At present, the trend of population aging in my country is becoming more and more severe, and the social problems caused by the aging of the population are becoming increasingly prominent, such as the lagging development of the elderly industry, the lack of elderly supplies, and the imperfect medical management facilities for the elderly. While facing great challenges, there are also great opportunities. The aging of the population has brought a huge market for products for the elderly, and this market still has a big blank area, which has unique advantages for the development of the elderly industry. Developing the market of products for the elderly, meeting the needs of daily necessities for the elderly, and helping the healthy development of the elderly industry are the main directions of product design for the elderly in the future.

Functionally, the main trend of product design for the elderly in the future is portability and intelligence. Thanks to the development of intelligent technology, the arrival of the era of big data provides more possibilities for the design of products for the elderly. For the design of products for the elderly, there were many good creative solutions that could not be implemented due to various reasons such as technology and production conditions at the time. The advent of the era of intelligent technology makes it possible to realize all of this. Based on the research on the needs of elderly users, creativity combined with technology has made a huge breakthrough in the function and use of elderly products. Perhaps in the near future, we will see more cloud intelligent products for the elderly. Similarly, the elderly also benefit from the increasingly abundant intelligent products for the elderly, making life more convenient and comfortable.

In terms of design, the design of products for the elderly in the future will definitely develop in an emotional direction. With the rapid development of social economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, people are more or less emotionally deficient. For the elderly, the problem of emotional deficiency is particularly serious. Social problems such as the elderly living alone and empty nesters are true portrayals. Therefore, the product design for the elderly should not only meet the daily physiological needs of the elderly functionally, but also meet the emotional needs of the elderly psychologically. This requires the design of products for the elderly to have temperature, affinity for image, exquisite surface treatment technology and comfortable texture. It is more likely to arouse the emotional resonance of the elderly and meet the emotional needs of the elderly.

Respect for the elderly has been an excellent traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. To do a good job in the design of products for the elderly is to pay attention to the life of the elderly in their later years, to seek convenience and welfare for the elderly, to ensure that the elderly live a comfortable life and can enjoy the happiness of their families.
