As the drivers of globalization continue to pressure both the globalization of markets and

the

globalization of production, we continue to see the impact of greater globalization on

worldwide trade patterns. HSBC, a large global bank, analyzes these pressures and

trends to identify opportunities across markets and sectors through its trade forecasts.

Visit the HSBC Global Connections site and use the trade forecast tool to identify which

export routes are forecasted to see the greatest growth over the next 15 to 20 years.

What patterns do you see? What types of countries dominate these routes?
