Greater
China

Bayer’s ties with China date back as far as 1882, when the group’s dyes were first sold on the Chinese market. Bayer’s Greater China country group, which comprises the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, today achieves sales of EUR 2.9 billion. This is equivalent to 39 percent of Bayer’s total sales in the Asia/Pacific region and makes Greater China the largest individual market in the region. Moreover, Greater China is the third largest market for Bayer globally. The company employed some 10,000 people at the end of 2010.

For the Bayer group, China is a key growth driver in the long term. Bayer remains committed to the China market and sees continued investments, especially in innovation and R&D to drive future growth for all its businesses in China.

Indian
Subcontinent

The founding of “Farbenfabriken Bayer and Co. Ltd.” in Mumbai in 1896 marked the beginning of Bayer’s activities in India. It was Bayer’s first wholly-owned subsidiary in Asia at that time. At the end of 2010, Bayer employed nearly 3,860 people in India.

Japan

Japan has long been the main focus of Bayer’s activities in Asia. With the first business contacts established in 1886, the company founded its first wholly owned subsidiary in Japan in 1911. Thus, 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of Bayer in Japan.

Japan accounts for about 27 percent of the Group’s business in Asia/Pacific and is the second largest market or Bayer in the region. Bayer in Japan generated total sales of EUR 2 billion in 2010 and had a total workforce of about 3,362.

Korea

Bayer entered the Korean market with its Crop Protection products in 1955 and plays a vital role in Bayer’s operations in Asia/Pacific. In 2010 the Bayer Group in Korea achieved sales of EUR 394 million and employed 1.118 employees.

North
ASEAN

The North ASEAN country group comprises Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The largest single market in this country group is Thailand, which plays a key role in the expansion of Bayer’s regional manufacturing base.

In 2010 Bayer achieved sales from continuing operations of EUR 373 million in this country group, demonstrating the economic potential of the area. Sales in North ASEAN account for about 5 percent of Bayer sales in the Asia/Pacific region. At the end of 2010, Bayer North ASEAN employed 1,980 employees.

South
ASEAN

South ASEAN is a culturally and linguistically diverse region with more than 355 million people and includes Brunei, Malaysia, East Timor, the Philippines and Singapore.

Indonesia, with more than 238 million people, belonged to the country group South ASEAN until the end of 2010 and is represented as a separate organizational entity starting from January 2011.

With sales of EUR 610 million, the country group accounted for some 8 percent of total Asia/Pacific sales in 2010. The country group’s management for all legal entities operating in South ASEAN is located in Singapore.
