Most industrialized countries presently "export" franchises, indicating that there is already a demand for franchised brands in the majority of nations throughout the world. For instance,
franchising increased by almost 20% in Japan in 2012 alone. The country has been slowly rebuilding since the disaster in 2011. The industry expanded by almost $19 billion as a whole.
The developing world has the biggest market potential for Cousins Maine Lobster. Due in large part to the rising number of middle-class people who are interested in purchasing a luxury good
that they can own and manage according to their own terms, regions like Africa and China have historically demonstrated enormous growth for the franchise business. Due to its inexpensive
startup expenses and extensive training opportunities, Cousins Maine Lobster is an investment that is particularly accessible to those living in poor countries. For instance, there are already over
twenty franchises of our brand functioning in South Africa, and new ones are opening every day.
Cousins Maine Lobster has yet to fully exploit some potential markets. Many developing countries, including Mexico and India, have experienced significant growth during the past ten years.
These nations are anticipated to rank among the top five in terms of potential for the global market by 2023.
Another region of tremendous interest is the Middle East. Even though they lack the cash of more "developed" countries, their residents are ready to invest in franchises and establish
themselves as successful businesspeople. The Middle East has the largest gross domestic product, which means there is more potential for our brand to grow and for more employment to be
created as a result.
