Younger because the quality of our health will enable us to age well, to enjoy a stage of our life with increased motivation, greater hopes and more activity. A demographic change that will transform and create new sectors to meet the needs of this new social reality.

Why invest in this trend?

  • We are faced with a certainty, not an assumption.
    The ageing of the population is based on two factors. First, the decrease in the birth rate; and second, the increase in life expectancy. Since 1992, the constant combination of these two factors has confirmed the demographic transformation that we are already experiencing today.
  • We think about health, but it is much more.
    It is easy for the first thing that we think about to be the health sector or healthcare. However, and as long as purchasing power permits, we are talking about a population that continues to think about saving, retirement and also its enjoyment.
  • As the population ages, the greatest proportion of spending will be on people over the age of 60.
    And this means businesses will find an opportunity for growth by investing in the needs of the elderly, with the resulting impact on the financial world.

We hear talk of the public pension fund, of the increase in health spending, but what about the new economy that this transformative change offers us?
We are used to hearing about demographic change in terms of its unquestionable negative burden, but this change also offers the prospect of business opportunities that translate into a new economic panorama from which high returns are expected.
  • Companies with a direct impact on improving the livelihoods of the elderly.
    This trend will have a great impact on the world of health and care, but it will also have a marked influence on other consumer sectors that will feel the need to take this new social majority into account.
  • Older, better life quality.
    An inherent objective of human beings: wanting to live longer and better. Taking care of health through concern for a healthy diet, physical exercise, leisure and acquiring new knowledge is part of the culture of the new generations of older people who wish to lead fulfilling and active lives.
  • New technologies and new companies.
    As happened with the pandemic, this demographic transformation will entail new challenges to address the new personal needs and different consumption habits that will inevitably arise.

2050: one in five people will be over 60 years of age.

  • In the year 2050, the world's population over the age of 60 will double.
    This will result in greater social, consumer and health opportunities.
  • Europe: the old continent, the aged continent.
    Even though this is a global phenomenon, the European population over the age of 65 will reach 35% of its total, an upwards difference of 15% compared with the rest of the world.

Our investment proposal focusses on sectors, subcategories or companies that are expected to grow faster than global GDP in the coming years and have a small cyclical component. World GDP will hit 2.4%, while some sectors, such as consumer goods, healthcare and pensions, and savings will grow above this figure.

  • Four pillars and four social objectives.
    Four major objectives: health, aging well, living better and offering social solutions that make this possible. Investment opportunities analysed from a range of perspectives.
  • Companies which can fulfil the new demands of an ageing population.
    Companies which are benefitting from the increased life expectancy.

What do the experts think?

Population ageing is about to become one of the most significant social transformations of the 21st century. This transformation will be clear across almost all areas of society, such as the labour and financial market, housing, transportation and social welfare, changing family structures and the bonds between generations as we know them today.
