Chugai achieved rapid global growth by delivering a constant stream of products from Chugai research via the Roche network to patients around the world. In 2021, there was steady market penetration by Hemlibra and increased demand for Actemra, mainly overseas, to treat patients with severe COVID-19, such that global sales of these products increased and drove growth by the Roche Group. This global growth creates a positive cycle whereby the Roche Group is able to increase investment of resources and Chugai is able to in-license additional enhanced products from Roche.

3 Strong domestic presence in therapeutic antibodies

Sales share in the Japanese therapeutic antibody market

Development of products from Chugai research and of products in-licensed from Roche is progressing steadily, thanks to our focused allocation of business resources in innovative drug discovery and our highly efficient development activities, including the collaboration with Roche. This has allowed us to maintain a robust pipeline in terms of both quality and quantity. In 2021, we started clinical development on two in-house projects, including our first mid-size molecule drug LUNA18, and we also in-licensed three projects from Roche.

Chugai has established a defined presence in Japan through its innovative products and the delivery of

Annual Report 2021 1

Themes of the Year (January to December 2021)

In February 2021, we announced TOP I 2030*, a 10-year growth strategy designed to realize our goal of becoming a top innovator by the year 2030.

In 2021, the first year of TOP I 2030, we progressed steadily with its individual strategies. As well as achieving marked progress in research and development, we were able to post record results in financial terms.

  • TOP expresses our aspiration to become "the world's top innovator, not just in Japan." The "I" has two meanings: in addition to "innovator," it also expresses that each and every member of the Chugai Group plays an important role in our efforts to realize TOP I 2030.
