China Senior Living Market Analysis
The Chinese senior living market is expected to record a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant negative impact on the senior living market, with widespread outbreaks reported in the senior communities across the country, affecting residents, staff, and visitors. Long-term care facility residents became vulnerable due to their age and various underlying diseases. Smaller providers are severely impacted, as they may not be able to cover the additional costs imposed by COVID-19. Some providers are expected to close due to this, which may have a negative impact on some local communities.
China's population of 60 and above is 18%, which is higher than the 10% benchmark that defines an aging society. However, though China's population ages, its wealth is growing, resulting in the expansion of upscale senior communities across the country.
Senior communities provide a great opportunity for insurance companies as these communities require insurance capital. An insurance company has large, stable, and long-term capital, ideal for establishing and running such a community. By 2021, Taikang Insurance opened seven senior communities. It plans to open another 22 senior communities soon. Many major insurance companies also entered the retirement community market. So far, 10 insurance companies have invested in 47 senior communities across the country, providing 84,000 beds.
Apart from insurance companies, large property groups are also interested in developing senior communities. Yuecheng Group, which previously invested in trade and property, shifted its focus toward this industry with its senior community project, Golden Home.
