According to World Health Organisation, the aging market economy boom in Asia is expected to occur from 2020 – 2025. The biggest economy opportunities would be the middle-income and high net worth market segment, i.e. the baby boomers market, which estimated to reach $15trillion this year. It is projected the following products and services that would appeal to baby boomers market:
| • | Elderly housing – from an integrated retirement home with recreational, wellness and medical programmes to luxury resort style living |
| • | Wellness and healthcare programmes, products and services to support active ageing and ageing-in-place |
| • | Home care and geriatric care services |
