Technavio analysts highlight the following three factors that are contributing to the growth of the global women's health diagnostics market:

  • Reimbursements for human papillomavirus (HPV) tests
  • Rise in breast cancer screening
  • Increasing gynecological diseases in older women

eimbursements for human papillomavirus (HPV) tests



Coverage for HIV testing is provided by most insurance companies in the US and Europe. In the US, Medicaid and private healthcare in Maryland, Texas, New Mexico, West Virginia, North Carolina, and California cover HPV testing as recommended by medical regulatory authorities. The test is routinely used by women aged 30 years and above and as a follow-up to an inconclusive Pap test result for women of all ages.

Barath Palada a lead in-vitro diagnostics research analyst at Technavio, says, "Growing reimbursements in the Americas and EMEA will help increase the market adoption of diagnostic products. Though APAC is a potential region in this market owing to the growing prevalence of cervical cancer, due to lack of reimbursements, the adoption of HPV testing is low in the market. However, by developing low-cost products and conducting cervical cancer screening programs, manufacturers can increase their market share, which can impact the market growth positively."


Rise in breast cancer screening

According to OECD (2015), one in 9 women acquires breast cancer in their lifetime. Most OECD countries such as Czech Republic, India, and China have adopted breast cancer screening programs, which help in the detection of cancer cases with the use of mammography units.

"In most of the countries in the Americas and EMEA, reimbursements are provided for mammograms and diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Invenia ABUS is widely used for breast imaging in women for the detection of cancer," says Barath.

Increasing gynecological diseases in older women
