rises to three in four among the youngest companies (0-4 years old).
• The current state of the industry is optimistic despite financial challenges. Most executives in life science are planning for business expansion and the innovation of new products.

A regional report focusing on the Skåne life science sector will be published in April 2025, led by Medicon Village Innovation.
