Yano Research Institute Ltd., an independent marketing research company, and Woman’s (Kabushiki Kaisha Double Collection), an industry trend and consumer analysis company specializing in the women’s market, will co-host the online¹ seminar.

Following FemTech, the word “gendered innovation” has recently started to be heard frequently. While this perspective is highly sought after in all industries, the healthcare industry, in particular, which inherently requires gender gap analysis, is expected to be a market driver. The healthcare industry is said to be prone to inspire the gendered innovation, as it has established a major “FemTech” trend that focuses on women-specific health issues. Yano, which published a FemTech market report (Female Care and FemTech Market (Consumer Goods & Services) 2021) in September 2021, and Woman’s, specializing in the women’s healthcare market, will discuss about “gendered innovation” from practical perspectives such as “What is gendered innovation?” and “What are some examples?, which can be applied to the development and marketing of women’s healthcare.
