Where To Focus Your Women's Health Research

Women make up half of the world’s population. However, not including oncology, trials researching solutions for female conditions make up less than 2% of the global clinical research pipeline.1
However, much of that is changing. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women make around 80% of healthcare purchasing decisions, whether for themselves or for their households.2 What’s more, the Femtech industry is projected to earn $1.1 billion in revenue by 2024.3 This exciting growth is due to factors that include the increased normalization of discussing and seeking help for women’s health issues, as well as greater access to disposable income, smartphones, internet connections, and digital literacy than ever before.1
While there is progress being made, the current states of maternal health, endometriosis, and menopause are just a few areas where female healthcare needs are not being met and are only a sample of the areas in which clinical research can make a difference. Discover opportunities for profit and improving women's lives with Femtech and women’s health trials — especially if they’re centered around what women need.
