Impact of COVID-19 on Vasomotor Symptoms Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the vasomotor symptoms market.

This boosted the drug and device segment of the vasomotor symptoms market.

Market players are investing in innovative services, apps and mobile-based solutions for tracking symptom progression, medication schedules, and menstrual cycles from home. Collaboration with diagnostic chains and laboratories will also help expand access and community-based screening programs in smaller towns and rural areas.
