This document discusses the shift from lower-income consumers to an emerging middle class in Latin America. It begins with an introduction about Latin America's growing consumer market worth $3.6 trillion due to economic stability, proximity to the US, natural resources, and a young population. The document then covers targeting the bottom of the pyramid with affordable products in countries like Nigeria. It moves on to discuss catering to the emerging middle class in Latin America with tailored offerings from companies like Ikea in China. In conclusion, it projects that by 2020 there will be 15.8 million more households earning $10,000-$45,000 and 2.8 million fewer households with less than $10,000 in Latin America.
