Women's health pertains to the area of medicine and healthcare dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and conditions that uniquely impact women. This field covers various issues, including reproductive health, menstrual health, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and conditions like breast and ovarian cancers. It also tackles other health concerns that disproportionately affect women, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders.
The primary categories of products related to women's health include devices, drugs, and pharmaceutical pipelines. Women's health devices are instrumental in treating medical conditions specific to women. This includes individuals aged 50 years and older, who may undergo hormonal treatment, non-hormonal treatment, and surgeries for a range of applications. These applications span postmenopausal osteoporosis, hormonal infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, contraceptives, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). These women's health products are made available through various distribution channels, including hospitals, retail stores, and online pharmacies.

The women's health market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $43.53 billion in 2024 to $45.5 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in reproductive medicine, awareness and education initiatives, empowerment and advocacy movements, prenatal and postnatal care advances, development of hormone replacement therapies.
The women's health market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $58.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision medicine in gynecology, rise in female-focused clinical trials, expanded use of non-invasive prenatal testing, expanded access to fertility treatments, increasing focus on mental health.

The escalating prevalence of women-centric diseases stands as a significant driver propelling the growth trajectory of the women's health market. A surge in conditions such as anemia, osteoporosis, breast cancer, menopause, and others, attributed to diverse risk factors like family history, advancing age, early onset of menstruation or menopause post-55 years, obesity, among others, is fueling the demand for women's health products and services. These offerings cater to treating these diseases while prioritizing the overall health and wellness of women. For example, the American Cancer Society's report published in January 2023 highlighted cervical cancer's historical status as a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among American women. An estimated 13,960 new cases of invasive cervical cancer are projected to be diagnosed in the USA in 2023, with approximately 4,310 anticipated fatalities. Hence, the escalating incidence of women-centric diseases is steering the expansion of the women's health market.
An upsurge in the aging populace emerges as a significant catalyst propelling the advancement of the women's health market. The demographic shift towards an aging population, characterized by a burgeoning proportion of individuals aged 65 and above, necessitates an increased focus on women's health needs. Women within this demographic encounter a higher prevalence of diseases such as osteoporosis, breast cancer, and menopause-related issues. This demographic shift underscores the augmented demand for specialized women's health services and products. It accentuates the significance of preventive measures, screenings, and tailored healthcare interventions aimed at preserving the well-being and enhancing the quality of life for older women. Notably, the World Health Organization's October 2022 report predicts that by 2030, 1 in 6 individuals globally will be aged 60 years or older, with the population of people aged 60 years and older anticipated to double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion. Thus, the burgeoning aging population significantly propels the women's health market.
Developments in women's health represent a significant trend within the women's health market. Leading companies in this sector are creating new products to bolster their market position. For example, in July 2022, GE Healthcare, a US-based medical technology firm, introduced the Voluson Expert 22. This new addition to the company's women's health portfolio utilizes graphic-based beam former technology, providing exceptional image quality and improved flexibility in imaging capabilities. The system is equipped with advanced tools powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), ensuring greater consistency in examinations while minimizing the number of tasks needed.
Major players in the women's health market are integrating innovative technologies like Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to solidify their position. TENS is a non-invasive therapeutic technique involving a battery-operated device that emits low-voltage electrical currents through electrode pads placed on specific body areas. This technology, exemplified by Myoovi's September 2023 launch in the UK, offers relief for painful menstruation cramps. By generating electrical signals, TENS interferes with and obstructs pain signals attempting to reach the brain, thereby minimizing pain. This drug-free alternative helps women manage the discomfort associated with menstrual cramps, offering a promising solution.
In March 2024, Halma, a UK-based technology firm, acquired Rovers Medical Devices (Rovers) for $92.63 million. This acquisition expands Halma's offerings in the women's health sector, specifically in cervical cancer diagnostics, and supports its objective of enhancing its position in cancer diagnosis products. Rovers Medical Devices, based in the Netherlands, specializes in designing and manufacturing sample collection devices intended for the diagnosis and prevention of cervical cancer.
