The Senior Placement Industry
people in the US turn 65 every day
baby boomers joining the “senior” ranks by 2030
total number of seniors by 2030
percentage of seniors needing care due to chronic illness by 2050
US assisted living facility market size in 2020
- The growth rate of the 65-and-over populations will continue to be three times greater than that of the total population growth rate through 2030. Put another way, over 10,000 people in the US turn 65 every day, which translates to 40 million baby boomers joining the “senior” ranks by 2030, swelling this segment to 74 million. (Source: US Census Bureau)
- The proportion of seniors requiring additional care thanks to chronic illness will increase from about 14% (2016) to 21% by 2050. (Source: AARP)
- The US assisted living facility market size was $73.6 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% through the next decade. (Source: Grad View Research)
- Advancements in medical and communication technologies have enabled seniors to live longer and remain more closely connected to family wherever they are.
- Dual career families have limited ability to take in and care for senior family members.
- More and more children move away from home, making family caregiving less feasible and assisted living more necessary.
