Bayer AG (BAYGn.DE) aims to invest $1 billion in medicinal research and development in the United States this year as part of its efforts to treble its sales in the country by the end of the decade. Sebastian Guth, head of Bayer’s medicines division in the Americas, also stated that the firm has increased the number of marketing workers in the United States by around 50% in the previous three years and aims to increase that figure by another 75% by 2030.
