Megatrends
The most influential Megatrends set to shape the world through 2030, identified by Euromonitor International, help businesses better anticipate market developments and lead change for their industries.
Learn MoreAgeing is the most significant and unprecedented demographic challenge facing world leaders in the 21st Century. As a result, the G8 leaders met in London for the first Dementia Summit in December 2013. This marks a significant step in acknowledging one of the biggest side-effects and challenges of an ageing world. The ageing trend is more acute in developed economies such as the G8 but is a progression in emerging markets which governments also need to prepare for in order to avoid a potential demographic time-bomb. Euromonitor International forecasts that there are just over half a billion people aged 65+ worldwide in 2013. As longevity is on the rise, this will have an impact not just in terms of the demand for healthcare and pensions but it will also transform consumer markets, labour forces, government finances and policies in the medium to long term. However, preparing for ageing now also means that the new world population structure offers significant opportunities across sectors.
