Top Mega Trends in India to 2020
London, 31st January, 2012

India will be at the core of global business and commercial activity with projections for the largest working-age and youngest population in 2020. India will also be home to 864 million middle class households by then, which will spur demand for white goods and compel companies to experiment with the low-cost segment. This is just one of the mega trends predicted in a web briefing session by Frost & Sullivan, hosted by Sarwant Singh, Partner, and Archana Amarnath, Program Manager, Frost & Sullivan. This briefing shed light on trends such as urbanization and high infrastructure investment, which will shape the future of a well-planned and connected India. Collectively, these trends identify the inherent potential market and business opportunities created in leading industries in every segment in the value chain.

According to Sarwant Singh, Partner, Frost & Sullivan “Each of these Mega Trends has cross-sectoral and synergetic opportunities providing great prospects for all industry stakeholders. A critical element of the Mega Trends program is the “Macro to Micro” exercise, which entails taking each Mega Trend, creating scenarios, analyzing impact to your business, and designing your future strategy for product and technology planning. In this way, the entire ecosystem of the Mega Trend can be understood, and the most important segment of your value chain can be identified, which will redefine your competitive position in the market.”
