North America, Europe, and Japan have 1 billion people; the rest of the world has 6 billion people. If 1/3 of the people in the rest of the world become pharmaceutical customers



Per capita income relative to the US, population in B:

China 9%, 1.3
India 2.6%, 1.15

I do not know whether those two countries comprising 2.45B people fairly represent the relative income of that other 6B people. Nor do I have stratification data on the per capita income of the top 1/3 of those populations.

But it does raise some question about just what the top 1/3 of the other 6B people will be able to pay for drugs.
