The business of menopause is booming, but a care gap persists

The global menopause market is projected to reach as much as $25 billion by 2030, with an annual growth of 8% to 10%. A PwC analysis notes that private investment is on the upswing, growing 15% annually the past five years, adding that “as employers, providers and investors increasingly recognize menopause as both a care delivery gap and a workforce issue, the category is becoming more investable.” The report says 25% of U.S. employers offer dedicated menopause benefits, compared to only 4% just three years ago, but “many employees don’t know these benefits exist or how to access them.” Studies have found that more than 80% of women never seek medical care for menopause symptoms.
