Health & Senior Care Strategy Enables Core Businesses Via Differentiation
As China is rapidly entering a “longevity era”, access to high-quality health and senior care services is becoming Chinese residents’ urgent demand. China’s elderly population aged 60 and above has exceeded 300 million, and China’s average life expectancy is currently 79 years. The health industry continues to face key challenges such as uneven distribution of medical resources, complex treatment processes, and heavy financial burdens on patients. Alongside this trend, access to all-around, multi-tiered, and high-quality health and senior care services is becoming Chinese residents’ urgent and rigid real-world demand.
Ping An builds an upgraded managed care model with Chinese characteristics as a leading senior care ecosystem operator, enabling clients to achieve integrated financial and health well-being. Building on its solid foundation in integrated finance, Ping An acts for payers and integrates providers to deliver the most cost-effective health and senior care solutions centering on full-lifecycle customer needs. The multi-tiered medical security system raised clients’ payment capacity. In 2025, Ping An realized RMB159 billion in health insurance premium income, including nearly RMB73.4 billion in medical insurance premium income, up 2.7% year on year. Technology strength enhanced the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment and improved user experience.

Health and senior care services are enabling core financial businesses and are rapidly becoming a key driver of Ping An’s second growth curve.
