Health & Longevity
Asia is the epicentre of the longevity economy. For medical, digital-health and care companies, demand here is structural β driven by demographics, not trends.
The opportunity

- Japan (29% aged 65+), China (310M aged 60+) and Singapore anchor a super-ageing region.
- Digital-health adoption is compounding at roughly 24% a year across APAC.
- Governments are progressively opening healthcare to foreign investment and innovation.
