The Market
For the first time in history, people age 65 and over will outnumber children under age five. This trend is emerging around the globe. Today, almost 500 million people are age 65 and over, accounting for over eight percent of the world’s population. By 2040 the world is likely to have 1.3 billion older people, accounting for 14 percent of the total population. By 2040, the numbers of people 65 years and older is projected to increase by 160 percent while people 80 years and older is projected to increase by 233 percent. Today’s proportions of older people typically are highest in more developed countries.
