What Biopharma does

Biopharma is a Ukrainian biopharmaceutical company founded in 1896 that develops and manufactures immunobiological drugs derived from human donor blood plasma. It is the first Ukrainian manufacturer of plasma-derived medicines and operates as a vertically integrated plasma-processing enterprise, controlling the full chain from its proprietary Biopharma Plasma donor centers through manufacturing at a fractionation facility with 1,000,000 liters of annual throughput capacity. The company collects approximately 200,000 liters of plasma annually from over 100,000 donors across 250,000 donations, with each sample screened for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis before use. The current 580-person operation is producing at industrial scale; a new fractionation plant in Uzhhorod is at the final construction stage, accompanied by a 5,000 square meter laboratory complex and four additional plasma donor centers, all of which will materially expand production and R&D capacity.

The business model is sales-led and based on direct supply of plasma-derived pharmaceutical products (including the named Bioven brand) to government healthcare systems and medical institutions. Domestically, Biopharma supplies Ukrainian medical institutions across the country; internationally, it exports to over 20 countries spanning Latin America, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East, with active drug registration processes underway in the EU, Turkey, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, and Hong Kong. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated government procurement contracts. The company operates under GMP manufacturing standards and is led by President Kostiantyn Yefymenko, with what appears to be a privately held, founder/management-led ownership structure and no disclosed external investors. The company has cumulatively invested $150 million into its plasma operations, including $18.5 million in the most recent year, signaling a major ongoing capital deployment phase.

Direct peers

• CSL Behring: CSL Behring is the global leader in plasma fractionation, producing immunoglobulins, albumins, and clotting factors. It directly competes with Biopharma as a vertically integrated plasma-derived therapeutics manufacturer serving similar hospital and government customers worldwide.
• Grifols: Grifols is one of the world's largest plasma fractionators with an integrated donor-center network and broad therapeutic product portfolio. It competes head-to-head with Biopharma in plasma-derived medicines and operates a comparable vertically integrated business model.
• Octapharma: Octapharma is a privately held Swiss global plasma fractionator producing immunoglobulins, coagulation factors, and albumin. It is one of the few large-scale fractionators worldwide at the same technological level as Biopharma and targets overlapping therapeutic and geographic markets.
• Kedrion Biopharma: Kedrion is a privately held Italian plasma fractionator producing plasma-derived therapies for global markets. As a similarly structured privately owned fractionator, it is one of the closest direct comparables to Biopharma in business model and product portfolio.
• Biotest AG: Biotest is a German plasma fractionator specializing in immunoglobulins, coagulation factors, and albumins. It is one of roughly 25 large-scale fractionation facilities worldwide and serves a comparable product portfolio to Biopharma.
• LFB (Laboratoire Français du Fractionnement et des Biotechnologies): LFB is a French state-linked plasma fractionator producing plasma-derived medicinal products for European and international markets. It is directly comparable to Biopharma as a domestically anchored fractionator serving government healthcare systems.

Broad incumbents

• Takeda (Plasma-Derived Therapies): Takeda acquired Shire/Baxalta and operates a large plasma-derived therapies business (immunoglobulin and albumin franchises) as part of its broader rare-disease portfolio. It overlaps with Biopharma's therapeutic focus but at much larger scale and across additional specialty areas.

Regional players

• Sanquin Plasma Products: Sanquin is the Dutch national blood supply organization with a plasma products division that fractionates plasma into therapeutics. While primarily serving the Netherlands, it shares Biopharma's model of integrated donor collection and national fractionation for plasma-derived medicines.

Emerging players

• ADMA Biologics: ADMA Biologics is a US-based plasma fractionator focused on immune globulins for immune-deficient patients. It is an emerging peer with a narrower product line but operates in the same plasma therapeutics category as Biopharma.
• Hualan Biological Engineering: Hualan Biological is one of China's largest plasma fractionators producing immunoglobulins and other blood products. It is comparable to Biopharma in scale and product mix, but operates in a different geography and serves the domestic Chinese market.
