Science and technology provides a broad market prospect for solving the problems of aging society, while analysis of the needs of older age groups has also drawn increasing attention to the market. Based on the plight of social welfare and access to livelihood technology in China's aging population, this paper analyzed the current situation confronted by elderly welfare science and carried out empirical study on old people's demand for elderly welfare science and technology in four areas of health, housing, communication, social participation, which contributes to identify market opportunities for the elderly. In accordance with the analysis and summaries, the paper elaborates how to develop market opportunities for the elderly from there aspects of welfare science and technology supply, policy development, the aged's participation in social activities. Finally this paper presents corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to promote the development of China's elderly welfare science and technology. This article presents us with an opportunity to capture the attention of decision makers and individuals to address the technology needs of an aging population today and of the boomers tomorrow, and thus deploy a theoretical and empirical understanding of science, technology and ageing that captures how later life co-evolves with the practices of technology use and design.
