Deloitte estimates $527 billion in additional US women’s health spending
The estimate is tied to earlier detection and prevention shifting care patterns, amid rising cardiovascular and musculoskeletal costs around menopause.
Women are projected to account for about 56% of total US healthcare spending by 2030, according to actuarial modeling by Deloitte, cited in an Insurance Business article.
Deloitte’s report models $527 billion in additional potential US women’s health spending by 2030, described as the difference between a baseline spending trajectory and a scenario where care shifts toward earlier detection and prevention.
The analysis links major long-term cost drivers to conditions that are not reproductive, including cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, which it says build across decades and tend to accelerate around the menopausal transition and afterward.
The article also notes that heart disease affects approximately 60 million US women, or about 44% of the female population, and that in 2023 it accounted for about one in five deaths among women in the US, based on separate American Heart Association data.
