Senior care opportunity

America’s population is aging. The number of people aged 65 and up is expected to surge 47% from 2022 to 2050, according to the Population Reference Bureau. The age group’s share of the population will increase from 17% to 23%.

This shift in demographics is expected to boost demand for assistive care needed by seniors.

In 2024, the global market for elder care services and assistive devices was estimated at $868.2 billion, according to BCC Research. The industry is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.8% and reach $1.1 trillion by 2029.

For those looking to get a piece of this growing pie, investors may want to research these pure-play stocks.
