Chart of the Day: Elderly to account for a fourth of Singapore's population by 2030

This will boost domestic patient volumes.

This chart from Maybank Kim Eng with data from the Singapore Population White Paper showed that those aged 65 and above in the country will soon make up 25% of the total population by 2030 from 15% in 2015.

Maybank KE foresees aging populations and rising incidences of chronic diseases and overstretched public healthcare that could support the domestic patient volumes in Singapore and Malaysia.

The report also noted that the ageing population in Malaysia and China will rise to comprise 25% and 11% of the respective countries’ population by 2030.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
