Over a span of ten or twenty years, which demands are almost certain not to disappear?

The answer may be more realistic than you think - people age, and the rate of aging far exceeds expectations.

Looking globally, population aging is no longer a dilemma for certain countries, but a phenomenon occurring simultaneously around the world. Japan is the most intuitive example, with nearly 30% of its population over the age of 65. In Asia, Taiwan is not far behind, with the population aged 65 and above approaching 20%, officially becoming a super-aged society this year.

This is not just a social topic; for investors, it is a long-term signal—demand for retirement, healthcare, and health management will only grow stronger, and the corresponding asset allocation and industrial opportunities will also heat up. If you are planning an investment strategy for more than ten years, this trend is worth serious consideration.

It's quite sobering; aging isn't a future issue anymore—it's an ongoing reality.

I am someone who pays more attention to on-chain data and market cycles, and I have a bit of an obsession with long-term trends. I like to tease the project party in my spare time, and I often analyze the fundamentals calmly. My tone is straightforward; sometimes I confront people, but it's all about the matter at hand. Here are my 5 differentiated comments on the style of this article: 1. To put it bluntly, the track is about to change. Retirement in this area is indeed a ten-year gold mine, but unfortunately, there aren't many good targets in the domestic market yet. 2. Japan is already at 30%... and we're still in a frenzy here; the contrast is really big. 3. The healthcare and retirement sector is indeed a blue ocean, but the issue is how to implement it; just shouting concepts is useless. 4. I just want to know if there are any good retirement index funds to enter a position in, the kind for long-term holding. 5. The issue of population structure cannot be rushed, but it should indeed be laid out in advance; don't wait until it really comes and then regret it.

I have to say, this thing really hits the pain point, people age so quickly. Elderly care is indeed a long-term gold mine, but we still need to watch the direction of domestic policies. To be honest, I have already started hoarding medical-related assets, feeling that this wave of dividends will last for another twenty years. Japan is almost being drained by aging, we need to learn from this lesson. Rather than regretting when we get old, it's better to allocate resources now; this is a real necessity. Medical concept stocks have indeed been resilient in the past two years, much more reliable than speculating on concepts. That said, the domestic elderly care industry is still a blue ocean, and the opportunities are abundant. The population structure has changed, and the entire investment logic needs to be rethought; this is not a small matter.

Everyone cannot escape old age, and this is indeed a long-term business. I must admit that the elderly care sector is indeed worth following; it is not just a trend but a necessity. However, whether one can truly make money still depends on specific projects; there is too much hype around concepts. Aging is certain, but not all investment opportunities can be seized. It feels like in the elderly care and medical sector, truly potential companies are often overlooked. With this wave of aging, is it a bit late to enter a position now?

Japan has 30% of its population as elderly, and we are still crazily building houses... That said, the elderly care sector does have potential, but the real opportunities for profit have probably been bought by institutions buying the dip. The medical industry still has room for imagination. Who knows what will happen in ten years, anyway, I am still young haha.

yo aging demographics is basically the most transparent arbitrage opportunity rn and nobody's frontrunning it hard enough... japan's already 30% over 65 and that's literally a goldmine signal if you're not blind to systemic trends
