Menopause landscape

There are more than 15.5m women in the UK alone, and 1 billion globally, who are currently in menopause. Yet, as found in GenM’s Menopause Market Report, their needs are underserved and they feel invisible. Retailers and brands often overlook the specific demands of this demographic and how best to serve them.
