As Latin America's third-largest and second-most populous country, China has an extensive transport network to meet the requirements of its growing economy. The transport industry registered growth during the first two years of the review period, but declined in 2008 and 2009 due to the global economic recession and the H1N1 flu epidemic. However, in 2010, the industry registered positive growth in all modes of transport. Growth in the air transport market was mainly driven by the success of low-cost carriers, while the key driver of growth for road transport during the review period was increased government investment on the country's road infrastructure. Although car rentals accounted for a small share of the total transport industry, the market is recording growth and demand for car rentals is increasing due to the rise in demand from leisure and business tourists.

The market for private label products in India is still in its nascent stages and accounted for just XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. The Indian retail market is highly fragmented and primarily consists of unorganized outlets such as 'kirana' stores. It is expected that organized retail is going to undergo a period of growth over the forecast period. Retailers entered the Indian private labels market by providing staples such as food and beverage products. The positive growth potential of these categories convinced many retailers to enter the personal care market in 2009. The main growth strategy of Indian retailers is to provide consumers with national brands as a trust exercise; as such brands provide a level of quality and assurance to consumers, who are then offered private labels as a discounted alternative. The Future Group recruited national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to create a sub-brand named 'Sach'. In this way, the Group expects to attain national recognition with some consumers and an emotional connection with others. This is the first instance of private label product endorsement in the Indian market. Growth in private labels has resulted in several conflicts between retailers and national brands, owing to issues such as margins, displays and shelf space. Retailers are more inclined to push the sales of private label products as they offer greater profit margins.

Mexico plays a significant role in the global mining industry in terms of reserves, production and consumption. Mining production posted a healthy growth during the review period and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. Future growth is expected to be driven by the expansion of end-user markets such as the construction, manufacturing and power generation industries, which is expected to increase demand for coal, iron ore and cement. Silver is noted as the key mineral in the Mexican mining industry in terms of value. Mexico is the second-largest producer of silver in the world. Iron ore is the major mineral in terms of volume with other key minerals being copper, fluorspar, salt, molybdenum and barites. The US is the major export destination for the majority of Mexico's key minerals.
