Insight - Older consumers can often experience a sense of alienation, especially in today's environment which is increasingly fast-paced and demanding. However, many still have a desire to step outside of their comfort zone and embark on new experiences. This does not only allow older consumers to be active and—in some cases—healthier, but it also contributes to feelings of independence as individuals navigate different situations.
