Changing Lifestyle and Lifestyle-Associated Disorders Are Expected to Propel the Growth of the Global Women's Healthcare Market
Rapid urbanization has resulted in major lifestyle changes across the globe for millions of people. Additionally, urbanization partly explains the rise of women in the workforce. A large proportion of today's workforce is composed of women. Therefore, a fast-paced and hectic lifestyle is leading to a variety of hazardous lifestyle choices, including poor eating habits, sedentary behavior, and inconsistent sleeping patterns, among others. PCOS is one of the most common lifestyle disorders in women. Moreover, a poor diet has resulted in a major deficiency in iron in most women, resulting in anemia. Other lifestyle disorders include obesity, infertility, diabetes, general anxiety disorder, etc.
According to the New Indian Express, 68% of women suffer from lifestyle disorders, and 53% skip meals and opt for junk food due to work pressure deadlines. Additionally, 80% of urban Indian working women within the age range of 25-45 are overweight due to stress and sedentary lifestyle. Thus, the emergence of such a wide variety of disorders due to lifestyle changes has resulted in the growing demand for various drugs and other commodities, which has stimulated the global women's healthcare market to grow.
Multiple Side-Effects of Medicines is Restraining the Growth of the Global Women's Healthcare Market
Side effects are a major concern for the global women's healthcare market, as they can lead to further deterioration of the user's health. The majority of women's health care drugs are hormone-based, which can lead to some serious physiological adverse effects. According to the Office on Women's Health (OWH), there are studies that prove that taking birth control pills can increases a person's chance of developing blood clots and hypertension, which can further lead to heart attack or stroke. Flutamide, a PCOS-treating drug, is associated with severe hepatotoxicity and secondary death. Moreover, among patients with PCOS, metformin is often prescribed for insulin sensitivity, which can cause Lactic Acidosis. Moreover, according to the National Cancer Institute, taking birth control pills may affect a person's chance of suffering from cancer in the following ways:
Breast Cancer- The risk of breast cancer multiplies in people taking combined pills.
Cervical Cancer- Taking the pill for longer than 5 years is linked to higher risk for cervical cancer.
Ovarian & Endometrial Cancer – Cancer is less likely in this case.
Therefore, women need further treatment in order to cure these side effects. Thus, these side effects not only worsen a woman's health condition but also cause severe inconvenience by forcing them to spend more financial resources in order to get the right treatment. Hence, these side-effects prove to be a major threat to the global women's healthcare market.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis segment held the largest market share in the global women's healthcare market in 2020
Based on application, the market is segmented into hormonal infertility, postmenopausal osteoporosis, endometriosis, contraceptives, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome. Among these, the postmenopausal osteoporosis segment accounted for the largest share in the global women's healthcare market in 2020. Osteoporosis becomes more prevalent after menopause because it is closely linked to oestrogen deficiency; thus, postmenopausal women are more likely to suffer from primary osteoporosis. When oestrogen levels drop in the menopause transition period, bone resorption becomes greater than bone production, resulting in osteoporosis. Each year, more than ten million such cases are reported in India. The large number of cases and increasing population of women aged 50 and higher are contributing significantly to the dominant market share of the segment in global women's healthcare market.

Women's healthcare market in North America has been booming due to the increasing prevalence of early pregnancies, as well as postmenopausal osteoporosis.

These two countries have invested significantly in the healthcare business, which has fueled the expansion of the North American women's healthcare market in this region.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Women's healthcare Market
COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the entire world, affecting all industries and markets. Countries are still trying to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and bring things together. Despite the ongoing mass vaccination programs, the second and third waves of COVID-19, along with mutant varieties of the virus, have posed a challenge to combat the deadly virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a greater impact in numerous areas, both at work and at home, due to increased workload as a result of lockdown and the stringent quarantine restrictions imposed by the governments of different countries. As a result, women, who have to balance both a career and their domestic duties, are at a higher risk of anxiety, sadness, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These significant concerns have sparked a discussion on the importance of focusing on women's healthcare during the pandemic phase, which in turn has created new potential for the growth of the women's healthcare sector.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has been an upsurge in the incidence of neonatal and maternal problems in COVID-19 and pregnant mothers.
