SenzaGen’s 2022 Year-End Report: Breakthrough for SenzaGen in both sales and technology

Message from the CEO

“We closed our breakthrough year, 2022, on a very strong note with a 110% increase in sales for the second half year to SEK 21.8 million. Organic sales accounted for SEK 12.1 million, representing 70% organic growth. Late in the year, we saw strong demand for GARD® tests, which was largely driven by the OECD approval received earlier in the year. For the full year, total sales increased by as much as 171% to SEK 41.8 million. With our OECD-approved test, new innovative tests and a broader offering in a market that is continuing to grow from technological, regulatory and ethical drivers, I can see us in a very favorable position for continued high growth.”
