Description
The infrastructure of longevity is becoming a new global real estate opportunity
The world is entering an unprecedented demographic transition. Longer lives, declining fertility rates, changing family structures and the rapid expansion of older populations are creating new requirements for housing, services, healthcare, technology and community.
The global population aged 65 and over is projected to reach approximately 1.6 billion people by 2050, while the number of people aged 80 and above is expected to rise even faster.
This transformation will have profound consequences for Real Estate.
The key question is no longer simply how many older people there will be.
The real questions are:
Where will they live?
How will they want to live?
What services will they require?
Which models will be financially viable?
Who will finance and operate these assets?
And who will build the residential infrastructure required by the longevity society of 2050?
The FIFTIERS™ × NEXTAGE™ Global Senior Living Outlook 2030/2050 has been created to answer these questions.
It is not simply a demographic report and it is not a report about traditional retirement homes.
It is an international intelligence report on the emergence of Senior Living as a global investment, Real Estate and operating category at the intersection of housing, hospitality, healthcare, wellness, technology and longevity.
