The Market Potential Index is used to compare countries that are in transition and entering the markets. This allows companies to determine if a country has the capacity to market a product successfully. Michigan State University Center for International Business Education and Research implements the study on a yearly basis in order to compare and rank the countries on market potential through eight different dimensions with a scale that ranges from one to one-hundred.
