According to WHO statistics, the proportion of the world's geriatric population will nearly double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. In 2020, the number of people aged 60 and more outweighed youngsters under the age of five. By 2050, 80% of the world's elderly would live in low- and middle-income countries.
The aging population is booming at a considerably higher rate than in the past. Rapidly increasing number of senior citizens is offering the necessary boost for the development of the elder care services sector.
Improved day-care facilities and increase in the number of aged care centers are boosting revenue generation. Several day care centers are prepared to give medicine and medical supervision by trained medical workers. The senior care industry's day care facilities sector is expanding because of increased use of day care services due to busy lives and the overall cost-effectiveness of such facilities.
Development of cell phone technologies and use of artificial intelligence in healthcare have given rise to various tracking applications and software, which are now used to monitor the medicine, diet, and even the movement of elderly patients. Few applications allow users to get notified about sudden body movements, such as a fall or an impending hazard. Diabetes-targeted applications and messaging tools are emerging as niche markets because of chronic illnesses among the elderly and advances in preventative care technologies.
Hospitalization fees for the elderly are a source for financial restrain on their families, because of the unavailability of end-to-end reimbursement policies for them. Discharged elderly patients opt for home-assisted living or long-term care by elderly caregivers. This approach is both, cost-effective and offers superior results.
Elderly individuals are more susceptible to hospital-acquired infections, and studies have shown that they are less anxious at home. Hospitals are involved in stabilizing patients before referring them to assisted living service providers for their comfort.

Several businesses are springing up offering a variety of pay-per-use homecare services, respite care, and home nursing services.
Growing public awareness of such services is driving market growth, thereby providing many opportunities for business expansion in the industry.
The U.S. exhibits a trend of retirement villages or communities designed to facilitate independent living for the elderly. These retirement centers are well-equipped with various amenities. Retirement communities have initiated to offer multiple levels of care at the same location. This feature allows residents to transition from independent living facilities to serviced apartments for higher-level care needs.
With the rise in disposable income of consumers, numerous benefits of these retirement communities are providing the necessary boost of opportunities for key providers of elder care solutions.
The Australian government has played a significant role in subsidizing and regulating the delivery of elderly care through private and not-for-profit providers. Non-government service providers supply both, residential and community-based care services, in Australia. Grants, user contributions, and volunteer care are all available as government subsidies for aged care services.
The Australian government covers roughly 70-85% of the cost of aged care services through reimbursements. Such government funding for elderly care services is an important driving factor for the aged care services market, globally.
North America is witnessing low fertility rates and is falling below the replacement fertility rates. Unstable fertility rates influence the overall economic growth of any region. Lower fertility rates indicate that the new generation is smaller than the one that came before and will struggle to support retirees.
Increase in the elderly dependent population in the North American region will have economic issues, giving rise to the need for caregiving by various service providers, and such a demographic shift has created the need for a successful elder care model in the region.
“Low Profits Margins for Aged Care Facilities”
Despite growing demand for elderly care facilities due to the growing geriatric population, the challenge is to generate profits. In the United States, the government maintains strict care, safety, and lifestyle standards for geriatric care facilities.
Ongoing care and supported living facilities have many characteristics that can contribute to lower profit margins. In addition, some facilities receive low refunds through government programs and tightly controlled refunds from insurance companies. This results in low profits.
Providers offer premium services that do not fall under government-regulated structures to benefit from elderly care services.
Moreover, dearth of qualified professionals who can take care of elderly patients is another reason for the elderly care services market experiencing less significant demand, especially in emerging and low-income countries.
