An accelerator effect beyond a certain level of development…

< 3000$ : low incomes, subsistence consumption (strong share of food and clothing)

Massive middle-class population expansion in highly-populated countries

Expansion of a middle-class population :
 population size will considerably impact emerging countries

In 10 years time, 800 million people will cross the 3000$ threshold, i.e. a greater
population compared to the US, Europe and Japan put together
