“The biggest market now is Japan, whose market size exceeds more than 77 Trillion
Yen. As a new generation of seniors become an ageing population, the biggest
opportunities are more stylish products, there is an opportunity for reasonable cost
HOUSING PRODUCTS WITH PREVENTIVE CARE SERVICES.”

DR MARY-ANN TSAO
PRESIDENT
TSAO FOUNDATION
“Current cohorts of older people in Asia Pacific still tend to be more disadvantaged,
but looking into the future, it will be relatively positive for the baby boomers. Affluent
baby boomers would be interested in health and vitality, lifestyle and activities that
enhance learning, meaning and self-development. Market opportunities include:
home and housing; health promotive products and services; travel, especially
health retreats and “socially responsible” tourism; and private integrative care
management/concierge services that provide hassle free management and
coordination of health, social and leisure needs, either for themselves or their
elderly parents ”

GROUP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
ECON HEALTHCARE PTE LTD
“The ageing market, either in services or products for the aged, will have
tremendous growth potential. The sizable ageing population, coupled with speedy
economic growth in Asia Pacific will drive market opportunities in products and
services that cater to the physical, mental, social, psychological and material
needs of the aged.”

DR JANE LEE
DIRECTOR
HONG KONG SHENG KUNG HUI WELFARE COUNCIL
“It is a worldwide phenomenon that the post WWII babyboomers are entering into old
age. Asia Pacific countries have no exception. We are having many “young olds”
who are health conscious and expect to live longer. Primary health care services
which have a stronger medical and social interface will help “young olds” to
cope with early onset of chronic illness; it would be a business with a promising
future”

MR PATRICK TSANG
GENERAL MANAGER (PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT)
HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY
“In nearly all regions in Asia Pacific, the media age is increasing but the birth rate is
declining. The relationship between these two factors results in one of the most
significant social and economic upheavals affecting most countries. One of the major
changes in the development of the senior market is providing services and
products to meet the psychological and physiological needs of the ageing
population. Apart from Japan, most countries have under-estimated the ageing
market potential of the more affluent and well-educated segment. With improvement
in our knowledge of the needs of older people, we can accelerate development of
middle to high-end retirement housing with associated healthcare services
and facilities and high technology products that facilitate independence of
seniors in Asia Pacific”

MR TAN CHOE LAM
FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
JETA GARDENS GROUP, AUSTRALIA
“With the emergence of the baby boomers into the retirement age, opportunities are
open to all to provide appropriate retirement units, aged care beds, home care
places, E-health technologies and training of clinical and care personnel. I will see
that it will start from the higher end and gradually popularising down to the lower end
of the market”
