Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • HIMS acquires ZAVA, gaining 1.3 million users and access to U.K., Germany, France and Ireland markets.
  • HIMS to enter Canada, offering a low-cost weight loss program with generic semaglutide.
  • HIMS scales globally through acquisitions and local care to lead in chronic digital health treatment.

The renowned health and wellness platform, Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS - Free Report) , has taken significant strides in international expansion as a strategic lever to boost its business. A central milestone was the acquisition of ZAVA, a European digital health platform with operations across the U.K., Germany, France and Ireland. This acquisition, announced in June 2025, grants Hims & Hers access to over 1.3 million active customers and nearly 2.3 million consultations delivered in 2024 by ZAVA’s in-house medical team. The integration of ZAVA’s technology with Hims & Hers’ established brand positions it to deliver personalized, seamless digital healthcare across key European markets.

Building on this momentum, Hims & Hers announced a planned entry into the Canadian market, timed with the global debut of generic semaglutide — a major breakthrough for affordable obesity treatment. The Canadian expansion will allow the company to offer its holistic weight loss program at significantly lower costs compared to existing branded options. By combining digital accessibility, 24/7 provider support and reduced drug costs, Hims & Hers aims to transform weight loss care for Canadians, especially as nearly two-thirds of the adult population struggles with overweight or obesity issues.

These expansions reflect a clear growth roadmap leveraging both strategic acquisitions and organic scaling. By investing in localized care delivery, multilingual provider networks and category leadership in chronic condition treatment, Hims & Hers is effectively transforming from a U.S.-centric platform into a global digital health leader.
