While nearly every demographic group in the US relies on pharmaceuticals, companies like CVS Pharmacy target specifically the elderly.  The elderly (which the US Census defines as individuals 60 and older) account for a majority of CVS’s revenue from pharmaceutical sales.

Census Data on the Elderly

Take a look at some figures from the US Census:

  • The number of Americans age 60 and older grew by 21% since the year 2000
  • There are currently 57 million Americans age 60 and older
  • By the year 2050, there are projected to be 112 million Americans age 60 and older

If you were a pharmaceutical company like CVS, these figures would indicate your business has a bright future.
