"The aging population discussion in recent years has mostly revolved around future challenges to labor productivity and its economic growth implications," he said. AI, robotics and wearables The aging population stands to gain significantly from breakthroughs in robotics powered by artificial intelligence, according to Afzal. Arelis Agosto, research analyst at Global X ETFs, said wearables technology is one interesting area to invest in for the aging theme. "We view self-sustaining monitoring and therapeutic systems as the future of patient care, though it is particularly beneficial for elderly patients," Agosto said. Global X ETFs, a fund management company, offers a way to tap the aging theme through its Aging Population ETF.

Arexvy, launched in the United States recently, recorded third quarter sales of 709 million pounds ($862 million), trouncing analysts' expectations of 358 million pounds, according to a company-compiled consensus. GSK accounts for close to two-thirds of RSV shots given in the United States since early September, according to IQVIA data. Full-year sales are seen between 900 million pounds and 1 billion pounds for the shot, GSK said. The company faces about 79,000 cases related to Zantac in the United States, with 73,000 of them in Delaware and scheduled for trial starting January 2024. For the third quarter, Shingrix, the company's top-selling drug for shingles, generated 825 million pounds in sales.

GSK reckons the spin-off has allowed the company to sharpen its focus on vaccines and infectious diseases and with $7 billion generated by the Haleon spin-off, it can fund deals to bolster a lacklustre drug pipeline. The company also reported an adjusted profit of 38.8 pence per share for the quarter, on sales of about 7.18 billion pounds ($9.26 billion). Analysts were expecting a profit of 34.7 pence per share on sales of about 6.77 billion pounds, according to company-compiled consensus estimates. Sales of Shingrix, the company's top-selling drug, generated 880 million pounds, beating analyst estimates of 872 million pounds. Sales of HIV treatments generated 1.58 billion in the quarter, ahead of the company-compiled consensus of about 1.5 billion pounds in the quarter.

Shares of U.S. biotech firm Exact Sciences have surged by almost 90% this year. But the run may not be over just yet, according to fund manager Dani Saurymper.
