Health and Wellness
As the world undergoes an unprecedented shift towards an aging population, there are unique opportunities for businesses and investors. According to the UN's Population Division, the number of elderly individuals has more than tripled since 1950 and is projected to almost triple again by 2050, primarily due to declining fertility and mortality rates, particularly in developed countries. In 1950, approximately one in ten people globally were over 60 years old; by 2050, this figure is expected to exceed one in five.
The aging population offers opportunities for investment in sectors that contribute to health and wellness, such as agriculture and sustainability. By focusing on better crops, proper fertilization, and sustainable farming practices, businesses can address the needs of an aging population while contributing to the long-term well-being of society.
Infrastructure
The global middle class is expected to more than double by 2030, with 93% residing in developing economies, creating a surge in consumption and investment opportunities.
This shift underscores the significant demand for infrastructure and housing, especially in rapidly developing economies. As the middle class grows, there is a need for sustainable and resilient infrastructure to support urbanization and improve living standards. The rising demand for resources like energy, water, and food highlights the importance of investing in renewable energy solutions and sustainable housing initiatives.
Agriculture
With the increasing necessity for enhanced food production to accommodate expanding populations, the integration of technology into agriculture and resource management will be crucial for meeting demand while safeguarding essential resources. By investing in innovations in soil health technology, new fertilization methods, and advanced irrigation systems, investors can access the growing market for sustainable agricultural solutions and infrastructure, supporting both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
About Us
Pacific Global Holdings plc (AIM: LME) is an investment company listed on AIM, pursuing a dynamic strategy to build a portfolio of companies whose growth and success are closely linked to the evolving global demographic landscape. We believe there are four key areas to consider:
Growing Global Population: The exponential increase in the global population is driving demand for finite resources such as energy, water, food, and housing. Companies engaged in the sourcing, transformation, and distribution of these essential resources are well-positioned for success.
Expansion of the Global Middle Class: The rapid growth of the global middle class, particularly in emerging economies, is expected to lead to increased consumption. We are carefully evaluating companies that provide the products and services necessary to meet this rising demand.
Evolving Consumption Habits: Changes in consumer behavior and lifestyle, both positive and negative, are influenced by technological innovations, new working practices, and increased leisure time.
Aging Population: The number of older individuals is increasing worldwide, especially in developed countries. This demographic trend creates a favorable long-term demand for companies that offer products and services tailored to the needs and preferences of older adults.
Pacific Global Holdings is headquartered in London.
Our investment strategy allows for both passive and active investment approaches. The Company’s rationale for investment ranges from acquiring minority positions with strategic influence to taking larger controlling interests. Typically, one or more members of the Pacific Global Holdings board will take a seat on the boards of the investee companies, ensuring active engagement in their growth and development.
Resources
The global population expansion, which reached seven billion in 2011 and is projected to exceed nine billion by 2050, is intensifying the demand for resources. This surge, primarily driven by developing countries, significantly impacts the global economy. The growing demand highlights the urgent need for sustainable resource management, as the increasing population raises the need for energy, water, food, and housing. To address these challenges, the focus must shift towards renewable resources and sustainable solutions such as wind and solar power, advanced irrigation systems, and sustainable agricultural practices. Embracing these renewable and efficient resource solutions will help meet the demands of a growing population while preserving the ecosystem for future generations.
