The women's health arena, both therapeutics and diagnostics, has grown considerably as a specialty medical field. Once limited to obstetrics and gynecology, it now includes other fields, such as urology, maternal-fetal medicine, as well as autoimmune disease and cystic fibrosis. At many clinics and practices focused on the health of women, a range of specialties are offered, which often results in a need for specific types of women's health-related testing. Generally, and from a perspective on women's health, diagnostics are playing an ever increasing role.

Worldwide, women are living longer than men. There is a need to improve the understanding of the differences, in terms of health, between the sexes and to translate that knowledge into improved medical diagnostics, practice and therapies.

Kalorama Information's Women's Health Diagnostic Markets analyzes the current and potential world markets for key diagnostic tests targeted at women's health. This report generally forecasts future market growth for these tests to 2018. Market segments covered include the US, Europe, China, Brazil, Japan and rest of world markets.
