Grey pound

In the United Kingdom, the expression "grey pound" is used in the context of marketing and or retail sources and refers to the purchasing power of elderly people as consumers.[1][2] It is frequently used as a label for movies aimed at an older audience.[3][4][5][6] A similar term exists for LGBT consumers, known as pink money.

The grey pound was estimated to be worth £215 billion.
