Megatrend 1: Demographic shifts
Explosive population growth in some
areas against declines in others
contributes to everything from shifts
in economic power to resource scarcity
to the changes in societal norms.

Megatrend 2: Shift in global economic power

a rebalancing of the global economies.

Megatrend 3: Accelerating urbanisation
In the 1950s, less than 30% of the world’s
population lived in cities. Currently, that
proportion has risen to 50% and, by 2030,
the UN projects that some 4.9 billion people
will be urban dwellers. By 2015, the UN
estimates that there will be 22 mega-cities –
those with population of 10 million or more
– with 17 located in developing economies.

Megatrend 4: Climate change and resource scarcity
Scarcity of resources and the impact of
climate change are of growing economic
concern. Demand for energy is forecast to
increase by as much as 50% by 2030, and
water withdrawals by 40%.
