The world is aging at an unprecedented pace, and the European populations are definitely much faster than most other countries. The number of multi-generational households is declining across Europe, limiting many families' ability to assist elderly relatives.

The scale of population aging in many countries indicates that 1 in 6 adults will be over 80 by 2050. This compares to around 1 in 15 at present levels. Over the ’80s are more likely to suffer from chronic and degenerative health conditions, such as dementia, that require specialist nursing care and propel the need for full-time residential care.

This triggers opportunities for private initiatives to supply sufficient qualitative and suited housing for the growing elderly population. Investor interest in the healthcare sector is partly a reflection of structural change in global property markets, with investors increasingly seeking alternative sectors. 

A largely fragmented and state-controlled care sector has historically limited the investment opportunity, but this is now beginning to change with major private sector operators increasing
their market share.
