NexGel (NASDAQ: NXGL) is positioned for future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years, driven by several key initiatives across its business segments.

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of NexGel's future revenue growth:

1. Expansion of Contract Manufacturing Business: NexGel has demonstrated significant growth in its contract manufacturing segment, which saw a 103% year-over-year increase in revenue during Q2 2025. This growth is fueled by increased demand from existing customers and the successful onboarding of new global corporations, such as Cintas and Owens & Minor. The company anticipates continued expansion in this area, with reorders from key partners like Cintas already commencing.
2. New Product Launches and Growth in Branded Consumer Products: The branded consumer products segment is a strong driver, experiencing a 95% year-over-year revenue increase in Q2 2025. This is largely attributed to the successful launch of new products under the Silly George brand, with additional beauty and skincare products expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue in Q3 and Q4 2025. Furthermore, NexGel plans to expand product lines for its Kenkoderm and MEDAGEL brands, targeting larger markets such as eczema solutions and new wound and burn kits.
3. Strategic Partnerships and Joint Product Development: NexGel is leveraging strategic partnerships to introduce new products. An expanded partnership with STADA is projected to result in new product launches as early as Q4 2025, supported by a $1 million non-dilutive funding from STADA for product launches and marketing. The company is also exploring new product channels in categories like cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices.
4. Advancements in Medical Device Applications: The integration of NexGel's hydrogels into iRhythm's Zio® ECG heart monitor represents an impactful application of its technology. NexGel is actively developing new medical devices, including NEXDrape, an incise surgical drape for patients with impaired skin, and NEXDerm, an adhesive tape for securing central lines and medical devices. The company expects increased research and development costs in this area, signaling its commitment to growth in the medical device sector.
