I'll analyze Danaher's segment revenue mix over time. Let me start by loading their revenue data.Total revenue is available. Now let me search SEC filings for segment-level revenue breakdown.I have 2021–2024 segment data. I need 2020 for a 5-year timeline and the latest 2025 figure.I now have all the data I need. Let me build the chart and table.

Important context: In 2020, Danaher's segments were Life Sciences, Diagnostics, and Environmental & Applied Solutions. The "Biotechnology" segment was created later (in connection with the Cytiva acquisition and a 2022 reorganization). For 2020, the bioprocessing businesses lived within Life Sciences. I'll show the 2021–2025 data on the current three-segment structure (Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Diagnostics), and note the 2020 figure uses the prior structure.

Now let me build the chart DataFrame and present.

All figures in $ millions (GAAP, as reported). 2020 reflects the prior three-segment structure (Life Sciences / Diagnostics / Environmental & Applied Solutions); the Biotechnology segment was created in 2021–2022 from former Life Sciences bioprocessing operations (Cytiva + Pall bioprocessing).

Segment FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25
Biotechnology n/a 8,570 8,758 7,172 6,759 7,293
Life Sciences 10,576 6,388 7,036 7,141 7,329 7,334
Diagnostics 7,403 9,844 10,849 9,577 9,787 9,941
Total (Continuing Ops) 22,284 24,802 26,643 23,890 23,875 24,568

Mix (% of total continuing-ops revenue)

Segment FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25
Biotechnology 34.6% 32.9% 30.0% 28.3% 29.7%
Life Sciences 25.8% 26.4% 29.9% 30.7% 29.9%
Diagnostics 39.7% 40.7% 40.1% 41.0% 40.5%

Key takeaways

  • Diagnostics is the largest segment and has been the most stable share contributor at ~40% across the post-COVID period. Sales peaked at $10.85B in FY22 (COVID test cycle), dipped in FY23 ($9.58B), and have since rebuilt gradually to $9.94B in FY25.
  • Biotechnology sales declined from the FY22 peak of $8.76B to $6.76B in FY24 (-23% over two years) on post-COVID bioprocessing destocking and weak emerging-biotech funding. FY25 turned positive (+7.9% YoY to $7.29B) led by bioprocessing consumables.
  • Life Sciences scaled from $6.39B in FY21 to $7.33B in FY25, gaining roughly 4 points of mix share over the period as Abcam (closed late 2023) and IDT/Aldevron added consumables scale. FY25 was essentially flat as funding headwinds at emerging-biotech and academic customers offset equipment strength.
  • Total revenue bottomed at $23.88B in FY23-24 (vs. $26.64B FY22 peak) and re-grew modestly to $24.57B in FY25 (FX tailwind +0.5%; core sales +2.0%).
