Mintel Little Conversation
Senior scenarios: What ageing might look like in 2030

Seniors want to be active, independent and live in their homes for as long as possible. However, household chores present a major challenge, especially to those living alone and without help. As the demographic imbalance of fewer younger people and the lack of elder care professionals creates a void, the emergence of home automation and household robots present an opportunity for brands. Here, Mintel experts discuss three fascinating scenarios about ageing in 2030 and how a tool like scenario planning can help marketers envision the future.

Whether commuting on the train, running in the park or sitting at your desk, Mintel’s podcast series ‘Little Conversation’ brings you fresh ideas, bold innovation and data-driven intelligence.
