Markets

A significant portion of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies are located in the Asia-Pacific region, which is considered the primary engine of global growth, accounting for over half of the world's economic expansion. The region is home to over 55% of the world's population and includes 22 of the world's 37 megacities.

The vast Americas region is made up of several high-performing markets – from the USA and Canada in the north, to up-and-coming hotspots like Mexico and Brazil in Latin America

Currently as much as 73 percent of Swedish exports go to Europe, and there are plenty of business opportunities across most industries. A few industry segments that look particularly promising are the automotive industry, ICT, health care, food, energy and environment, and the creative industries. Thanks to Sweden’s highly developed digital infrastructure, our skills and experience within fibre optics are currently in high demand.

The Middle East & Africa (MEA) region is characterised by thriving economic growth and a drive for reforms, but it also faces challenges such as humanitarian crises and political instability. The average growth is over three per cent, while some areas remain reliant on foreign aid. From a business perspective, the MEA is a dynamic region with great potential for Swedish companies thanks to rapid urbanisation and technological development.
