In 2023, about 17.7 percent of the American population was 65 years old or over; an increase from the last few years and a figure which is expected to reach 22.8 percent by 2050. This is a significant increase from 1950, when only eight percent of the population was 65 or over. A rapidly aging population In recent years, the aging population of the United States has come into focus as a cause for concern, as the nature of work and retirement is expected to change to keep up. If a population is expected to live longer than the generations before, the economy will have to change as well to fulfill the needs of the citizens. In addition, the birth rate in the U.S. has been falling over the last 20 years, meaning that there are not as many young people to replace the individuals leaving the workforce. The future population It’s not only the American population that is aging -- the global population is, too. By 2025, the median age of the global workforce is expected to be 39.6 years, up from 33.8 years in 1990. Additionally, it is projected that there will be over three million people worldwide aged 100 years and over by 2050.

In 2022, among people aged 65 years and above who had health coverage, **** percent non-Hispanic White Americans had private health insurance, while a further ** percent had Medicare Advantage. The majority of older adults in the U.S. were privately insured (with or without Medicare). This statistic illustrates the distribution of health insurance coverage among adults aged 65 and above in the U.S. in 2022, by race and coverage type.

In 2023, among people in the United States aged 65 years and above, 37.1 percent had healthcare coverage through Medicare Advantage. This statistic illustrates the distribution of health insurance coverage among adults aged 65 and above in the U.S. in 2023.

Gerontology Aging Market Outlook

The global gerontology aging market size was valued at USD 780 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1,350 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. This robust growth is primarily driven by the increasing aging population worldwide, advancements in medical technology, and rising awareness about the importance of elderly care.

One of the primary growth factors for the gerontology aging market is the rapidly increasing elderly population across the globe. With advancements in healthcare, life expectancy has significantly increased, resulting in a higher percentage of the population being aged 65 and above. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2050, the global population aged 60 years and older will total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015. This demographic shift necessitates enhanced geriatric care services and facilities, thus fueling market growth.

Another significant driver is the rising prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia are more common in older adults. Managing these chronic illnesses requires specialized care and services, which contributes to the expansion of the gerontology aging market. Additionally, the increasing awareness and focus on preventive healthcare measures among the elderly population is pushing the demand for wellness and prevention services.

Technological advancements in healthcare are also playing a crucial role in the growth of the gerontology aging market. Innovations such as telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and electronic health records are enhancing the quality of care for the elderly. These technologies enable continuous monitoring of health conditions, timely medical interventions, and better management of chronic diseases, thereby improving the overall healthcare experience for the aging population.

Regionally, North America holds a significant share of the gerontology aging market due to its advanced healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and the presence of major market players. Europe follows closely, driven by a large elderly population and government initiatives supporting elderly care. The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period, attributed to the increasing aging population, improving healthcare infrastructure, and rising healthcare awareness.

Service Type Analysis

The gerontology aging market is segmented by service type into home care, adult day care, and institutional care. Each of these services addresses different needs and preferences of the elderly population, contributing uniquely to the market's growth.

Home care services are gaining popularity due to the preference for aging in place among the elderly. These services include personal care, medical care, and assistance with daily activities, allowing older adults to stay in their homes while receiving necessary support. The convenience and comfort of home care, coupled with technological advancements such as telehealth and home monitoring systems, are driving the growth of this segment.

Adult day care services provide a safe and supportive environment for elderly individuals during the day, offering social activities, meals, and healthcare services. These facilities are particularly beneficial for older adults who require supervision and assistance but do not need full-time residential care. The increasing number of dual-income families and the need for respite care for caregivers are significant factors contributing to the growth of the adult day care segment.

Institutional care, which includes nursing homes and assisted living facilities, remains a crucial component of the gerontology aging market. These institutions provide comprehensive care for elderly individuals who require constant medical attention and support. The demand for institutional care is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the need for specialized care that cannot be provided at home. Additionally, the development of advanced facilities with specialized units for conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is boosting this segment.

Additional information on the aging population in the United States

High birth rates during the so-called baby boom years that followed World War II followed by lower fertility and morality rates have left the United States with a serious challenge in the 21st Century. However, the issue of an aging population is certainly not an issue unique to the United States. The age distribution of the global population shows that other parts of the world face a similar issue.

Within the United States, the uneven distribution of populations aged 65 years and over among states offers both major challenges and potential solutions. On the one hand, federal action over the issue may be contentious as other states are set to harbor the costs of elderly care in states such as California and Florida. That said, domestic migration from comparably younger states may help to fill gaps in the workforce left by retirees in others.

Nonetheless, aging population issues are set to gain further prominence in the political and economic decisions made by policymakers regardless of the eventual distribution of America’s elderly. Analysis of the financial concerns of Americans by age shows many young people still decades from retirement hold strong concern over their eventual financial position.

People in different subgroups age at different rates. Surveys containing biomarkers can be used to assess these subgroup differences. We illustrate this using hand-grip strength to produce an easily interpretable, physical-based measure that allows us to compare characteristic-based ages across educational subgroups in the United States. Hand-grip strength has been shown to be a good predictor of future mortality and morbidity, and therefore a useful indicator of population aging. Data from the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) were used. Two education subgroups were distinguished, those with less than a high school diploma and those with more education. Regressions on hand-grip strength were run for each sex and race using age and education, their interactions and other covariates as independent variables. Ages of identical mean hand-grip strength across education groups were compared for people in the age range 60 to 80. The hand-grip strength of 65 year old white males with less education was the equivalent to that of 69.6 (68.2, 70.9) year old white men with more education, indicating that the more educated men had aged more slowly. This is a constant characteristic age, as defined in the Sanderson and Scherbov article “The characteristics approach to the measurement of population aging” published 2013 in Population and Development Review. Sixty-five year old white females with less education had the same average hand-grip strength as 69.4 (68.2, 70.7) year old white women with more education. African-American women at ages 60 and 65 with more education also aged more slowly than their less educated counterparts. African American men with more education aged at about the same rate as those with less education. This paper expands the toolkit of those interested in population aging by showing how survey data can be used to measure the differential extent of aging across subpopulations.

The number of Americans aged 65 and over with Alzheimer's disease is projected to more than double by 2060, reaching **** million. This significant increase highlights the growing challenge of caring for an aging population, particularly those affected by dementia. As the prevalence of Alzheimer's rises, it will have far-reaching impacts on healthcare, families, and society as a whole. Aging population trends The surge in Alzheimer's cases is closely tied to broader demographic shifts in the United States. By 2050, it's estimated that 22 percent of the American population will be 65 years or older, up from 17.3 percent in 2022. This rapid aging of the population is expected to strain healthcare systems and change the nature of work and retirement. Challenges of aging in place As the number of older adults with Alzheimer's increases, there is a growing desire among seniors to age in their own homes. A 2024 survey found that ************** of adults aged 50 and older strongly or somewhat agreed they would like to remain in their current residence for as long as possible. This preference is even stronger among those 65 and older, with ** percent expressing this desire. However, the ability to age in place may be compromised by declining physical capabilities, as only about *** in **** adults aged 72 and older reported being fully able to perform self-care and mobility activities in 2021.
