Global Market Customer Landscape
Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
The aging baby boomer population is the key factor driving the growth of the global market. The aging of the baby boomer population is a major driver of the global retirement community market. Baby boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964 who make up a significant portion of the world's population. As this group ages, they are looking for retirement options that provide a comfortable and secure lifestyle. Senior communities offer a variety of housing options and services for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. These communities often offer amenities such as fitness centers, social activities, and health services, making them attractive options for seniors seeking a comfortable and engaging lifestyle in retirement.
Also, the obesity rate among senior citizens is on the rise, which leads to a rise in the number of people who are at risk of disability and chronic diseases. In such cases, it becomes challenging for family members to take care of senior citizens. In this type of situation, the communities are the most suitable options for a comfortable and healthy residence as they offer assisted living options along with certified nursing care. Post-retirement, these people need medical care, which is one of the prominent features of the communities. Thus, there will be an increase in the demand for retirement home services in the forecasted period.
Multi-generational living is the primary trend shaping the global market growth. In addition to the social benefits, multi-generational living can also provide economic benefits. By sharing living expenses and resources, families can save money on housing, utilities, and other expenses. This can be especially important for retirees on fixed incomes who may be facing rising healthcare costs and other financial challenges. The communities that offer multi-generational living typically provide a range of housing options, from apartments and townhouses to single-family homes.
These communities may also offer amenities and services that appeal to both older and younger residents, such as parks, recreational facilities, and social activities. Overall, multi-generational living is a trend that is likely to continue as more retirees seek to maintain social connections and support networks while also managing their healthcare and financial needs in the forecast period.
Low savings of baby boomers is a major challenge impeding the growth of the global market. One of the biggest challenges facing the global retirement community market segment is the low savings of baby boomers. However, many baby boomers do not have enough savings for retirement. There are several reasons why baby boomers are saving less. One reason is that many baby boomers don't make retirement savings a priority. They may have focused on other financial priorities, such as paying off debt or supporting their children`s education.
Additionally, some baby boomers may have experienced a job loss or other financial setbacks that have made it difficult for them to save. The low savings of baby boomers can have a significant impact on the global market as many require significant upfront fees or ongoing monthly payments, which can be challenging for individuals with limited savings. Additionally, some communities may not be able to provide the level of care and amenities that baby boomers are looking for due to budget constraints, which will restrict the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

The assisted living facilities segment was valued at USD 963.52 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Assisted living facilities are a segment of the global market that cater to seniors who require some assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) but do not require round-the-clock medical care. These facilities provide a range of services such as meal preparation, housekeeping, medication management, and personal care assistance to help residents maintain their independence and quality of life. Assisted living facilities are typically designed to provide a home-like environment with private or semi-private living spaces and communal areas for socializing and activities. Many facilities also offer amenities such as fitness centers, libraries, beauty salons, and transportation services to help residents stay active and engaged.
Based on application, the market has been segmented into elderly people and disabled people. The elderly people segment will account for the largest share of this segment. The senior segment of the global senior community market is primarily focused on providing housing and care services to seniors. Retiree communities offer a variety of facilities and services, including independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and memory care. These communities provide a safe environment for older adults who need assistance with daily activities, medical care, or social interactions. For instance, in December 2021, a report was published that stated that around 5% of Australians, 6% of Americans, and 1% of UK citizens over 65 years of age live in a retirement village, which clearly states that majorly of the elderly population is directly dependent on the communities, which in fact will help to drive the growth of the market in focus in the forecast period.
North America is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.

Though the market potential is high in North America, the growth rate of the market in the region will be hindered by affordability issues as many retirees do not have enough retirement funds. For instance, most of the revenue for the nursing care service segment comes from public sources, such as the government in the US, as the monthly expenses for nursing care are high, which will solve the problem of affordability issues as many retirees do not have enough retirement fund, which in turn will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The Market is experiencing growth driven by factors such as aging population demographics and increasing demand for skilled nursing care in both medium-end and high-end projects. Key players like AntaraSeniorCare and Columbia Pacific Communities lead the market, supported by comprehensive senior living research and analysis, particularly in India where the market size is significant, especially in tier II cities and non-metro areas.
