In 2020, data from Statista revealed that 15.2% of Singapore’s population consisted of citizens aged 65 years or older. The research also revealed that approximately a third of the total population will consist of elderly citizens by 2050. With Singapore recognized as one of the fastest aging societies in Asia, there is an urgent need to develop eldercare within the country.  

The Singapore eldercare industry presents intriguing business opportunities, especially with the application of digital solutions and innovative technology. The eldercare business is quickly emerging as a prevalent trend that investors should pay close attention to in 2022 and in the years to come.

Exploring Related Opportunities
From telemedicine to diversified living models, the application of technology in eldercare presents several promising opportunities for providers. Although, because the adoption of these digital solutions naturally entails collaboration, other industries like manufacturing, tech start-ups, or even cybersecurity may also capitalize on this trend.

Furthermore, depending on how elder technology will develop in the coming years, solutions like health monitoring and mobility aids may prove to be beneficial outside of eldercare. The growth achieved in the eldercare industry may very well have a positive impact on the future of several closely related industries, like healthcare, manufacturing, tech, etc.
