It operates primarily in the pharmaceutical sector, focusing on five core therapeutic areas: oncology, gastroenterology, neuroscience, rare diseases, and plasma-derived therapies, which contribute to over 80% of its revenue. Takeda's diverse product portfolio includes established medications for conditions such as prostate cancer, peptic ulcers, hypertension, and diabetes. Additionally, Takeda Ventures, Inc., the company's venture capital arm, invests in therapeutic innovations across various stages of development, primarily in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The firm prioritizes investments in drug and biotherapeutic technologies, with a particular interest in cardiometabolic, central nervous system, chronic inflammatory, and oncology domains, while avoiding sectors like diagnostics and anti-infective products.
