There is an enormous market at the \u201cbottom of the pyramid\u201d (BOP)\u2014a group of some 4 billion people who subsist on less than $2 a day. By some estimates, these \u201caspirational poor,\u201d who make up three-fourths of the world\u2019s population, represent $14 trillion in purchasing power, more than Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Japan put together. Demographically, it is young and growing at 6 percent a year or more. Traditionally, the poor have not been considered an important market segment. \u201cThe poor can\u2019t afford most products\u201d; \u201cthey will not accept new technologies\u201d; and \u201cexcept for the most basic products, they have little or no use for most products sold to higher income market segments\u201d\u2014these are some of the assumptions that have, until recently, caused most multinational firms to pay little or no attention to those at the bottom of the pyramid. Typical market analysis is limited to urban areas, thereby ignoring rural villages where, in markets like India, the majority of the population lives. However, as major markets become more competitive and in some cases saturated\u2014with the resulting ever-thinning profit margins\u2014marketing to the bottom of the pyramid may have real potential and be worthy of exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
