Connectivity, engagement and community are some of the major themes that can be found in the top 2021 seniors trends. As brands aim to create bonds that create lifelong consumers, many are shifting their focus towards older demographics, as seen with gaming subscriptions targeted at the elderly, dairy-free beverages expressly made and marketed to consumers ages 50 and up, as well as pre-rolls made for Baby Boomers.
Everything from hearing aids and companionship products to sleep apnea machines are now being enhanced with the power of artificial intelligence, and seniors in some areas are now also benefitting from autonomous technology when it comes to getting their weekly groceries delivered.
A look ahead at more innovations for seniors can be found in Trend Hunter's 2022 Trend Report.
