Overview

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) reported sales of $3.4 billion in its consumer business in its fiscal first quarter. About 7% of that came from its women’s health business, which declined ~4.6% on an operational basis in the quarter. In fiscal 2017, the business registered an operational sales decline of 3.7%. Declining segment sales were driven by competitive pressures and a category decline in Europe and India.

According to JNJ, it’s the fourth-largest company in the women’s health products market. Its women’s health business is expected to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of ~3% from 2o17 to 2022. By 2022, the women’s health business is expected to grow to ~$7 billion globally.
