Are Emerging Markets Catching Up with the Developed Markets in Terms of Consumption?By A.N.M Waheeduzzaman PRESENTED BY: Ayca Ozyesilpinar Anh Ta
Introduction • Consumption Revolution in Emerging Nations; have grown very fast in the last 3o years- increase in consumption • Consumption in Developed Nations has Slowed; market saturation • Goal of the study: Testing CONVERGENCE HYPOTHESIS: • Two groups: Developed Markets and Emerging Nations • (8 consumption variables used and socioecomic influence tested)
Rise of Emerging Markets • Have begun in colonial period but mostof growth is recent (1980-2009) • Contributors • globalization supported by stabilization 1970's • Political Reforms in 1980's • Opening Up/ Liberalization of Markets 1980's • End of Cold War/Fall of Berlin Wall 1989 • Technology/Computer Revolution 1990's
Characteristics of Emerging Markets Positive Negative • Rapid Economic Growth • Fast Paced Modernization • Urbanization • Large Middle Class • Increased Consumer Expenditure • Growth of Urban Slums • Pollution • Environmental Degradation • Increasing Inequality • Confrontational Politics
Who are the “Emerging Markets”? • List is not 100% agreed upon • 12 Big emerging markets (BEM) as a sample • Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Korea, South Africa, Turkey (most advanced 52% world pop. & 34% worldGDP) • BRIC (subset of 12 BEM) • Brazil, Russia, India and China (growth and impact to world economy)
Who are the “Developed Markets”? • G7 Nations (economic powerhouse after WWII) • Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States – 40% world GDP and 11 % world population) • Most recently Russia • In this study, Russia is included in Emerging Nations
Understanding Convergence • 3 approaches of economists • β– convergence (Growth rate of a conuntry negatively correlated with level of income, income convergence, lower level growth countries grow faster) • σ- convergence (dispersion) as countries converge over time, dispersion decreases • Conditional convergence (external variables) : population, education, innovation, however these variables are mixed and inconclusive
Convergence in International Marketing • Different meaning compared to economicsts’ notion • International Marketing closest theoratical association in two researches • Standard Adaptation (S-A) – • Focuses on 4 P’s of marketing • “More standardized” = “More Convergence” • Diffusion Research • Innovators (leader) • Imitators (follower)
Convergence • Overall, for the purposes of this article convergence is going to taken into consideration from
Study Focus and Objective • Discuss Growth of Emerging Nations • Defines Consumption Convergence support by the models • Use 30 years as a time frame to determine the extent • Determine influence of socioeconomic variables on emerging nations • Suggest implications and future direction
Methodology • Data – Global Market Information Database (GMID) and Euromonitor International • Convergence hypothesis based on 8 consumption variables • First categories: Consumer expenditure - FOOD, HGS • Second categories: Actual Consumption - CAL, PROT - DSW, MCW, REF, WSM. • Exogenous influence variables: PCI, PCEC, LIFE, PCTRD • Time period: 1980-2009, after 1990s
Models - investigating consumption convergence among developed (G7) and emerging (BEM) market
Time Growth Model (TGM) • Growth in consumption for a particular item over time • Yi = D(t)= α + β1t+ β2m • Yi= consumption in market i, t= discrete time interval t, m= group dummy, 1 = G7, 2 = BEM
Findings from Time Growth Model • Consumption has increased significantly over time • Difference between G7 and BEM consumption is significant
Trend Difference Model (TDM) • ∆ Yi = F(YD-Yi)= α + β1t • YD: mean score of consumption in G7, Yi:in merging market i, t: discrete time interval t • Determine the difference in consumption is convergence or divergence
Findings from Trend Difference Model (TDM) • The consumption convergence between G7 and BEM is real, but very slow. • ∆FOOD: BEM – catch up by $25.03 every year • ∆HGS: $6.5 per year • Convergence on ∆CAL > ∆PROT
Findings from Trend Difference Model (TDM) • Varying Rate of convergence • Brazil and Russia have better convergence on FOOD and CAL consumption • Durable consumption such as Refrigerator and washing machine, China is in the lead.
Socioeconomic Influence Model (SIM) • ∆ Yi = F(YD – Yi) = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X4 • YD: mean score of consumption in G7, Yi : consumption in emerging market i, X1: PCI in market I, X2: PCEC, X3: LIFE, X4: PCTRD • Explain why the convergence is taking place
Table 2. Socioeconomic Influence: Individual Variable Models
Findings from 3 models • Consumption convergence between G7 and BEM is taking place , but at very slow rate • In particular, $25 in FOOD, $6.5 in HGS, 9 calories, 0.5 gram protein, and only 1% for durable consumption category • Braziland Russia are leading on consumer expenditure and basic consumption. China leads on durable consumption. • Income per capital is crucial influence in consumption convergence. Life expectancy is more influence than energy consumption
Implications and Future Research • This study ; Investigateconsumption convergence between developed and emerging nations with using two seperate aspects of consumption • Previous studies only examined economic development and marketing but NOT consumption convergence • Model used in this study; • TGMs • TDMs • SIMs can be usefull to marketing managers many different ways.
TGM Implications • Forecasting & indicating the difference among countries • Help understanding the lead-lag hypothesis • Determining the order of countries for enter strategy.
TDM Implications • Forecasting, market penetration/saturation purposes • By setting TGMs managers can estimate the level of saturation of markets. • Determine the penetration strategy based on the level of market saturation
SIMs Implications • Socioeconomic variables used for market segmenting and country profiling • The influences of variables used for predictive purposes • These variables are: income, energy consumption, trade and life expectancy
Future Research • Investigating other time frames, more variables and countries • Planning economic strategies for different countries • Useful for international organization as well to determine their policies
Conclusion • Explore the consumption convergence hypothesis in international markets and IT WAS ACHIEVED by using : • Consumer expenditure and actual consumption of 8 variables between developed and emerging markets • Consumption convergence is taking place but the rate is very slow
Conclusion – Interpreted with Cautions • The models are inherenly economic in nature and results are data-driven. • BUT The model carries both economic and social- cultural aspects • Social cultural experience beyond numbers • Affected by our culture • Attitude • Group membership • Economic freedom • Dynamics of the society we live
Conclusion – Interpreted with Cautions • Considering the impact of globalization • The mass media • Internet • Tourism • Multinationals
Conclusion – Interpreted with Cautions International Demonstration Effect and homogenization in global consumption culture
What we found? • Specific researches/articles about the narrow topics such as: • Cultural converngences in world wine consumption • Income, culture, household consumption patterns • Cross country convergence in energy and electricity consumption • Convergence of the new members of the EU (regional level and external impact during the period) • No current publised researches with using various variables
