Business Catering for the Needs of the Elderly.
Survey on elderly spending pattern found that more than a third of elderly are relatively wealthy; they spend substantial amount on entertainment and leisure. As the population ages, the potential of the elderly market increases rapidly. Many Japanese businesses see this as a golden opportunity, catering their services to the elderly. Would Hong Kong businesses follow suit?
有長者機構做了一項「銀髮族」的消費模式調查，發現長者之中超過三分之一屬於相對富裕，他們在娛樂、消閒產品的消費毫不吝嗇。「銀髮市場」的潛力隨著人口上升而不斷增長。這個市場充滿機會，部份行業卻缺乏相關配套服務；也有一批商人早著先機，拓展市場。日本商人視人口老化為商機，專門為活躍的銀髮族服務，香港商人會不會效法呢？
