Morningstar | CSL’s Strategy Beyond Plasma Sets It Up for Sustained Growth

CSL is a global leader in the plasma therapies market and is benefiting from the investments made in both plasma collection facilities and R&D. The company’s R&D pipeline has been commercially successful and major launches buoyed low-teens sales growth in fiscal 2017 and 2018. In the near term, we forecast a more subdued single-digit revenue growth until the next wave of R&D commercialisation from 2021 forward.The plasma industry is changing and CSL is broadening its scope to include emerging therapies. Headwinds for the industry come from recombinants, non-plasma derived products, which already dominate haemophilia treatment, and in the future alternative therapies, such gene therapy, aiming to cure rather than treat diseases currently being treated with plasma products. Mitigating these risks, CSL has successfully transitioned to include recombinants and has acquired a gene therapy platform with early stage R&D.
