Currently this segment attains 55% of its revenues from the US, signifying an immense opportunity to grow internationally. This is because of the population growth, rising income, and young demographic present in developing economies. Further, a low penetration in potentially high growth countries such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and Thailand, offers tremendous scope to the company, as these countries are expected to grow at a mid-to-high single digit range between 2016 to 2020 for 3M. Moreover, the company aims to achieve a high growth through its e-commerce sales, reaching $800 million through this medium.
