Abstract: Abstract In Japan, in the last few years, an increasing number of enterprises have been focusing on developing new products and services for older adults or for the Baby Boomer generation. In most cases, these efforts failed. One of the reasons for this is that their visions are too narrow. Many enterprises consider the older adult market or the Boomer market as a single homogeneous iceberg. However, in a modern economy, it is not sufficient to say that the Boomers represent a large part of the market just by sheer numbers. The reason is that the nature of today’s market is different from that of the past. This chapter gives readers the essence to correctly view the Baby Boomer market or Senior Market and insights to success in serving such markets in other countries.
