Emerging-market growth breakout

A Economic and tradeEconomic security and supply chainsDemographics and human capital

A dozen large developing economies sustain growth of 6 to 8 per cent for five years at once. Investment, manufacturing and services demand shift towards India, South-East Asia, Mexico and parts of Africa as supply chains diversify and young workforces come of age. Hundreds of millions join the middle class and world demand tilts south. The nations that break out are those with power, ports, schools and a state that can deliver. Advanced-economy incumbents lose market share, commodity prices rise for importers, and developing nations that are bypassed fall further behind.
