MARKET POTENTIAL INDICATORS

Market Potential Indicators for Emerging Markets - 2007
December 11, 2006 Global marketing is becoming more and more important along the years with the increasing trend in internationalization. Having too many choices, marketers face the challenge of determining which international markets to enter and the appropriate marketing strategies for the countries they are planning to penetrate. The focus of this study is ranking the market potential of 27 countries identified as an "Emerging Market" by The Economist magazine. The Emerging Economies comprise more than half of the world's population, account for a large share of world output and have very high growth rates which means enormous market potential. They can be distinguished by the recent progress they have made in economic liberalization. Promising opportunities for trade is opening as their need for capital equipment, machinery, power transmission equipment, transportation equipment and high-technology products is substantial and is increasing rapidly. An indexing study is made by MSU-CIBER to help the companies to compare the Emerging Markets with each other on several dimensions. Eight dimensions are chosen to represent the market potential of a country over a scale of 1 to 100, and they are given weights to contribute to the overall market potential index. The following table contains the indices and rank of each country for each of these dimensions and the overall market potential index. An explanation of these dimensions, their weights in the overall index, and the variables that are used to construct those dimensions is presented next. What's New in 2007: Three new countries have been added to the 2007 edition: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan. The first two countries were recently added to the list of Emerging Markets by The Economist. Taiwan was previously excluded from the study due to lack of sufficient data. This year, due to the kind assistance of Taipei Economic & Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) we have been able to put together the necessary data to once again include Taiwan in our analysis. Notes: 1. The most recent version of the Market Potential Indicators can always be found on globalEDGE at http://globaledge.msu.edu/ibrd/marketpot.asp. 2. We also keep an archive of the Market Potential Indicators for the previous years. To find these archives, please visit the Publications section of our MSU-CIBER web site. 3.
