As living standards continue to improve, elderly consumption has been upgrading in recent years. There are three major immediate needs that the elderly consumer groups require attention: healthcare, education, culture, and entertainment, and fashion consumption.
Healthcare consumption has become a necessity for the elderly, as the intensity and scale of demand far exceed that of other consumer groups.
The elderly have a high demand for health food, drugs, regular medical checkups, chronic disease monitoring and treatment, and health management, among others. The demand for healthcare-related services is continually growing.
Elderly people also have a significant demand for education, culture, and entertainment services. Recently retired elderly people have a higher education level and stronger purchasing power, and they are no longer the traditional conservative and economic consumers.
They pay more attention to the quality of the products and have a greater demand for social entertainment, sports and fitness, travel, among others. Fashion consumption expenditure also shows a faster growth trend.
There is a common misconception that being thin is good-looking and healthy. However, studies show that people who are slightly fat tend to live longer and are healthier. Slightly overweight elderly people tend to be more active and love life, leading more exciting and fulfilling lives.
Furthermore, they have a broader mindset and love themselves, appreciating their own beauty and living happier lives.
The majority of American seniors love outdoor activities, and traveling around the United States together in campers and large RVs has become the most fashionable way for American seniors to travel in recent years.
Meanwhile, many elderly people choose to retire in the suburbs or countryside and live an idyllic life. Some Turkish seniors retire to their hometown after hiring designers and architects to build a cozy house for them, which is a popular trend.
In addition to enjoying the tranquility and relaxation of the countryside, the elderly can grow their favorite vegetables and raise poultry. Tomatoes are grown in almost every home, as they are essential to most Turkish dishes.
This traditional diet brings many benefits to Turkish seniors, such as cardiovascular health and cancer prevention. Among green vegetables, cucumbers, spinach, and broccoli are also grown in almost every household.
Growing vegetables is a popular activity among many people worldwide. It is an excellent way to eat healthy and green food and relax while sowing, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and harvesting. It can be a soothing experience that benefits both the body and the mind.
Apart from getting enough sleep, French seniors spend several hours a day savoring food and sipping coffee, and they spend more than twice as long as their counterparts in the United States and Canada.
The French elderly believe that spending money comfortably in their favorite restaurants and cafes is the most affordable way to enjoy life. They disdain American "junk food" and prefer quality food instead.
