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 2021, about **** million people aged 65 years or older were living in California -- the most out of any state. In that same year, Florida, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania rounded out the top five states with the most people aged 65 and over living there.

As of January 2024, the population aged over 65 years in Spain amounted to **** million people, thus continuing the upward trend witnessed in previous years. Between 2002 and 2024, the elderly population increased by almost ***** million. According to recent data, people aged over 65 years represent nearly a fifth of the Spanish population. Ageism, a growing concern As it is happening in most advanced economies, the Spanish population is getting older. The Mediterranean country featured a median age of **** years in 2020, and it is forecast to reach 51.8 years in 2050. Life expectancy and the fertility rate are experiencing opposite trends, and while the former keeps improving, the latter continue to decrease. As a result, the Spanish population pyramid is turning into the contracting type, which has worrying social and economic consequences. Poverty among seniors The average amount of a retirement pension in the country is just over ***** euros a month, though this figure depends on the scheme and place of residence. There were almost *** million persons receiving a monthly retirement pension which amounted to *** euros or less in 2023. This scarce allowance can be insufficient to provide a good quality of life. Most recent data shows that over ** percent of those aged 65 or older were at risk of poverty, an extremely high rate even though this was one of the age groups that featured the lowest risk of poverty. On average, ** percent of the spending among this age group is channeled towards housing, water, electricity and fuels, which leaves little room for spending on other items (food, dress, services, etc.) for those millions of people whose retirement pension is not even close to the national minimum wage.

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.

In 2023, 40-59-year-olds made up the largest age group in Germany, at almost 23 million people. The most recent figures confirm that the next-largest age group was 65 years and older, at 18.89 million. Aging population With the number of people belonging to older age groups visibly outstripping younger ones, in recent years it has become clear that Germany’s population is aging. In fact, figures on age structure in Germany depict a constant trend of a slowly increasing population share aged over 65 since 2012. Meanwhile, the share of population members aged 0 to 14 years has been falling, which was also reflected in the fluctuating national birth rate in recent years. A look at the future Germany’s current total population stands at 84.7 million. While this number is predicted to increase, the same goes for the age group of 65 years and older. This means that the national population will continue to age.

ObjectivesThis study aims to analyze the prevalence, impact, and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADRD) among adults aged 65 years and older worldwide, across different regions and countries, spanning the years 1991–2021.MethodsGBD 2021 obtained data on dementia from vital registration systems, published scientific literature and surveys, and data from health-service encounters on deaths, excess mortality, prevalence, and incidence from 1991 to 2021, through systematic review and additional data-seeking efforts. Individuals aged ≥65 years from 21 regions and 204 countries and territories (Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors Study 2021) from 1991 to 2021 were analyzed. Primary outcomes were ADRD related to aged ≥65 years age-standardized prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and average annual percentage change (AAPC), and the fractions of these metrics that were attributable to three risk factors (high BMI, high fasting glucose, and smoking) that met GBD.ResultsThe global mortality of ADRD among adults aged ≥65 years increased by 115%, from 6.5 (95% UI 1.5–18) per 100,000 population in 1991 to 14 (95% UI 3.5–37) per 100,000 population in 2021, with an Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) of 1.10% (95%CI 0.45%−1.76%). The prevalence of ADRD in adults aged ≥65 years increased by 160% between 1991 and 2021, from 18.7 (95%UI 14.9–23.2) million to 49 (95%UI 38.6–61.2) million. The aged ≥65 years age-standardized prevalence of ADRD in this age group increased from 11,977 (95%UI 9,438–14,935) per 100,000 population in 1991 to 12,124 (95%UI 9,489–15,204) per 100,000 population in 2021. The aged ≥65 years the number of prevalent persons was more significant among females than among males (males: from 6.2 (95%UI 4.8–7.8) million in 1991 to 17.2 (95%UI 13.4–21.6) million in 2021; women: from 12.5 (95%UI 10.0–15.4) million in 1991 to 31.7 (95%UI 25.1–39.6) million in 2021). In 2021, ADRD in adults aged ≥65 years caused 8.02 (95%UI 1.34–22.19) million deaths and 25.38 (95%UI 23.18–71.20) million DALYs attributable to dementia, and high BMI, high fasting glucose, and smoking remained modifiable risk factors in all risk factors.ConclusionsFrom 1991 to 2021, the worldwide prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias among adults aged 65 and above has increased by 1.6 times, largely driven by the expanding older adults. This escalating trend poses significant challenges to the global healthcare system in terms of both mortality rates and disability-adjusted life years. We recommend that standardized screening programmes be promoted globally, especially in high-risk areas and among high-risk populations, for early detection and intervention of the disease. Secondly, we recommend strengthening the management of risk factor elements.
