The Greater Stockholm Region offers an easy access to a market of 60 million potential customers around the Baltic Rim, and apx. 250 million including the entire interconnected region. Only 24 million of those potential customers are in mature markets; the rest are in emerging markets.
Growth rates in key parts of the Baltic Rim are currently at around 6 to 11%; this is far in excess of those in the US and most OECD countries. At the same time the Rim´s emerging economies are stabilizing and inflation rates are coming under control and dropping, which means that the window of opportunity for entry is narrowing.
