Demographic trends in South Carolina also support an encouraging outlook for growth in franchising. The state's growing population can provide a healthy customer base for franchises. Additionally, South Carolina's population is diverse, with a growing number of retirees relocating to the state. As the baby boomer population continues to age, one would expect an increase in demand for certain types of franchises such as healthcare, home repair, and senior living. Furthermore, South Carolina’s tourism industry is among the southeast's strongest, with over 20 million visitors in 2019, creating seasonal revenue streams for franchises in the hospitality and entertainment industry.

Another factor that can be seen as a positive trend is that most cities within South Carolina have a relatively low cost of living compared to other major cities in the U.S. As such, this can make it an attractive option for entrepreneurs looking to start a business. The state also has myriad economic development programs and incentives designed to help entrepreneurs launch a new business.
