China's population is declining and aging rapidly, with seniors playing an increasingly significant economic role. In 2019, there were 254 million people aged 60 or above, and this number is projected to reach 402 million (28% of the population) by 2040, and over 487 million (35%) by 2050. As older adults become the fastest-growing consumer group, their rising focus on lifestyle and innovation—supported by government initiatives—presents a unique opportunity for Australian businesses.
Join us for the hybrid “Silver Economy” Executive China Update, hosted by ACBC Victoria at the International Chamber House and online. This exclusive roundtable event will delve into how China’s burgeoning aged population is creating new opportunities across sectors such as mobility, pharmaceuticals, medtech, R&D, traditional Chinese medicine, health services, food, and facility design.
Ines Liu, Head of the Australian Desk and Senior Manager of International Business Advisory at Dezan Shira & Associates will join the roundtable alongside Hon Andrew Robb AO, Australia's former Minister for Trade & Investment. This is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of China's fastest-growing consumer group and explore how your business can tap into the Silver Economy.
