BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Description:
Women’s Health is a branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention and diagnosis of diseases that affect a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. It encompasses a broad variety of treatments, drugs, and surgical products for diseases related to women.
Emerging Growth Opportunities in Women’s Health Industry
The rising prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases amongst a large group of the female population is a key factor driving the women’s health market. Recent advances in genomics, tissue engineering, artificial intelligence, and cell and gene therapy have synergized a new wave of healthcare innovations that can be applied to create products and solutions specific to women's conditions.
For example, researchers are studying transcriptomics (the study of RNA molecules in a cell) for treating elusive conditions such as preeclampsia or preterm birth. Genomics is another research area that can help researchers in realizing the potential of personalized medicine. There has been extraordinary growth in terms of technology from predictive AI solutions to modeling unique DNA profiles. A favorable environment for research activities is expected to further drive growth opportunities in this market.
“Women’s health is not a niche market; it includes much more than just maternal or reproductive care. Indeed, women’s healthcare presents enormous opportunities for value creation and for improving the lives and livelihoods of women, with positive effects that redound across society.” -Executive Vice President, Global Operations and Supply Chain, Women’s Health Company, US
Key Challenges/ Constraints
The high cost associated with clinical care in some countries and side effects associated with the usage of few women's health drugs (such as night sweats, headache, nausea, and difficulty sleeping) is likely to restrain the growth of the women’s health market.
North America: The Largest Women’s Health Market
North America has the largest women’s health market, followed by Europe and APAC. The large share of North America can be attributed to the strong economies of the US and Canada, established reimbursement policies, early approval & commercialization of products, and the presence of key market players in this region. APAC holds a minor share in the global market.
Competitive Landscape Analysis
The key players operating in the women’s health market are AbbVie Inc, Eli Lilly, Pfizer Inc., Merck & Co., Ferring Pharmaceuticals, LUPIN, Bayer AG, AstraZeneca, Novartis AG, Mithra Pharmaceuticals, Allergan, among others.
Key Market Trends
The women’s health market is a quite steady but competitive market marked by the presence of both established and new players. Players operating in the market adopt both organic and inorganic growth strategies such as collaborations and acquisitions to garner market share. For instance,

- In November 2021, Organon announced the acquisition of Forendo Pharma, a clinical-stage drug development company focused on novel treatments for women’s health.
