About the company

Bayer AG is a German life-sciences group spanning agriculture, prescription medicines and nonprescription health products. Its 2025 annual report treats these as three divisions rather than three interchangeable product labels.

This chart adds one portfolio layer beneath the division names: seeds and traits, crop protection and digital services in Crop Science; prescription and radiology in Pharmaceuticals; and selected self-care brands in Consumer Health. The lower boxes are product areas and examples, not claims about legal subsidiaries.

Three divisions with distinct customer and product systems

Crop Science serves agriculture through seeds and traits, crop protection and digital farming services. The company presents these areas as a connected agricultural offering, so they share one division in the visual.

Pharmaceuticals develops and markets prescription products and includes radiology. Those businesses reach hospitals, pharmacies and healthcare providers rather than the consumer retail channels of Consumer Health.

Consumer Health markets nonprescription products in categories such as pain, skin care, supplements and allergy. Aspirin and Bepanthen are shown as brand examples, not separate divisions.

The chart depicts business and portfolio groupings. It does not imply that product brands are incorporated subsidiaries or that division heads have the specific employee reporting lines represented by every edge.

How this structure supports the business

The three-division structure shows why a company known for medicines also owns a large agricultural business. It links distinct portfolios to the level at which Bayer reports their performance.

A second layer prevents brand and business-unit confusion. Aspirin is a consumer health brand; Crop Science's seed and crop-protection offerings are portfolio areas, not peer corporations to Bayer AG.

Advantages and disadvantages

The divisions align with Bayer's annual report and make the product differences clear.

The chart leaves out regional organizations, legal subsidiaries and the detailed R&D structure.
