In 2013, North and Latin America have delivered a few surprising growth results. The traditional growth economies in Latin America are showing slower growth, whereas there are new economies shining brightly with great promise. Growth in the United States has surprised on the up-side for Q2 2013 and there are positive signs for an upward growth trajectory into 2014. Certain sectors, such as the chemicals industry, are strong performers in 2013 with a trend that is expected to continue into 2014.

There are various pockets of growth within North America and Latin America driven by industry and consumer demand. The growth prospects of these areas will be identified and discussed in this online briefing, which will provide greater insight into the opportunities that exist in these regions.

''Natural gas is changing the manufacturing landscape in the United States and there is innovation-lead growth. Private enterprise is generating job growth and helping the economy," said Art Robbins, President. "It is crucial that we see strong political leadership and we need an active energy policy that supports sustainable growth. Some states get it, and they are making a difference."

Frost & Sullivan( https://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/frost-home.pag )'s regional leaders will unite to elucidate their views on developments that will shape the regional markets of North and Latin America in 2013 and 2014.
