Answer
An ageing population increases demand for senior‑friendly personal care items such as anti‑wrinkle creams, leading companies like Himalaya to launch specialised product ranges.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Identify the demographic trend: increasing proportion of elderly people.
  2. Link the trend to changes in consumer needs – more focus on health, comfort, and skin care for older users.
  3. State the effect on demand: higher demand for products that address ageing concerns.
  4. Provide a concrete example of a company that has responded to this demand.
Common mistake: Mentioning only population growth without connecting it to product‑specific demand.
