India’s senior living housing sector is poised for rapid growth, with a projected demand for 2.3 million units by 2030, according to a new industry report. As the country’s elderly population continues to rise, the need for dedicated housing solutions catering to senior citizens is becoming increasingly evident.
The report highlights that factors such as rising life expectancy, changing family dynamics, and the growing preference for independent living among older adults are driving the demand. Senior living communities, which offer specialized amenities like healthcare services, security, and social engagement opportunities, are expected to become a key feature of the housing market in India.
Currently, the senior living segment in India is still in its nascent stages, but with an aging population, real estate developers are ramping up efforts to create more age-friendly housing options. Urban areas are anticipated to lead the demand, especially in cities with higher concentrations of elderly residents.
Experts believe that the senior living market in India presents a huge growth opportunity for developers and investors, while also addressing an important social need for the aging population.
As the sector matures, it is expected to offer a range of options from independent living spaces to assisted living and nursing care facilities.
