Growing geriatric population in need of supportive environment and continuous care will fuel the growth of the market. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65 years. According to the Rural Health Information Hub, 78 million people will be 65 years or older by 2030 and this number is expected to rise to 90 million by 2050. Presently, the highest number of assisted living facilities are in the southeast part of the country and they accounted for about 23.0% of all assisted living facilities in the U.S. Furthermore, there is a high tendency of retirees moving to the Sun Belt region in the U.S. owing to a warm and sunny climate, availability of new and comfortable housing styles, and rising recreational opportunities. This is expected to propel the market in this particular region.

Competition in the market is very high and strict regulations and licensing are expected to pose barriers for new entrants. Major participants in the market include Sunrise Senior Living, LLC; Brookdale Senior Living Solutions; and Atria Senior Living, Inc. Furthermore, rise in the cost of utilities, food, real estate taxes, and insurance could negatively affect the market.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

• By gender, women held the maximum share in 2018 and the segment is predicted to exhibit the fastest growth over the forecast period. This can be attributed to greater life expectancy of women and higher rates of disability and chronic health problems

• On the basis of age, the more than 85 years segment dominated the U.S. market in 2018. This segment is expected to expand at the fastest pace through 2026
