Key Highlights
Of the 11 countries assessed in this report, Indonesia represents the best chance of delivering rapid industrial and market development in automotive.
Urbanization has been a driver of both productivity and consumption growth. As people migrate to cities in quest of better employment, higher income levels and better quality of life, they create an expanded consumer class.
Apart from being large and young, population in emerging nations also tend to have higher education levels. The proportion of people attaining tertiary education in emerging nations is higher compared to developed nations.
Emerging nations register rapid growth and are well placed to attract investments. However, they are susceptible to domestic as well as external shocks. Brazil and Turkey are in the midst of political crisis, while Egypt, Turkey, Mexico, South Africa and Colombia are unable to constrain consumer price inflation rates. Moreover, low governance at national levels compared to their developed counterparts and protectionist international policy frameworks pose risks for sustainable growth.
