MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities, and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

"Rising focus on employee engagement and flexible working options Fuels Growth"

One of the key catalysts of the Silver Economy market growth, especially for industries that cater to the seniors, is the rising focus on employee engagement. The market is also on the upward trend as there is a global shift towards more flexible working options such as working remotely or in a hybrid set up, as older people tend to prefer such options to enable them to have a better work-life balance.

Restraining Factor

"Lack of suitably qualified caregivers raise costs and sustainability concerns."

A more serious limitation in the Silver Economy market is the lack of suitably qualified caregivers. There has been an increasing demand for services directed towards the elderly, like nursing and home care, that has not been matched by the supply of skilled workers in most regions, more so in the rural areas. Such a deficiency strains the health care system and leads to higher expenses in the provision of care services. In order to fill the gap, however, there is a need for workforce development and training programs for caregivers that will enable them to give quality care for the seniors.

Opportunity

"Increase in the use of smart homes and IoT devices boosts market growth."

In the case of market opportunities surrounding the Silver Economy, one of the most fruitful can be gleaned from the increase in the use of smart homes and IoT devices.

Such technologies may include simple gadgets like a smart thermostat, automated lightening, health monitoring wearables among others.

Challenge

"Increasing requirements of health services hinder market growth potential."

Many of the older people are retired and have little or no insurance coverage that may help them deal with the expenses incurred in seeking healthcare. This especially rings true for aged individuals who need to be taken care of for a long time either at home or in an institution. To counter these hurdles, there are rising calls for cost-effective healthcare solutions and creation of unique cover plans to help mitigate the costs associated with taking care of the elderly.
