The continuing growth of the region’s young, urban population is expected to drive increased demand for an array of modern goods and services in coming years. High birth rates and the large number of family households will ensure sustained demand for child-related products, but increasing levels of disposable income will result in growth of single-person households. High income inequality will continue to drive variances in consumer spending patterns and choices in nearly all product categories.

Highest birth rates in the world spurs spending on baby products

With an average of 3.9 children born per female expected in 2030, baby products will remain a huge market. Products that offer convenience will be particularly popular as women are expected to continue to join the workforce in increasing numbers.

There will soon be more urban residents than rural for the first time

It is projected that in 2026 urban residents will outnumber rural residents for the first time, significantly changing the consumer fabric and expanding consumers’ choices in terms of food, household items and a wide range of other products.

Family units make up the majority of households

Despite the robust growth of single-person households, the majority of households in the region will still consist of couples with children, ensuring sustained demand for child-related products and services, including educational products and services.

Growing demand for sustainable, secure homes

The growing number of new urban residents will be faced with myriad challenges, including ensuring greater home security and affordable energy bills. It is expected that these concerns will drive increased demand for a wide range of modern, smart product solutions, including digital IoT home systems, energy-saving appliances and alternative home energy sources such as solar panels.

Younger consumers have strong entrepreneurial spirit

Unemployment remains stubbornly high among teenagers and young adults in the region. As a result, many young people are increasingly looking for alternative career opportunities, including starting their own businesses. Highly motivated and digitally connected, this large group of young entrepreneurs is expected to drive demand for a wide range of modern goods and services in coming years.
