SIC Introduction
The 5th China International Silver Industry Exhibition gathers the most influential brands at home and abroad and lays its emphasis on showcasing and promoting the latest products, equipment and technology in the silver industry. It will provide you with a solid platform to communicate and cooperate with professionals in the silver industry.
The Most Authoritative Development Platform for Silver Industry in China
Promising Silver Industry in China
In 1999, China stepped into an aging society.
As of the end of 2012, China’s elderly po pulation reached 194 million, a year-on-year increase of 8.91 million, accounting for 14.3% of the total population.
In 2013, the elderly population will top the 200-million mark to reach 202 million, and the aging rate will arrive at 14.8%.
An increasingly aging population in China brings with it a market with enormous untapped potential, and a great array of opportunities for the silver industry.
A Booming Industry Brings Huge Business Opportunities
According to the “China’s Aging Population Trend Forecast”, the country’s aging consumers will spend a total of RMB 1.4 trillion in 2012, which will grow to 4.3 trillionby 2020.
In 2015, the potential scale of the market for elderly nursing services and daily care in China will exceed RMB 450 billion, and more than 5 million jobs will be created.
At present, community service for the elderly and beds in elderly care institutions are in seriously short supply. The inadequate, obsolete and underperforming facilities make it very difficult to deliver daily care, nursing and medical rehabilitation service and to attend to the emotional needs of the elderly.
A tough challenge as it is, this also presents valuable opportunities for manufacturers, investors, developers and operators to establish and expand their presence in the silver industry.
Recruiting and retaining talent is critical to success–and more challenging than ever. Discover the innovations that are successfully nurturing new worker pipelines and growing the next generation of leaders.
Residents are best served when senior living professionals share ideas and solutions to cultivate operational efficiencies and business growth, and drive innovation in the way we serve older adults.
Uncover solutions to the occupancy challenge by diving deep into the data to identify sales metrics that matter, and new ideas that promote a salient sales culture.
The Organising Committee is pleased to announce that the combined RANZCP Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age and the Asian Society Against Dementia Conference 2018 will be held at Crown Promenade, Melbourne, Australia from Wednesday 7 to Saturday 10 November 2018. The theme of the conference is ‘Ageing in the Asian century: new answers to old questions’. This conference will bring together renowned speakers from all over the world, which will give delegates the opportunity to share information and knowledge with experts in the area of dementia and aged mental health.

Older people who are poor, homeless, speak a language other than English, are LGBTI or from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds are less likely to be able to advance in older age than those who have more advantages.
