📌 Background

China's smart elderly care market focuses primarily on home-based and community-based care, with core models including platform service matching that covers home monitoring, smart calls, and caregiver matching. In 2026, governments across multiple regions are promoting the construction of smart elderly care platforms, connecting governments, institutions, communities, and families via a digital infrastructure to solve safety and care challenges for empty-nest and elderly individuals. Companies such as Neusoft Ruixin have successfully validated their business models in places like Shenyang and Chongqing, creating scalable, city-level solutions.

👤 Target Customers

Local governments, community elderly care service centers, elderly individuals living at home and their families, third-party elderly care service providers

💰 Revenue Streams

1) Platform transaction commissions (GMV revenue share), SaaS subscriptions and service fees, smart device sales, government fiscal subsidies, and project procurement; 2) Operational training: centralized coaching for caregivers and station managers prior to opening, with course packages settled per station; 3) Private cloud for elderly care institutions: on-premise deployment with care data, charging implementation and integration fees per facility.

🧮 Cost Structure

Platform R&D and operations, smart hardware procurement, labor costs for community grid workers and care staff, marketing, and government relations maintenance.

🛡️ Moat

Government partnership barriers and data accumulation, two-sided network effects generated by platform matching, and supply chain integration capabilities for aging-friendly products.

Platform matching efficiency and service quality control
Depth of supply chain integration for aging-friendly products

⚠️ Risks

Dependency on government subsidies, raising doubts about profit sustainability
Low activity levels among elderly users with insufficient platform usage frequency
Challenges with local service variances during cross-city replication
