India's Senior Living: Big Opportunity, Few Developers
Imagine many older people in India needing special homes.
Even though it's a growing need, many builders aren't building these homes yet.
Experts say the market will grow big.
Some companies are doing well with these projects, and they're planning to build more.
The problem is that selling these homes can be slow, and taking care of the residents requires special attention.
The government is looking at ways to help make these projects easier to build and faster to complete.
Senior living market is expected to grow significantly, with the elderly population in India projected to reach 19.5% by 2050.
Despite the potential, most real estate developers are avoiding the senior living segment due to slow sales and after-sales service issues.
Less than 70 senior living projects exist in India, with over 60% located in tier 2 & 3 cities.
Key players like Ashiana Housing are seeing success and plan to expand, with senior living contributing significantly to their sales.
Challenges include slow sales, robust after-sales service requirements, and the need for streamlined project approvals.
