At Apple’s new model launch held in September 2022, attention was focused on the new feature of the Apple Watch, the temperature sensor. By using these sensors to automatically measure the skin temperature of the wrist, for example, tracking the menstrual cycle of women, countermeasures against hormonal changes, fertility, irregular menstruation, and irregular bleeding. It can lead to early detection of diseases.
As exemplified by this example, efforts are being actively made around the world to use technology to solve health issues and health-related needs unique to females, and startups in the field of “FemTech” are also appearing one after another. is born. Menstruation, menopause and other topics used to feel like people were hesitant to talk about them openly in public, but in recent years there has been a big change. It is said that “problems are solved only when they are recognized”. Advances in technology have made it possible to solve various problems that were difficult to solve until now, but on the other hand, women’s health, which was considered embarrassing or should be tolerated, was rarely talked about. I feel that the creation of new ideas and solutions is accelerating as problems are being discussed more openly. The word “FemTech” is said to have been coined in 2016 by Mr. Ida Tin, the founder of Clue, which provides the menstrual cycle management app introduced in this report.

Going forward, double-digit growth is expected every year, and there are predictions that the market size will reach $13 billion by 2030*3. As these figures suggest, as women’s issues become more and more openly discussed, and as technology develops, I think the field of FemTech will become even more active. You can
With this in mind, this report introduces startups in the FemTech field, and examples of collaboration/introduction between major companies and startups. In addition, the special page lists startups in the “MenTech” field that aim to solve problems unique to men. Although not covered this time, startups that provide healthcare services targeting LBGTQ+ have also emerged, and we would like to keep an eye on future trends.
