Top Ten Hot Markets

The 2013 Hot Markets list for food and beverage manufacturers contains many of the usual high growth countries, including three of the four BRIC giants. Not China, because many brands are already there and frustrated by the difficulties in converting consumers to new eating habits associated with international brands.

The USA tops the list as a hot market. The USA grew by 35 million people since 2000, an increase equivalent to the size of Canada.
