The widespread and expanding efficacy of GLP-1 agonist drugs, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, primarily from competitors like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. These drugs are demonstrating benefits beyond their initial indications for diabetes and obesity, showing positive outcomes in areas like cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, and potentially other conditions. Johnson & Johnson does not currently possess a leading drug in this class. This trend poses an emerging threat by potentially disrupting JNJ's pharmaceutical pipeline in various therapeutic areas and, in the longer term, could reduce demand for certain MedTech products (e.g., orthopedic implants related to obesity-induced arthritis, bariatric surgery devices) if the prevalence of obesity-related comorbidities significantly declines.

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) over the next 2-3 years:
-
Robust Innovative Medicine Pipeline and Recently Launched Products: Johnson & Johnson's Innovative Medicine segment is a primary driver of future revenue growth, with an anticipated operational sales growth of 5-7% from 2025-2030. This growth is expected to be fueled by a strong pipeline projected to deliver more than 20 novel therapies and over 50 product expansions by 2030. Key in-market brands like Darzalex, Erleada, Tremfya, and Spravato continue to perform strongly. Additionally, recently launched oncology drugs such as Carvykti, Tecvayli, Talvey, and Rybrevant/Lazcluze are expected to contribute significantly to sales. The company remains confident in its ability to grow the Innovative Medicine segment despite the loss of exclusivity for Stelara.
-
Expansion in High-Growth MedTech Markets and New Product Introduction: The MedTech segment is forecast to achieve operational sales growth in the upper range of its markets, projected at 5-7% through 2027. This expansion is driven by a strategic focus on high-growth areas including interventional cardiovascular, robotics, and digital surgery. A significant portion of this growth, approximately one-third of 2027 sales, is expected to come from new products. Innovations like the Velys robotic system and the Ottava multi-port surgical robotic system are key to this strategy.
-
Strategic Acquisitions and Business Development: Johnson & Johnson actively pursues strategic acquisitions and licensing agreements to bolster its portfolio and expand market reach. For example, the acquisitions of Abiomed and Shockwave Medical have significantly strengthened the company's position in the high-growth cardiovascular intervention market. These targeted acquisitions contribute to inorganic growth and help offset potential revenue declines from patent expirations.
