FemHealth Focus

The women’s health market is estimated to have a global value of $48.2bn. Although currently largely concentrated in the US, Europe is fast catching up.

Women’s health holds immense potential, yet glaring health inequalities between the sexes persist. Research published by McKinsey and the World Economic Forum in 2024 identifies disparities across the entire care pathway, from prevention to treatment and follow-up care. And the gaps extend beyond care delivery, encompassing the research, data, and investment that underpin it.

Read our series of reports

Mills & Reeve is hosting a series of roundtable events around the country focusing on how each of these gaps can be addressed to overcome the barriers to better health outcomes for women.

Bringing together key stakeholders from across the science, healthcare services, policy, business and investment sectors, each event will explore a key issue facing women's health:

  • investment and support
  • research and data
  • policy and strategy

Part 3: Current realities and future horizons

This report explores the NHS’s vital role in advancing women’s health in the UK, despite ongoing structural and financial pressures. At an April 2025 roundtable, sector leaders and innovators discussed how corporates and insurers can help scale innovation to improve access and outcomes for women.

Part 2: Alternative routes to scale

Early-stage companies aiming to bridge gaps in the women’s health market, many of which are women-led, will be looking for additional opportunities to grow which may include partnerships, collaborations, contracting and mentorship.

Participants shared their experiences including working with accelerator programmes and securing grant-funding as well as contracting with the NHS and collaborating with the private sector.

Part 1: Investment opportunities

At the end of 2024, in Manchester, Mills & Reeve hosted a roundtable focused on investment, and how the city and the wider North West is championing women’s health businesses through funding, partnerships and support.

Whilst the outlook might seem gloomy, part one of the series outlines the key discussions of that afternoon and focuses on the opportunities and barriers to financial investment.
