Women's Health Business, Legal & Investment Advocacy

Overview

The women's health and wellness industry is expanding rapidly, presenting exciting opportunities.

Our team provides strategic guidance to clients navigating the unique challenges and complexities of this evolving and often misunderstood field.

Globally, the women’s health market was estimated at $49.33 billion in 2024 and is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 5.1 percent between 2025 and 2030, fueled in part by an aging population and the development of new therapeutic products tailored to women’s health.

Historically, the women’s health and wellness industry has faced challenges in attracting investment due to underrecognized market potential, a limited pool of innovators, minimal prior investments in the sector, and a shifting political and regulatory landscape.

Today, there is widespread acknowledgment of the white space and untapped market opportunity in women’s health. This has created significant momentum around innovation, including, but not limited to, FemTech, to improve health care experiences, access, and outcomes for women at every stage of their life cycle.

As one of the nation’s premier law firms practicing in both health care and employment law, Epstein Becker Green is exceptionally well positioned to guide clients navigating women’s health care innovation, delivery, and benefit coverage. Our attorneys, along with consultants from our affiliate, EBG Advisors, Inc. (EBGA), and strategic advisors and advocates from National Health Advisors (NHA), provide strategic legal, business, and advocacy advice to investors, health care providers, FemTech companies, employers, and other women’s health organizations.
