Population slowdown reshapes demand
Wednesday 20th May, 2026
Global population growth is slowing and businesses can’t rely on rising headcounts to drive consumption, so companies must focus on building loyalty, unlocking spending in older cohorts (the ‘Dormant Economy’) and staying relevant across life stages; India remains an outlier with a young median age. This gives Wise a chance to talk about how cross-border money movement and multi-currency accounts help households and small businesses manage tighter finances, support remittances and unlock underused spending across ages — especially relevant in the UK and Europe where migrant remittances and international savings matter.
