Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Novonesis holds a dominant market position in enzymes and cultures, with a near-50% market share in both, supported by an enviable portfolio of patents and unmatched library of strains and enzyme classes.

Bears

Novonesis' core markets offer relatively low growth prospects, which means the company is now relying more on new markets and inorganic growth initiatives.
