We know the global population is aging, but some of the implications in the marketplace are eye opening: Did you know that in 2011, Japan sold more incontinence briefs (adult diapers) than baby diapers? And in South Korea, with a birthrate 1/3 the level needed to maintain the population, people are buying more dog strollers than baby strollers. The impact on baby products might seem obvious (even if it’s startling). But what does this demographic shift mean for your business? We at Morning Light Strategy can help you think ahead to create solutions that futureproof your business. https://lnkd.in/dEABifh9 Nicole Munsey #thefutureisold #50plus #seniorliving #olderadults #agingpopulation #agetech #seniormarketing #innovation #consumerinsights #innovationresearch #marketingresearch #cpg #tech #retail #beauty #travel
