• Galderma, the pure-play dermatology category leader, announces its intention to explore opportunities to build its fifth manufacturing plant in Singapore
• Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board, the new facility is expected to increase Galderma's manufacturing capacity by up to 350 million units per year, in response to continuing demand for premium science-based products in the Dermo‑cosmetics sector

Galderma intends to explore opportunities to build a fifth manufacturing plant with a high degree of digitalization and automation in Singapore in response to growing consumer demand and to support long-term sustainable growth over the coming years.

The announcement comes as part of Galderma's strategic manufacturing roadmap, aligned with the company's unique Integrated Dermatology Strategy. Following a record 2021 performance, Galderma has demonstrated strong commercial and financial performance in the first half of 2022, with continued strong growth across product categories. In particular, Dermo-cosmetics has grown by 31% year‑on‑year on a constant currency basis, fueled by the strong performance of Cetaphil^® driven by e‑commerce and launches in China and the rest of Asia.

"Our goal is to support our strong growth trajectory in the long-term with a new manufacturing plant that will significantly increase our capacity to serve consumers with premium brands from our differentiated Dermo-cosmetics portfolio across geographies, and primarily throughout our key markets in Asia-Pacific. We sincerely thank the Economic Development Board of Singapore for its support, and we look forward to further collaboration to bring this exciting project to life."
