Research on Product Demand Mining and Development of the Silver Economy Market Based on AI Analysis

Abstract

The accelerated aging of the population has promoted the silver economy to become a new engine of economic growth, while a persistent structural mismatch between supply and demand remains a core bottleneck for the high-quality development of related industries. Relying on the advantages of artificial intelligence (AI) in big data processing, user profiling, and demand forecasting, this paper systematically constructs a whole-process framework of “data acquisition–AI modeling–demand analysis–product development–iterative optimization” for the silver economy market. Within this framework, heterogeneous data from elderly users are integrated and modeled to identify latent, diversified, and personalized needs that are often overlooked by traditional survey-based approaches. The study further combines segmented application scenarios in health management, aging-friendly smart products, and spiritual and cultural consumption to explore concrete paths for AI-enabled demand mining and product innovation. Empirical and conceptual analyses indicate that AI technology can effectively break the limitations of conventional demand identification, enhance the precision of market segmentation, and support rapid product iteration based on real-time feedback. The findings suggest that AI facilitates a transformation of the silver economy from a predominantly “supply-oriented” to a genuinely “demand-oriented” development paradigm, thereby providing robust technical support and methodological guidance for the sustainable and high-quality development of silver economy industries.
