Grifols’ Biotest launches Yimmugo® in the United States

  • Grifols and Biotest expand access to treatment for people living with immunedeficiencies
  • Biotest-developed Yimmugo received FDA approval for U.S. in mid-2024
  • The launch strengthens Grifols’ robust portfolio of immunoglobulins available to U.S. patients

Barcelona, Spain, October 9, 2025 - Grifols (MCE: GRF, MCE: GRF.P NASDAQ: GRFS), a global healthcare company and leading producer of plasma-derived medicines and innovative diagnostic solutions, today announced that Yimmugo®, an innovative intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapeutic, produced by Biotest – a Grifols Group company – will officially launch in the United States for the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies (PID).

Following FDA approval for U.S. commercialization earlier in 2024, the first for a Biotest medicine, Yimmugo will now be available to help address the growing number of patients living with primary immunodeficiencies and other medical conditions in the country. It is estimated that one in every 1,200 people1 in the U.S. is affected by PID, a condition where the body’s immune system’s ability to fight infections and diseases is weakened or does not function properly.

Developed by Biotest, Yimmugo is manufactured using a state-of-the-art process at the company’s FDA-certified “Next Level” production facility in Dreieich, Germany. Already approved and successfully launched in Europe in 2022, the U.S. introduction of Yimmugo is expected to significantly contribute to Grifols Group’s sales and support the company’s future growth strategy.

Grifols has built a strong portfolio of industry-leading immunoglobulin therapies, including both intravenous and subcutaneous formulations. Global demand for immunoglobulin treatments continues to rise, with a protected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%, reaching an estimated market size of $36.7 billion in 2034, up from $20.1 billion in 20252.  

“The U.S. launch of Yimmugo marks a cornerstone in Biotest’s long-term strategy and highlights the company’s continuous growth trajectory,” said Dr. Jörg Schüttrumpf, Chief Scientific Innovation Officer at Grifols and CEO of Biotest AG. “It also demonstrates Grifols’ and Biotest’s shared commitment to innovation and to improving the lives of people worldwide by expanding access to care.”

Yimmugo will be distributed in the United States by Kedrion Inc., a recognized leader in plasma-derived therapies.
