Gelteq introduces SportsGel with China deal in H1 2025

NEW YORK - Gelteq Limited (NASDAQ:GELS), a global biotechnology firm with a market capitalization of $20.8 million known for its ingestible gel technology, has unveiled its new SportsGel brand, designed to challenge the traditional sports nutrition supplements market. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has experienced significant volatility, declining over 20% in the past week alone. The company’s Co-Founder and CEO, Nathan Givoni, announced that the brand aims to address the balance between performance and factors like taste, mouthfeel, and convenience.

The launch of SportsGel is coupled with Gelteq’s recent distribution agreement in the Asia-Pacific region with WPIC Marketing and Technologies, a company experienced in introducing global brands to this market. The initial rollout of SportsGel is set to commence in China, tapping into the country’s burgeoning health and fitness industry, which boasted a market value of $6.5 billion in 2022, with expected annual growth of 9.1% through 2027. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company currently operates with moderate debt levels and faces challenges with short-term liquidity, factors that could influence its expansion plans.

SportsGel will initially offer products specifically designed for running and cycling, as well as a functional hydration product, with plans to expand its offerings throughout the year. The agreement with WPIC is a strategic move to extend SportsGel’s reach into the Asia Pacific, starting with the significant Chinese market.

Gelteq’s recent appointee, Head of Sports Performance Matthew Jones, will oversee the formulation of the SportsGel products, which will be available for licensing to companies interested in leveraging Gelteq’s proprietary delivery system within the sports nutrition sector.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, Gelteq operates across five core verticals, including pharmaceuticals and sports nutrition, offering unique gel-based delivery solutions that address common issues associated with traditional drug delivery methods. While the company maintains a 100% gross profit margin, InvestingPro data indicates it is currently trading above its Fair Value, with additional insights available to subscribers, including 6 key ProTips that could help investors make more informed decisions about this emerging player in the biotechnology sector.
