Aging-in-place market

The aging-in-place market is trending due to the aging baby boomer population, advances in medicine and technology, and the desire for seniors to remain independent and in their homes as they age. Between 2007 and 2021, the number of senior households grew by 51.2%, while the number of non-senior households rose by a tepid 4.4%. As more baby boomers reach retirement age, seniors now account for a larger share of American households, making up more than a quarter (26.9%) of all households through 2021. This has led to a growing demand for products and services that support aging in place, including home modifications, health care services, and assistive technology.
