The GIL - 100 Supply Side and Demand Side Attractiveness Indices Energy Intensive Industries (Abridged Version)

Which markets should one focus on in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 and the on-going European debt crisis? While developed countries have shown very slow growth rates, emerging markets have shown much greater resilience. To increase profitability, one could either find new markets to increase sales, or seek opportunities to invest. Emerging markets will help one do both.

The newly developed Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL)-100 Energy Intensive Industries (EII) Supply Side and Demand Side Attractiveness Indices combine key indicators on growth, innovation, and leadership, vetted by Frost & Sullivan industry analysts, to provide a systematic and customizable tool for executives to gain insight on target markets.

The innovative GIL-100 EII indices help companies:

• Take analytical decisions about optimal markets for sales into the Energy industry and Energy Intensive Industries by illuminating key characteristics of markets for these two different purposes.
• Move away from a narrow Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) focus to find a broader set of untapped dynamic countries that can provide firms with strong investment and sales opportunities.
• Understand the broader set of factors including innovation and political factors that combine with economic growth influencing successful sales pursuits.

GROWTH, INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP (GIL)-100 INDEX AND GLOBAL ECONOMIC TRENDS

The GIL-100 index ranks 100 countries based on their energy supply and energy demand attractiveness by giving specific weights to growth (G), innovation (I) and leadership (L) indicators. It considers the top 100 countries with a gross domestic product (GDP) of over $20 billion and incorporates industry-specific variables (see Figures 1 and 2) for different verticals.

The GIL-100 index will help companies identify promising countries for their products and also help companies evolve a sound country pipeline for their emerging market strategy.

Energy is at the core of economic growth. The need to maintain a high standard of living drives domestic consumption of energy, with the manufacturing sector being a key driver of the industrial consumption of energy.

The world's energy consumption has gone up by 27 percent from 2000. By 2040, it will be about 30 percent higher than in 2010, as economic output more than doubles and the global population touches nine billion. While energy deLebron Soldier XII 12
