Introducing the Global Consumption Database 10
“…We have a new, up-to-date, and authoritative source of intelligence about the size of the current BoP market, how the majority of humanity prioritizes spending, and where companies might effectively focus their attention in exploring new business opportunities among the world's underserved… [the] new data base will soon become an indispensable tool for any entrepreneur or company serious about inclusive business.”
~ Stu Hart, S. C. Johnson Chair Emeritus in Sustainable Global Enterprise, Cornell University and co-author (with C.K. Prahalad) of "The Fortune at the Bottom of the
Pyramid."
Lowers upfront cost to explore business opportunities

Introducing the Global Consumption Database 12
* Figures in 2005 purchasing power parity terms
Points of Note:
• Food & beverage spending share decreases as total spending rises
• Transportation’s spending share increases the most of any sector as spending rises
• BOP spends more in aggregate than the higher consumption segments combined in food and beverages, energy
Majority of BOP spending goes to food & beverages
$77B
The “BOP” itself is a very diverse group
Introducing the Global Consumption Database 13
* In 2005 purchasing power parity terms
Spending: “BOP” encompasses 3 billion people spending less than $3/day* and 1.5 billion people who spend up to 3x that amount
Location: 1.7 billion in urban environments 2.8 billion in rural areas
Age: 44% under age 20; 61% under age 30
Illustrative data points:
Requires different types of products, distribution channels, pricing and payment options
Next Steps for the database
Introducing the Global Consumption Database 14
Add new survey data, as available
Possibly add staff projections for market size in 2020
Refine database site based on user feedback
