Executive Summary
The women's health opportunity in the US is $2.75 billion on an annual basis, and it's growing at a compounded rate of 16% per year. Looking forward, demographics, the aging of the population, and technological innovations will continue to fuel growth. New technologies promise to cause one particular category in women's health to blossom; the treatment of uterine fibroids. According to "Women's Health: US Markets for Benign Uterine Condition Management Products," a report recently published by the Medtech Insight division of Windhover Information Inc., the number of fibroid treatments is expected to increase at a compound annual rate of 21.3%.
