Opportunities in Emerging Markets

Emerging markets in developing countries can offer diverse, cost-effective alternatives to developed locations for those seeking to enter the market or expand their business. Businesses can benefit from the availability of value priced developmental land, a lower cost labor force, outsourcing options, international trade, and the ability to introduce a new product or service to a previously underserved marketplace. In many instances, governments will offer such incentives as tax breaks for foreign business entrants, whose presence will help mobilize the workforce and stimulate the economy.

Emerging market investments can also pose a challenge to potential businesses in a number of ways, most notably, continued governmental instability and lack of reliable information. In our section on Emerging Markets for the international property investor, we wrote: "It is the savvy investor with the stomach for risk tolerance that can enter into such a situation... where favorable results are anything but guaranteed. It is important to obtain reliable information and advice before buying into an emerging market." And the same rules apply here.

Companies that hope to improve or maintain their global market position must have a strong presence in developing economies. However, the route taken to achieve results in mature markets does not necessarily guarantee success in emerging market economies. When creating an expansion strategy, companies must consider many important differences between mature and emerging markets, and it all begins with identifying and understanding the customer.

In the future, emerging markets will include the largest addressable customer base in the world. While growth rates in developed markets slow due to market saturation, emerging market economies led by Brazil, Russia, India, and China (or what is now commonly known as "BRIC") are growing quickly. The combined GDP of emerging market nations is expected to surpass that of the top 20 developed economies by 2015.
