Inclusive Innovation
For much of modern history, innovation – especially of the truly radical kind – was largely seen as the domain of the so-called Triad nations: US, Western Europe, and Japan. This changed – in a big way – in the last few years. In industry after industry, from mobile banking to alternate energy to electric vehicles, firms in emerging markets are now at the leading edge of innovation. Moreover, many of these emerging market firms are well poised for future innovation.

Increase in spending by consumers and businesses is the only source of growth and it does not look very promising in the near to medium term.
