Affluent consumers from developing countries (such as Brazil,
Mexico, Saudi Arabia, UAE, China and Singapore) are younger
consumers. As a rule, the average age for these regions is
35–41 years, and they show greater market interest than those
from developed areas (such as North America and Europe),
which tend to skew older. All regions, except the Middle
East, have an equal or greater proportion of buyers than
sellers. More buyers tend to imply a seller’s market, which is
not necessarily the case on the whole. The disproportionate
amount of buyer demand though, can be seen in many highend markets which are struggling with a lack of inventory at all
price points including the high end.
