As a fast developing market, Russia presents opportunities for many products and services. An emerging middle class with disposable income is fueling demand for automotive products, household goods, financial services, retail products and a healthcare system; a major construction boom is creating a need for equipment and materials; franchise businesses are growing in both the food and non-food sectors; opportunities for services and equipment for infrastructure upgrades in power generation and telecommunications are growing; and high energy prices are driving demand for oil and gas field equipment and services.
According to a recent survey of U.S. companies by the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia 50% of companies surveyed reported sales increases of 200% from 2001-2005, and 97% projected continued growth for the next 3 years.
