European Markets for Women’s Health Devices 2011

In 2010, the market for women’s health devices in Europe was valued at €667.6 million. The main conditions dealt with by women’s health professionals in Europe are osteoporosis, cancer, incontinence, infertility and menstrual complications. Increasingly, sub-specialties are arising, particularly in gynecology, as urologists and oncologists move into the territory originally considered a gynecology specialty, and gynecologists move into urology and other surgery specialties.
