The earth is now home to over 8 billion inhabitants, with the global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. As humans live longer and find ways to extend longevity, this presents new investment opportunities.

The megatrend of population ageing inevitably presents investment opportunities spanning healthcare, elderly care, beauty, leisure and travel, food and nutrition, and financial planning over the longer term.

With the growing interest in longevity, and the changing demographics, our Next Generation Research team has identified five business segments to keep on the radar:

1. Nutrition and healthcare: Medical care services for age-related chronic diseases and health conditions, as well as increased demand for supplements and nutritional programs.
2. Elder care: As people over 65 face increased difficulty hearing, seeing, remembering and walking, there is also opportunity in services that help with these difficulties.
3. Financial planning: With extended longevity, people must rely on retirement savings and pensions longer. This makes saving or investing for retirement even more important.
4. Beauty: Beyond the biomedical and healthcare aspects of extended longevity, anti-aging products and the global beauty industry continue to remain resilient and appeal to a wide audience.
5. Leisure: Higher discretionary income among older adults means more opportunities for leisure-time activities such as cruises and wellness.

The global beauty industry is said to be worth around US$420 billion and is likely to remain resilient, partly supported by an ageing population that still wants to look good. While many key markets across Asia-Pacific, Northern America, and Western Europe, accounting for nearly 80 per cent of spending in 2022, took a hit during the pandemic, the industry has seen a solid recovery and continues to grow.

According to a recent survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons, as many as 85 per cent of adults in the United States who are above 50 rank travel and vacation as the top priority for their discretionary spending.
